About 1789, at which time he was actively engaged in measures for the extension of Sunday-schools, he began to prepare himself for the [[Christian]] ministry. He subsequently visited London to take charge of twenty-four young natives of Africa, who were brought from [[Sierra]] Leone to be instructed in' Christianity, with a view to its introduction into their native land; and in 1804 he became pastor of the Independent Church in Kingsland, a charge which he retained until his death, April 4th, 1840. Mr. [[Campbell]] took an active part in the formation of the British and Foreign Bible Society, and several other important religious associations. In 1812 he made a journey to the stations of the London Missionary Society in South Africa, from which he returned in1814. Of this journey he published an account (1815, 8vo). In 1818-21 he revisited Africa, and found some interesting changes produced by the civilization introduced by the missionaries. The journal of his second visit appeared in 1822 (2 vols. 8vo).
