Besides his articles in the _Princeton Review_, he published a
_Commentary on the Epistle to the Romans_ (1835, abridged 1836,
rewritten and enlarged 1864, new ed. 1886), _Constitutional History of
the Presbyterian Church in the United States_ (2 vols., 1839-1840);
_The Way of Life_ (1841); _Commentaries on Ephesians_ (1856); 1
_Corinthians_ (1857); 2 _Corinthians_ (1859); _Systematic Theology_ (3
vols., 2200 pp., 1871-1873), probably the best of all modern
expositions of Calvinistic dogmatic; and _What is Darwinism?_ (1874),
in which he opposed "Atheistic Evolutionism." After his death a volume
of _Conference Papers_ (1879) was published. His life, by his son, was
published in 1880.
His son, ARCHIBALD ALEXANDER HODGE (1823-1886), also famous as a
Presbyterian theologian, was born at Princeton on the 18th of July 1823.
He graduated at the College of New Jersey in 1841, and at the Princeton
Theological seminary in 1846, and was ordained in 1847. From 1847 to
1850 he was a missionary at Allahabad, India, and was then pastor of
churches successively at Lower West Nottingham, Maryland (1851-1855); at
Fredericksburg, Virginia (1855-1861), and at Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania
(1861-1864). From 1864 to 1877 he was professor of didactic and
polemical theology in the Allegheny Theological seminary at Allegheny,
Pennsylvania, where he was also from 1866 to 1877 pastor of the North
Church (Presbyterian). In 1878 he succeeded his father as professor of
didactic theology at the Princeton seminary. He died on the 11th of
November 1886. Besides writing the biography of his father, he was the
author of _Outlines of Theology_ (1860, new ed. 1875; enlarged, 1879);
_The Atonement_ (1867); _Exposition of the Confession of Faith_ (1869);
and _Popular Lectures on Theological Themes_ (1887).

HODGKIN, THOMAS (1831- ), British historian, son of John Hodgkin
(1800-1875), barrister, was born in London on the 29th of July 1831.
Having been educated as a member of the Society of Friends and taken the
degree of B.A. at London University, he became a partner in the banking
house of Hodgkin, Barnett & Co., Newcastle-on-Tyne, a firm afterwards
amalgamated with Lloyds' Bank. While continuing in business as a banker,
Hodgkin devoted a good deal of time to historical study, and soon became
a leading authority on the history of the early middle ages, his books
being indispensable to all students of this period. His chief works are,
_Italy and her Invaders_ (8 vols., Oxford, 1880-1899); _The Dynasty of
Theodosius_ (Oxford, 1889); _Theodoric the Goth_ (London, 1891); and an
introduction to the _Letters_ of Cassiodorus (London, 1886). He also
wrote a _Life of Charles the Great_ (London, 1897); _Life of George Fox_
(Boston, 1896); and the opening volume of Longman's _Political History
of England_ (London, 1906).
