Herman Hooker <ref name="term_44166" />

<p> 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. </p>
