John Henry Hopkins (1792 - 1868)
États-Unis
John Henry Hopkins (January 30, 1792 ? January 9, 1868) was the first bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Vermont and was the eighth Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church in the United States of America. Hopkins was a prolific writer, leaving nearly 20 published works, among which are:
Christianity Vindicated (1833)
The Primitive Creed Examined and Explained (1834)
The Novelties which Disturb our Peace (1844)
History of the Confessional (1850)
The American Citizen: His Rights and Duties (1857)
A Scriptural, Ecclesiastical, and Historical View of Slavery (1864)
Hopkins was also a fine painter and left several family portraits and a book of prints filled with his botanical observations of flowers and other plant-life. His architectural legacy has been mostly erased, unfortunately, as his beautiful gothic St. Paul's Cathedral in Burlington, Vermont was destroyed by fire in 1972. Many plates of his designs for the cathedral and other studies made of Gothic architecture survive, however, and are in the University of Vermont Historical Archives.
