"It would not be easy to find another artist with ability equal to Hook's for discussing the good and evil, the passions and affectations, the fits of generosity and settled systems of saving, the self-sufficiency and the deplorable weakness, the light and darkness, the virtue and the vice, of this prodigious Babel. The stories which he tells might be invented with little outlay of fancy, for the best of them are far from being consistent; but the characters which live and breathe in them would make the narratives pleasing though they were as crooked as the walls of Troy."-ALLAN CUNNINGHAM: ubi supra.

"Doubtless, his wit and humour were apt to degenerate into buffoonery, his pathos into sentimentality, and his nature into conventionalism; but his knowledge of city life, in its manners,

habits, and language, seemed intuitive, and has been surpassed only by Fielding and Dickens. Many and multifarious, however, as are his volumes, he has left behind him no great creation,nothing that can be pointed to as a triumphant index of the extraordinary powers which he undoubtedly possessed."-D. M. MOIR: ubi supra.

TICKLER.Confound haste and hurry! What else can account for Theodore Hook's position? Who that has read his Sayings and Doings, and, above all, his Maxwell, can doubt that, had he given himself time for consideration and correction, we should have been hailing him ere now, nem. con, as another Smollett, if not another Le Sage? . . . .

"NORTH.-"I agree with you; and I sincerely hope this novelimprovisatore will pause ere it is too late, and attempt something really worthy of his imagination. But, as it is, such is the richness of the vis comica showered over these careless extravaganzas, that, unless he himself throws them into the shade by subsequent performances, I venture to say they have a better chance of being remembered a hundred years hence than any contemporary pro

ductions of their class-except only those of the two great lights of Scotland and Ireland-Jam dudum ad scripta Camoenis."JOHN WILSON: Noctes Ambrosiana, Sept. 1831. "His name will be preserved. His political songs and jeuxd'esprit, when the hour comes for collecting them, will form a volume of sterling and lasting attraction; and after many clever romances of this age shall have sufficiently occupied public attention, and sunk, like hundreds of former generations, into utter oblivion, there are tales in his collection which will be read with, we venture to think, even a greater interest than they commanded in their novelty.... We have already expressed our opinion, however, that Theodore Hook's ability in conversation was above what he ever exemplified in his writings. We have seen him in company with very many of the most eminent men of his time; and we never, until he was near his end, carried home the impression with us that he had been surpassed."-J. G. LOCKHART: ubi supra.

Hook, Walter Farquhar, D.D., Vicar of Leeds, Preb. of Lincoln, and Chaplain-in-Ordinary to the Queen, is a son of Dr. James Hook, Dean of Worcester, and a nephew of Theodore Edward Hook, both of whom have already come under our notice. Dr. Hook is noted for his untiring energy in the cause of church extension, and is the author of many theological publications, of which the Church Dictionary, (7th ed., 1854, 8vo,) Ecclesiastical Biography, (vols. i-viii., 1845-52, 12mo,) Hear the Church, (28th ed., 1838, 8vo,) a Call to Union, (4th ed., 1839, 8vo,) and the Serms. on the Miracles, (1847-48, 2 vols. fp. 8vo,) on various subjects, (2d ed., 1844, fp. 8vo,) and those delivered before the Univ. of Oxford, (3d ed., 1847, 12mo,) are among the best-known.

"The Roman History of this judicious and masterly writer is a most valuable accession to the stock of historical learning. The execution is equal throughout. Mr. Hooke seems to have possessed in a very eminent degree the rare talent of separating the partisan from the historian, of which few writers are capable, and of comparing contradictory authorities with impartiality and penetration. He does not appear to have been a bigot to any principles or a slave to any authority."-Lon. Month. Rev.

Hooke, Robert, M.D., 1635-1702, an eminent experimental philosopher, a native of Freshwater, in the Isle of Wight, and son of the rector of that place, was educated at Christ Church, Oxford; elected in January, 1665, Curator of Experiments for the Royal Society for life; and in March of the same year succeeded Dr. Dacres as Professor of Geometry in Gresham College. Hooke was unquestionably one of the most ingenious philosophers whom the world has ever seen, and perhaps no one man ever made so many discoveries, amounting, with the contrivances for illustrating them, to some hundreds. Among those which he claimed-for with respect to some the priority of discovery is a matter of dispute-are: 1656. Barometer or Weather-Glass; 1657. A scapement for maintaining the vibration of a pendulum; and subsequently the regulating or balance-spring for watches; 1658. The Double-barrelled air-pump and the conical pendulum; 1660. The engine for cutting clock and watchwheels; the chief phenomena of capillary attraction; the freezing of water a fixed temperature; 1663. The method of supplying air to a diving-bell; the number of vibrations made by a musical chord; 1665. In this year his Micrographia was pub., in which will be found notices of many of his discoveries on respiration, the composition of the atmosphere, and the nature of light; 1666. A quadrant by reflection; 1667. The marine barometer, and the gauge for sounding unfathomable depths; 1674. Steamengine on Newcomen's principle; 1679. That the air was the sole source of heat in burning, &c.; 1684. The application of the principle of the Telegraph. See Encyc. Brit.; Life, by Waller; Biog. Brit.; Wood's Gresham Professors; Athen. Oxon.; Hallam's Lit. Hist. of Europe; Bouvier's Familiar Astronomy. In 1686, on the publication of Newton's Principia, Hooke (who had in 1671 attacked Newton's New Theory of Light and Colours) claimed the prior discovery of the principle of gravitation, or, rather, the application of that principle. But Newton's letters to Halley settle the matter in favour of the writer. Yet great credit is undoubtedly due to Hooke. To borrow the language of Professor Playfair, when commenting on "the length to which Galileo advanced in this direction, and the point at which he stopped,"

"Hooke did not stop short in the same unaccountable manner, but made a nearer approach to the truth than any one had yet done."-Third Prelim. Dissert. to Encyc. Brit.

In the words of a learned lady of our day,

"The idea expressed by Kepler, of the ebb and flow of the ocean being caused by the attractive influence of the moon, received in 1666 and 1674 a fresh impulse and a more extended ap plication through the sagacity of the ingenious Robert Hooke, a noted experimental philosopher, who distinguished himself by numerous discoveries in science.”—Hannah M. Bouvier's Familiar Astronomy, Phila., 1857, 346.

The following is a list of the works of this distinguished philosopher. 1. An Attempt to Explain the Phenomena of an Experiment of Robert Boyle, Lon., 1661, 8vo. 2.

has been questioned, and that she has even been blamed as a managing mother," for thus converting Miss Joan Churchman into Mrs. Richard Hooker? So uncharitable is human nature! And, from some modern instances which occasionally occur of like censure of mothers whose disinterestedness is not appreciated, it would seem that detraction was not confined to the days of Mrs. Churchman. If his wife did not prove, as his mother-inlaw promised she should, a "comfort" to him, we have evidence that he bore his troubles with laudable equanimity. Two of his former pupils, Mr. Edwin Sandys and Mr. George Cranmer, paid him a visit at his parsonage at Drayton-Beauchamp, in Buckinghamshire, of which he became Rector in 1584; and we are told that

"They found him with a book in his hand, (it was the Odes of Horace,) he being then, like humble and innocent Abel, tending his small allotment of sheep in a common field; which he told these gentlemen he was forced to do then, for that his servant was gone home to dine and assist his wife to do some necessary household business. But when his servant returned and released him, his two pupils attended him unto his house, where their best entertainment was his quiet company, which was presently denied

them; for Richard was called to rock the cradle: and the rest of

their welcome was so like this, that they staid but till next morning, which was time enough to discover and pity their tutor's condition.... They were forced to leave him to the company of his wife Joan, and seek themselves a quieter lodging for the next night. But at their parting from him, Mr. Cranmer said, 'Good Tutor, I am sorry your lot is fallen in no better ground as to your parsonage; and more sorry your wife proves not a more comfortable companion, after you have wearied your thoughts in your restless studies.' To whom the good man replied, My dear George, if saints have usually a double share in the miseries of this life, I, that am none, ought not to repine at what my wise Creator hath appointed for me; but labour (as indeed I do daily) to submit to his will, and possess my soul in patience and peace."-Walton's Life of Hooker.

Here was a model husband indeed.

To this visit of his former pupils are we indebted for that immortal production, The Laws of Ecclesiastical Polity. Edwin Sandys urged his father, then Bishop of London, to find a more comfortable post for his quondam tutor. This led to his appointment, in 1585, after the death of "Father Alvy," of Master of the Temple for life, being then in his 33d or 34th year. Hooker was the morning lecturer, and Mr. Travers held forth in the afternoon. The latter gentleman followed the views of Cartwright, the Puritan, and inclined to the Presbyterian side in discipline. This contrariety of sentiment led to an amicable controversy between the lecturers, who seem to have entertained for each other all due respect. Thus, it was observed, "the forenoon sermon spoke Canterbury, and the afternoon Geneva." Archbishop Whitgift prohibited the lectures of Mr. Travers. Travers appealed to the queen, but in vain; he then published his memorial, which was answered by Hooker. This answer may be considered the germ of his great work, Of the Laws of Ecclesiastical Polity. He commenced his work in the Temple; but, finding less distraction requisite, he solicited the archbishop to permit him to retire to some more quiet post. Accordingly, that prelate presented him, in 1591, to the rectory of Boscombe, in Wiltshire, and to the prebend of Nether-Haven in the Cathedral of Salisbury, of which he was also made sub-dean. Four books of his work were finished at Boscombe, and printed in 1593, fol.; again, 1594, fol. In 1595 Queen Elizabeth presented him to the rectory of Bishopsbourne, in Kent, where he lived the rest of his days. Whilst sailing between London and Gravesend, he caught a cold which carried him off at the early age of forty-seven. He died the death of the righteous, and to his triumphant soul "the doors of Heaven seemed to open so wide" that he was enabled to catch a view of that ineffable glory which surrounds the throne of "the High and Lofty One who inhabiteth Eternity." Happy are they who have the good report of the members of their own household and of their intimate associates; for they have the best opportunity of knowing our faults and detecting all of our infirmities. Our excellent author does not lack this weighty attestation:

"My master, Hooker, was a good man and a good scholar." So testifies his parish clerk.

The 5th Book of his Ecclesiastical Polity was published in 1597, fol.; 1632, fol.; the 7th in 1617, (according to Biog. Brit.,) and the 6th and 8th (the conclusion) in 1648, 4to. The eight books, with a few sermons and tracts, published separately in 1612-13, and a Life of Hooker, were pub. in Dr. Gauden's edition of his works, Lon., 1662, fol.; 2d ed., 1666, fol., with Life, by Walton. It is contended, indeed, that "all the eight books, with certain tractates and sermons, together with the author's life, were published in two vols. in fol., 1617." See Bliss's Wood's Athen. Oxon.,

In the Laws of Ecclesiastical Polity, Hooker presents an elaborate, dignified, and learned defence of the ministry, ritual, and ceremonies of the Church of England. Its polemical arguments have satisfied many; its literary merits have charmed all. Its fame having reached Rome, Cardinal Allen and Dr. Stapleton recommended it so strongly to Clement VIII., that he wished to have it translated into Latin, in which language Stapleton read to him the 1st book, declaring that

"There is no learning that this man hath not searched into; nothing too hard for his understanding. This man indeed deserves the name of an author. His books will get reverence by age; for there is in them such seeds of eternity, that, if the rest be like this, they shall continue till the last fire shall devour all learning."

James I. remarked to Archbishop Whitgift:

"I have received more satisfaction in reading a leaf or paragraph in Mr. Hooker, though it were but about the fashion of churches, or church music, or the like, but especially of the sacraments, than I have had in reading large treatises written but of one of those subjects by others, though very learned

men."

"Charles I. commended the five books then extant of the Polity to his dear children as an excellent means to satisfie private dom." scruples, and settle the publique peace of the Church and King.

Our learned author seems to have a right by long use to the title of "The Judicious Hooker."

"The adamantine and imperishable work of Hooker is his Ecclesiastical Polity. Bishop Lowth, in the preface to his English Grammar, has bestowed the highest praise upon the purity of Hooker's style. Bishop Warburton, in his book on the Alliance the excellent, the admirable, the best good man of our order.'" between the Church and State, often quotes him, and calls him

-DR. PARR.

"Of the illustrious Hooker-whose memory is embalmed in the beautiful biography of him by Isaac Walton-it is sufficient to say, that his Ecclesiastical Polity is, of all works of that description, one of the most masterly and convincing. Never was logic more successfully employed to combat error and establish truth; and the vein of common sense, as well as of spiritual comfort, which pervades the pages of that work, will render it, to the latest posterity, a popular as well as instructive performance."-DR. DIBDIN: Lib. Comp., ed. 1825, '55, '56.

The following is no small eulogy:

"Should the English constitution in Church and State be unhappily ruined by some convulsion of extraordinary times, this book alone probably contains materials sufficient for repairing and rebuilding the shattered fabric."

"He was an able champion for the ecclesiastical hierarchy. His work displays immense learning, reflection, and eloquence, and is still referred to as a great authority upon the whole range of moral and political principles. . . . The Ecclesiastical Polity has furnished, for nearly 200 years, an invaluable defence of the clergy to studious men; but we want, says the Rev. E. Bickersteth, a popular work of the like sound, judicious, and evangelical character, for the establishment of the young, and laymen in general.. Keble's preface, like Walton's life, should precede every subsequent edition. Hooker is universally distinguished for long-drawn melody and mellifluence of language, and his works must find a place in every well-chosen clerical library. His eloquence has been deservedly praised; but the justice of the epithet rather more questionable. Certainly there never was a more Judicious,' which his admirers have attached to his name, is thorough-going advocate of things established than he has shown himself in the whole Fifth Book, forming more than a third part of the entire Ecclesiastical Polity."-Lowndes's Brit. Lib., 380, 599. "Hooker was not permitted to occupy the field of controversy alone. Bilson, Bancroft, Bridges, Cosins, and Dr. Adrian Saravia, a German beneficed in England, appeared on the same side. Bradshaw defended the cause of the Puritans against Bilson, Fenner

against Bridges, Morrice against Cosins, and Beza against Saravia,
although the press was shut against them by law, and their books
could only by published by stealth."-BOGUE.

"The Ecclesiastical Polity of Hooker, who was superior to the
pedantry of the times, is worthy of the present age for its liberal
and manly sentiment."-Comparisons of the Lit. of the Present Age
with that of the Reigns of Eliz. and Anne, by Rev. R. Polwhele.
See Goodhugh's Lib. Man., 165.

"His works manifest great vigour of thought, eloquence of ex-
pression, soundness of judgment, and decidedly evangelical senti-
ment: his Ecclesiastical Polity is one of the bulwarks of the Esta-
blished Church of England."-BICKERSTETH: Christian Student.
"For a defence of the Church of England against the Sectaries,
it will suffice, instar omnium, to study Hooker's Ecclesiastical
Politie, a work bearing all the marks of immortality, as destined
to excite the admiration of men while good letters remain amongst
them."-Bishop Warburton's Directions to his Student.

"The Ecclesiastical Polity is the principal work of this able and
venerable man, and perhaps the best defence of the Church of
England ever published. Those who dissent from his doctrine of
church order may, nevertheless, read this remarkable production
with great advantage, because of the dignity and force of the lan-
guage in which it is written, the author's meekness in contro-
versy, and the very just and impressive views of revealed truth
which he has often introduced."-Dr. E. Williams's Christian
Preacher.

"Amply as Hooker enriched his native tongue, he frequently
presents the cumbrous gait and the rough aspect of a pioneer.
Taylor surpasses him in all the charms of imagination; Hall, in
the sweetness and colour of his thoughts; Barrow, in the illumina-
tion of his argument. But Hooker excelled them all in muscular
vigour.... We turn to his works, as to some mighty bulwark
against infidelity, impregnable to the assaults of successive gene-

rations."-WILLMOTT.

For other comparisons of Hooker to Taylor, Barrow,
&c., see BARROW, ISAAC, D.D.; TAYLOR, JEREMY, D.D.
Referring to Hooker's theological sentiments, Mr. Ma-
caulay remarks:

"The school of divinity of which Hooker was the chief occupies
a middle place between the school of Cranmer and the school of
Laud; and Hooker has in modern times been claimed by the
Arminians as an ally."-History of England, vol. i., 1849.

Dr. Drake remarks of Hooker's composition:
"Though the words, for the most part, are well chosen and
pure, the arrangement of them into sentences is intricate and
harsh, and formed almost exclusively on the idiom and construc-
tion of the Latin. Much strength and vigour are derived from
this adoption, but perspicuity, sweetness, and ease, are too gene-
rally sacrificed. There is, notwithstanding these usual features
of his composition, an occasional simplicity in his pages, both of
style and sentiment, which truly charms."—Essays Illustrative of
the Tatler, de., vol. i. 10.

of fourscore years to see the abundant fruits of his
labours, and receive the grateful benedictions of many
whom he has guided to intellectual elevation and stimu-
lated to the acquisition of mental riches of priceless
worth. Of the author of the Ecclesiastical Polity, Mr.
Hallam does not scruple to declare:

"He not only opened the mine, but explored the depths, of our
native eloquence. So stately and graceful is the march of his
periods, so various the fall of his musical cadences upon the ear,
so rich in images, so condensed in sentences, so grave and noble
his diction, so little is there of vulgarity in his racy idiom, of
pedantry in his learned phrase, that I know not whether any
later writer has more admirably displayed the capacities of our
language, or produced passages more worthy of comparison with
the splendid monuments of antiquity. If we compare the first
book of the Ecclesiastical Polity with what bears perhaps most
resemblance to it of any thing extant, the treatise of Cicero de
Legibus, it will appear somewhat perhaps inferior, through the
imperfection of our language,-which, with all its force and dig
nity, does not equal the Latin in either of those qualities,-and
certainly more tedious and diffuse in some of its reasonings; but
by no means less high-toned in sentiment or less bright in fancy,
and far more comprehensive and profound in the foundations of
its philosophy."-Constit. Hist. of Eng., ed. 1854, i. 215.

Hooker, Thomas, 1586-1647, "The Renowned Pas-
tor of Hartford Church, and Pillar of Connecticut Colony,"
a native of Marfield, Leicestershire, educated at and Fel-
low of Emanuel College, Cambridge, took holy orders and
preached for some time in London. In 1626 he became
assistant to a clergyman at Chelmsford, and officiated with
great reputation until silenced for Non-conformity by Laud,
then Bishop of London. He subsequently went to Hol-
land, where he preached for two or three years at Delft,
Amsterdam, and Rotterdam, and in 1633 emigrated to
Boston, New England, in company with John Cotton and
Samuel Stone. In October of the same year he assumed
the charge of the congregation at New-Town, now Cam-
bridge, Mass., Mr. Stone acting as his assistant. In June,
1636, in company with Mr. Stone and about one hundred
other persons, he removed to "a fertile spot on the banks
of the Connecticut," which they called Hartford,-the name
by which it is still known,-in honour of Mr. Stone, who
was a native of Hartford, in England. In his new loca-
tion, Hooker was distinguished by the same unquenchable
zeal, untiring energy, and fiery eloquence, which were his
characteristics from early youth, and no name had more

The death of the excellent Hooker was lamented as a
public loss, and his virtues were celebrated-if not in as
many languages as those which chanted the praises of
Louis le Grand-in majestic Latin and pathetic Saxon.
John Cotton, Elijah Corlet, Ezekiel Rogers, Peter Bulkley,
and Edward Johnson, were among those who vied in epi-
cedian strains over the lamented dead. The first-named
honoured his departed friend both in prose and verse;-in
