The enumeration of the titles of these works shows their essential character. They are chie y, as they are represented to be, contributions to His tory but under this modest title they exhibit the genuine elements of the true historian: for Dr. Hawks, though a consummate rhetorician in the pulpit, was a close, accurate, laborious student in the closet, and thought no labour too great to be expended upon original inquiry and the critical examination of the facts requisite for all historical composi tion worthy the name. It is worthy to note, in our estimate of the man, the self - denial with which he immured himself in recondite studies, seldom pursued with the same avidity by men of his ardent temperament and capacity for active life.
