John Campbell’s (1708-1775) biographer, Guido Abbattista, has argued that Campbell sought to publish a pamphlet, Thoughts on Public Affairs, in 1761. However, a review of Campbell’s private correspondence in 1761 with the future prime minister, John Stuart, 3rd earl of Lord Bute (1713-1792), indicates that the historian sought not to publish a pamphlet, but newspaper articles that promote the king’s new reign and his administration. Six of these articles have been found in the London Evening Post, and they use ideas and language from Henry St. John, 1st viscount Bolingbroke to represent George III as a Patriot King, to advance the Tory policies of Bute’s future administration, and to encourage a prospective peace to the Seven Years’ War (1756-1763). These six, new attributions to Campbell not only expand his extensive canon, but also portray his significant role in offering the rhetoric and depicting the ideas of George III’s early reign and Bute’s ascendency to premiership.

约翰·坎贝尔在伦敦晚报上为比特勋爵撰写的“短篇论文”

约翰·坎贝尔（John Campbell，1708-1775）的传记作者吉多·阿巴蒂斯塔 (Guido Abbattista) 认为，坎贝尔试图在 1761 年出版一本名为《公共事务思想》的小册子。 然而，对坎贝尔 1761 年与未来总理约翰·斯图亚特 (John Stuart, 3rd) 的私人通信的评论比特伯爵 (1713-1792) 指出，这位历史学家不打算出版小册子，而是出版宣传国王新统治及其管理的报纸文章。其中六篇文章已在伦敦晚报中找到，它们使用亨利·圣约翰的思想和语言，第一子爵博林布鲁克将乔治三世代表为爱国者国王，推进比特未来政府的保守党政策，并鼓励七年战争（1756-1763）的预期和平。这六个对坎贝尔的新归因不仅扩展了他广泛的经典，
