born Feb. 15, 1752, in Frederick County, Xa. For a time he attended a classical scliool in Culpepper County. In 1 778 he went to Liberty Hall Academy, and there com- l)Ieted his studies in 1780. In November, 1781, he was licensed to preach, and was ordained pastor of a church at Hardy Dec. 13, 1782. In 1787, the Southern climate jjroving injurious to his health, he removed to Shep- lierdstown, where he gathered a large congregation and acquired great popularity. In 1805 he opened a classic- al school, mainly for the education of his own sons. He maintained this, however, only a short time, when he was called to the presidency of Hampden Sidney College, as successor of Dr. Alexander. Five j^ears later, while at the head of the college, the degree of D.D. was conferred on him by Princeton College. In 1812 the Sj'nod of Virginia established a theological seminary, and Dr. Iloge was called to it as a professor. He accepted this position, retaining, however, the presidency of Hampden Sidney College. He died Sept. 5, 1820. He enjoyed the reputation of being a superior preacher. "John Kandolph pronounced him the most eloquent man he
had ever heard Yet Dr. Hoge had some great
disadvantages. His voice had considerable unpleas- antness, arising from a nasal twang ; so that he must be regarded as a very remarkable man to win such commendation from his gifted countryman." He wrote, in 1793, in defence of the Calvinistic doctrine, a reply to the Rev. Jeremiah Walker, a Baptist minister who had suddenly passed from ultra Calvinism to the en- tire rejection of the Calvinistic doctrines. He also published The Christian Panoply (1799), designed as an antidote to Paine's .l^re of Reason. It consists of two parts, the first containing the substance of Watson"s reply to Paine's first part, and the second Hoge's answer to the second part of Paine's work. It had a wide circulation, and exerted a very important influence. Avolume of his sermons was published shortly after his death, but their circulation has been very limited, and they hardly do justice to his character as a jireacher. A memoir of Dr. Hoge was partly prepared by his sons, but seems to liave been lost, as it has never gone into print. — .4 mer. Presb. Rev. Jan. 1864, p. 93 sq. ; Sprague, ^ m(a/s of the Amer.

Hoge, Samuel D., D.D., a Presbyterian minister, son of Dr. :Moses Hoge, was born in Shepherdstown,Ya., in 1791. His early instruction he received from his fa- ther, after whose assumption of the presidency of Hamp- den Sidney College he became a student in that college, aiul graduated in 1810. He also pursued his theological course under his father, filling at the same time the ap- pointment of tutor at his alma mater. Later he became j)rofessor, and at one time he acted even as vice-presi- dent. In 1816 he entered the active work of the min- istry, serving the two churches of Culpepper and Mad- ison, Virginia, at the same time. In 1821 he removed to Hillsborough, Ohio, serving also a church at Rocky Spring at the same time. Three years later he was elected professor of mathematics and natural philosophy in the Ohio University at Athens. The college being at this time without a president, Dr. Hoge performed the duties of that office, and greatly increased the prosperity of the institution. At the same time, he preached in the college chapel and in the church of the town whenever his time and health would permit. H(j died in December, 1826. — Sprague, Ann. of Am. Pulpit, iv, 483.
