HERVEY, JAMES: Popular religious writer and clergyman of the Church of England; b. at Harding atone (1 m. s. of Northampton) Feb. 26,1714; d. at Weston Favell (1 m. n. of Northampton) Dec. 25, 1758. He was educated at the free grammar-school at Northampton, and at Lincoln College, Oxford (B.A., 1736). At Oxford he came under the in fluence of John Wesley, then fellow and tutor at Lincoln, but finally adopted a strongly Calvinistic creed and determined to remain in the Established Church. After holding curacies in Hampshire and Devonshire, where he was also chaplain to Paul Orchard of Stoke Abbey, he became curate to his father at Weston Favell in 1743, and succeeded to the livings of Weston Favell and Collingtree in 1752. His death was brought about by overwork, both in his parish and in his study. He was the author of several books which, though of no great literary or, theological value, once enjoyed wide popularity, occupying a position in the family library side by side with the Pilgrim's Progress and the Whole Duty of Man. The more important of them are: Medi tations and Contemplations (2 vols., London, 1746 1747; 25th ed.,1791), containing among other things the Meditations among the Tombs; and Theron and Aspasio, or a Series of Dialogues and Letters (3 vols., 1755), which drew replies from John Wesley, Robert Sandeman (qq.v.), and others; and the posthumous Eleven Letters . . . to . . John Wesley (1765), an answer to Wesley's objections. His Works were pub- lished .at Edinburgh (6 vols., 1769) and also in London (7 vols., 1797).

Bibliography: A Life, by Dr. Birch, was prefixed to the Letters, with a supplement by his curate, A. Maddock; a Life by T. W. was prefixed also to the Meditations; and still other editions of his works have had sketches of his life by different hands. Consult DNB, xxvi. 282-284; D. A. Hareha, Life of Rev.
