John Abercrombie (1780 – 1844). Physician and writer on mental science, son of a minister, was born at Aberdeen, and educated at the Grammar School and Marischal College there. He studied medicine at Edinburgh, in which city he practised as a physician. He made valuable contributions to the literature of his profession, and published two works, Enquiry Concerning the Intellectual Powers (1830) and The Philosophy of the Moral Feelings (1833), which, though popular at the time of their publication, have long been superseded.
For his services as a physician and philanthropist he received many marks of distinction, including the Rectorship of Marischal College.
