THOMAS HOPKINSON.
THOMAS HOPKINSON was the son of Thomas and Mary Hopkin- son of London, the father being a merchant. Thomas Hopkinson was born in London April 6, 1709, and is said to have attended Oxford, but did not graduate. He studied law, and about 1731 emigrated to Pennsylvania. He became deputy to Charles Read, Clerk of the Orphans' Court of Philadelphia Co., and, on the death of Read, was commissioned as his successor. He was also Master of the Rolls from June 20, 1736 until 1741, was Deputy Prothonotary and afterwards Prothonotary of Phila. Co., and was chosen a Common Councilman of the City Oct. 6, 1741. He practised law, and for several years was Judge of the Admiralty. He became a member of the Provincial Council May 13, 1747. Two years later he became also a County Justice. He took part in all the public enterprises of the time, being one of the corporators of the Library Company, one of the origi- nal Trustees of the College, a subscriber to the first Dancing Assembly and also the first President of the Philosophical Society. As to his attainments in natural philosophy, we have this fact mentioned by Dr. Franklin : "The power of points to throw off the electrical fire was first communicated to me by my ingenious friend Mr. Thomas Hop- kinson since deceased, whose virtue and integrity in every station of life, public and private, will ever make his memory dear to those who knew him and knew how to value him." He d. in Phila. Nov. 5, 1751.

He went to Jamaica in 1773 to solicit subscriptions for the College. The Continental Congress appointed him Director-General and Physician in Chief of the General Hos- pital of the Army in 1775, but removed him from this posi- tion in 1777, because of various charges against him, of all of which he was subsequently acquitted.

FRANCIS HOPKINSON, b. Phila. Sep. 21, 1737, bapt. Xt. Ch. Nov. 12, 1737, son of the Councillor, was the first pupil educated by the College and Academy of Phila., since become the University of Penn- sylvania, and completed his course there in 1757, the other members of the class besides Duche and Morgan, who married his sisters, being James Latta, afterwards a Presbyterian clergyman, Paul Jackson, af- terwards tutor in the institution, Samuel Magaw, who became its Vice Provost, and Hugh Williamson, who attained celebrity as a man of science, and sat in the Continental Congress. In 1759, Hopkinson was made Secretary of the Library Co. He studied law under Ben- jamin Chew the Councillor, and was admitted to the bar in 1761. In that year he acted as secretary at a treaty with the Indians, which he commemorates in his earliest known poetical effusion, " The Treaty," published soon afterwards. In the next few years, while practising law in Philadelphia, he was a very active member of the United Episcopal Churches, serving in the capacity of Secretary to the Vestry, and organist of Christ Church, and training the children of both con- gregations in " the art of psalmody." From February, 1764, to May 1765, he acted as librarian as well as secretary of the Philadelphia Library. In October, 1765, appeared in the Pennsylvania Journal the following advertisement: "This is to inform the Public that the " subscriber, intending to follow the business of Conveyancing in all "its branches, has taken a room for that purpose at the corner of "Lætitia Court in Market Street. All those who may be pleased to " favour him with their employ may depend on being served with all " the fidelity, accuracy and dispatch in his power. Francis Hopkin- “son."
In the following May, he embarked for Europe in company with his friend Redmond Conyngham, who was returning to his estate at Letterkinny, Ireland. They arrived at Londonderry June 27th, after a voyage of thirty two days. Spending a few weeks in Ireland, he proceeded to London, where, with occasional visits to Hartlebury Castle, the residence of his cousin the Bishop of Worcester, he re-

mained about a year, associating with John Penn, Benjamin West, Lord North, and other persons of distinction, and endeavoring with- out success to be appointed one of the Commissioners of the Customs for North America. After his return to his native place, he resumed the practice of law, and also for some time kept store. His dwelling, where also he consulted with his clients, and sold his wares, was in Race Street above 3rd. He was a member of both of the societies which, in 1769, united to form the American Philosophical Society held at Philadelphia for Promoting Useful Knowledge. He was a warden of Christ Church 1770-1771, and a director of the Library Co. from 1771 to 1773. In March, 1772, he was appointed Collector of the Customs at New Castle. He performed the duties by deputy. Brought into affiiations with New Jersey by his marriage, and for some years more or less a resident of Bordentown in that province, he was a member of its Provincial Council from 1774 until the Revolu- tion, and in June, 1776, was chosen by the Constitutional Convention one of its delegates to the Continental Congress. He served on the committee of that body to draft Articles of Confederation, he voted in favor of declaring America independent, and signed the Declaration of Independence. He was intrusted with important duties connected with the Continental navy, being the head of that department of the government. He also was Treasurer of the Continental Loan Office.
In January, 1778, he wrote his best known ballad, "The Battle of the Kegs," descriptive of the attempt upon the British in Philadelphia. with torpedoes from up the Delaware, which floated harmlessly past the city. " Possessing just enough of the spirit of true poetry to please the mass, while the rather doggerel versification rendered it easy to recite, it presented the most ridiculous side of the subject in the wittiest possible manner." Throughout the war he supported the cause of the new States in various productions of his pen in prose and verse ; and Dr. Benjamin Rush has said, "The various causes which contri- buted to the establishment of the Independence and federal govern- ment of the United States will not be fully traced unless much is ascribed to the irresistible influence of the ridicule which he poured forth, from time to time, upon the enemies of those great political events." By appointment from the Supreme Executive Council of Pennsylvania, he succeeded George Ross as Judge of the Admiralty at Philadelphia, and, although impeached by the Assembly of the State of various misdemeanors, but of all of which he was acquitted (the account of his trial has been published), he held the position, being

twice reappointed, from July 16, 1779 until after the Federal Consti- tution went into force. In February, 1789, he published a volume of his decisions. After the meeting of the Convention which framed the Federal Constitution, he wrote a humorous piece, " History of a New Roof," which strongly influenced the public in favor of its adop- tion. On the establishment of the District Court of the United States for the District of Pennsylvania, of the business of which ad- miralty causes were to form the chief part, President Washington ap- pointed him Judge. He died, while holding this office, on Monday May 9, 1791 of a stroke of apoplexy, which carried him off in a couple of hours.

the summer of 1798, at the request of a schoolmate who had become connected with the theatre, and wished a patriotic song to sing at his benefit. Advancing rapidly in his profession, he was leading counsel for Dr. Rush in his suit against William Cobbett in 1799. He was also one of the counsel for Justice Samuel Chase in his impeachment trial before the U. S. Senate in 1805. Sanderson's Lives of the Sign- ers says, " The speech of Mr. Hopkinson, who was then a very young man, has not been exceeded as a specimen of powerful and brilliant eloquence in the forensic oratory of our country." Chase was ac- quitted.
A Federalist in politics, he was elected in 1814 a representative in Congress. He served one term, and spoke and voted against charter- ing the United States Bank. He was appointed in 1828 by Pres. Adams U. S. District Judge for the Eastern Dist. of Pennsylvania, and held the office until his death. He was a member of the conven- tion of 1837 to revise the Constitution of Pennsylvania and as Chair- man of its Committee on the Judiciary contended unsuccessfully for the life tenure of the judges. He was author of various addresses and various articles on legal and ethical subjects, and was many years President of the Academy of Fine Arts and Vice President of the American Philosophical Society.
