About the author

Robert Granville Campbell (1879–1932) was an American political scientist and author. Available library and reference records identify him with Johns Hopkins University, where his work in political science helped shape his best-known study of international law.

He is chiefly remembered for Neutral Rights and Obligations in the Anglo-Boer War (1908). In its preface, the book is described as growing out of work done in the Political Science Seminary at Johns Hopkins, and catalog records also describe him as a fellow in political science there.

Published sources found here confirm his life dates as 1879 to 1932, but they offer only limited personal detail beyond his academic work. No suitable verified portrait image was found from the sources reviewed, so none is included.
