Extract

John Campbell, Lord Glenorchy, was the only son of John Campbell, second Earl of Breadalbane, whom he succeeded in the title in 1752. His diplomatic conduct seems to have been neglectful; he was oftener away from Copenhagen than at his post; and he received censure for the inadequacy of his reports.
