7.--Died at his residence, Notting Hill, London, the Right Rev. Samuel
Hinds, D.D., formerly Bishop of Norwich. Born at Barbadoes in 1793, he
came at an early age to England, and was educated at a private school at
Ridland, near Bristol. He entered Balliol College, Oxford, but migrated
to Queen's, where he took Second Class Honours in Classics and the
University Latin Essay. After ordination by the Bishop of London, he
returned to Barbadoes as the first missionary to the negro population.
Soon afterwards the headmastership of Codrington College fell vacant, and
Dr. Hinds was appointed thereto by Bishop' Howley. On returning to
England, he held a small living in Hertfordshire, and the rectory of
Castle Knock, near Dublin; in 1848 was appointed Dean of Carlisle, and in
1849, on the death of Bishop Stanley, he became Bishop of Norwich. On
account of ill-health he resigned the See in 1857. Bishop Hinds was the
author of "A Treatise on Logic," "A History of the Rise and Early
Progress of Christianity," "An Inquiry into the Nature and Extent of
Inspiration," and "Sonnets and Sacred Poems." "His beautiful hymn, to
which Dr. Buck set such appropriate music, is familiar to every attendant
at our Cathedral services."
