HANNAH, JOSEPH ADDISON: Church of Eng land; b. at Warrington (15 m. e. of Liverpool), Lancashire, Dec. 1, 1867. He was educated at Queen's College, Cambridge (B.A., 1890), and, after being assistant master at Warrington Grammar school in 1890-91, was ordered deacon in 1892, and ordained priest in the following year. He was chaplain and tutor in St. John's College, Battersea (1892-95 ),and since 1895 has been principal of the Norwich and Ely Diocesan Training College at Norwich.

HANNE, hSn'e, JOHANN WILHELM:German Prot estant; b. at Harber (near Lüneburg, 68 m. n.n.e. of Hanover) Dec. 29, 1813; d. at Eppendorf (a sub urb of Hamburg) Nov. 21,1889. He attended gym nasiums at Hildesheim and Brunswick, and the uni versities of Göttingen, Halls, and Berlin, receiving his degree of Ph.D. from Jena in 1840, after having devoted three years to private patristic studies at Wolfenbüttel. From 1840 to 1848 he was at Brunswick, where he incurred the enmity of the rationalistic clergy of the city, who succeeded in debarring him from position after position, so that, in 1851, he was compelled to accept a country pastorate at the Hanoverian village of Betheln. He removed to a similar position at Salzhemmendorf in 1854. His fortune changed, however, in 1861, when he was called to Greifswald as pastor of St. James's and also as professor of practical theology at the university of the same city. He retained these positions until his retirement from active life in 1886, after which he spent the remainder of his life at Eppendorf.

Hanne's theological position was essentially positive, although his poetic.and philosophical tendencies brought him into frequent conflict with the strictly orthodox as well as with the rationalists. At a later period he entered the Protestantenverein, but in his concluding years he maintained a distinctly irenic attitude, particularly toward younger colleagues whose views differed essentially from his own. His writings comprise the following works:
