Abercrombie

Abercrombie, John, an eminent physician, born at Aberdeen, 1781. He practised for many years in Edinburgh, and made valuable researches in pathological anatomy. His fame, however, rests on his moral and logical speculations embodied in his two works, The Intellectual Powers of Man and the Investigation of Truth, and The Philosophy of the Moral Feelings. His kindly manners and unaffected piety caused him to be much beloved. He died suddenly in 1844.
