Scottish theologian and philosopher (1811-1894). McCosh, a Calvinist minister, made his name as one of the group to leave the established Church and set up the Free Church of Scotland in 1843 (a group led by Thomas Chalmers). He taught at Queens’ College in Belfast, before becoming President of the College of New Jersey, Princeton in 1868. He wrote on a wide variety of theological, philosophical and psychological topics. His major works included The Method of Divine Government, Physical and Moral (1850), The Scottish Philosophy from Hutcheson to Hamilton (1875), and The Emotions (1880).
