Hooker, Herman, D.D
A Protestant Episcopal clergyman, was born at Poultney, Vt., in 1804; graduated at Middlebury College in 1825, and later at the Princeton Theological Seminary, and was licensed as a Presbyterian, with great promise both as a scholar and speaker. He finally joined the Protestant Episcopal Church, but the partial loss of his sight and of his voice soon compelled his retirement from the ministry; and he became a bookseller at Philadelphia, continuing, however, at the same time, his theological studies. He died at Philadelphia, Pa., Sept. 26,1865. His principal works are, The Portion of the Soul (Philadelphia 1835, 32mo, and republished in England) Popular Infidelity (Philadelphia 1836, 12mo) Family Book of Devotion (1836, 8vo) The Uses of Adversity and the Provisions of Consolation (Philadelphia 1846, 18mo) Thoughts and Maxims (Philadelphia 1847, 16mo) The Christian Life A Fight of Faith (Philadelphia 1848,18mo). He also published a large number of English and American works. Dr. Hooker was a vigorous and close thinker, a clear writer, a devout and conscientious Christian, full of true and consistent charity. He made the Nashotah Seminary a residuary legatee, which bequest probably amounted to about $10,000. See Church Rev. Jan. 1866; Allibone, Dict. of Authors, 1, 878.
