THE NEW SCHAFF-HERZOG
1899); The Application of Lutheran Principles to Church Architecture (Pittsburg. Pa., 1905); and Summer Sermons (Reading, Pa., 1908). He has likewise contributed numerous liturgical articles to Lutheran periodicals, and has translated J. K. W Loehe's Fragen und Antworten zu den sechs Hauptstiicken D. Martin Luthers (Columbia, S.

HORN, WILLIAM: Evangelical Association bishop; b. at Oberfischbach, Prussia, May 7, 1839. He was self-educated, and after occupying a number of pastorates in his denomination from 1861 to 1871, became, in 1872, editor of the German Sundayschool literature of the Evangelical Association, a position which he held for seven years (1S72-79) . He was then editor of the Christlicher Botschafter from 1879 to 1891, and since 1891 has been a bishop of his denomination. In theology Horn lays special stress on the love of God and on the redeeming work of Christ. He has written President James A. Garfields Lebens- und Leidensgeschichte (Cleveland, O. 1SS1) ; Life of Bishop John Seybert (Stuttgart, 1894) Life of Bishop John J. Escher (Cleveland, O., 1907) and Wegebliithen (poems, 1907).
HORNE, GEORGE: Bishop of Norwich; b. at Otham, near Maidstone (8 m. s.s.e. of Rochester), Kent, Nov. 1, 1730; d. at Bath Jan. 17, 1792. He studied at University and Magdalen colleges, Oxford (B.A., 1749; M.A., 1752), and passed the greater part of his life at Magdalen, having obtained a fellowship there in 1750. In 1768 he became president of Magdalen, and in 1776 vice-chancellor of the university. From 1771 to 1781 he was chaplainin-ordinary to the king. In the latter year he was made dean of Canterbury, and in 1790 he was elevated to the see of Norwich. He was a good Hebrew scholar, a genial writer, and one of the best preachers of his time. He sympathized with the Methodists, and adopted and defended the views of John Hutchinson (q.v.), who had much in common with the Methodists. Home published frequent sermons, a defense of Hutchinsonianism, numerous pamphlets against Newton, Hume, Adam Smith, William Law, and others, and also a criticism of Benjamin Kennicott's plan to collate the Hebrew text of the Bible as a basis for a new English translation. His chief work, however, is his Commentary on the Book of Psalms (2 vols., Oxford, 1776), which occupied him twenty years. This work, which has passed through many editions, is characterized by a combination of exegetical treatment with devotional suggestiveness. Home's Works were edited by W. Jones (6 vols., London, 1795).

HORNE, THOMAS HARTWELL: Biblical scholar and bibliographer; b. in London Oct. 20, 1780; d. there Jan. 27, 1862. He was educated at Christ's Hospital, London, where for two years he was a contemporary with S. T. Coleridge, from whom he received private instruction in the summer of 1790. In 1796 he became a barrister's clerk. To eke out
his meager salary he took up authorship and wrote or edited, numerous works on such diverse subjects as theology, law, grazing, topography, and bibliography. In 1808 he undertook the compilation of the indexes to the three volumes of the Harleian manuscripts in the British Museum. After the completion of this work he remained in the employ of the Record Office. He was sublibrarian of the Surrey Institution 1809-23. Admitted to holy orders, he was curate at Christ Church 1819-25 and assistant minister at Walbeck Chapel 1825-33. He took the degree of B.D. at Cambridge in 1829. In 1S31 he received a prebend in St. Paul's, London, and in 1833 he became rector of the united parishes of St. Edmund the King and St. Nicholas Aeons, London. From 1824 to 1860 he was also senior assistant librarian in the department of printed books in the British Museum. His chief work Ls An Introduction to the Critical Study and Knowledge of the Holy Scriptures (3 vols., London, 1818; 11th ed., 4 vols., 1860), which at once became one of the principal class-books for the study of the Scriptures in Protestant institutions in Great Britain and America. While this very comprehensive work has now been superseded, it remains monumental as the embodiment of the best scholarship of the time in the various departments of Biblical learning.

HORNEIUS, hor-nai'us (HORNEY), CONRAD:
German Protestant; b. at Brunswick Nov. 25, 1590; d. at Helmstedt Sept. 26, 1649. He was educated at the school of St. Catherine in Brunswick, and at the University of Helmstedt, where he was a favorite pupil of the humanist Johannes Caselius. In 1619 he became professor of logic and ethics at Helmstedt, and in 1628 professor of theology. Like Calixtus, his colleague, he advocated the study of Aristotle and opposed the application of the doctrine and method of Petrus Ramus in philosophy, pedagogics, and theology; and like Calixtus he was attacked by the ruling orthodoxy on account of his liberal views in theology. In Nov., 1648, the three courts of Brunswick commissioned Calixtus and Horneius to furnish an exposition of the questions in dispute. Horneius treated the necessity of good works, the authority of ecclesiastical antiquity, and the study of concord and mutual tolerance. He wrote Compendium dialectics (Helmstedt, 1623); Disputationes ethicce (1618); Compendium naturalis philosophies (1618); Disquisitiones metaphysics (1622); Institutions logical (1623); Institutiones philosophic moralis (1624); Exercitationes and Disputationes logicce (1621). Against his theological opponents he wrote: Defensio disputationis de summa fidei quce per caritatem operatur, necessitate ad
salutem (1647); Iterata assertio de necessitate fidei per caritatem operantis (1649); Repetitio doctrina verce de necessitate bonorum operum (1649), and other works. After his death appeared Compendium historioe ecclesiastic it (1649), on the three first centuries; commentaries on Hebrews (1654) and the
