himself, and continued it till 1851. In 1850 he received the silver medal of the Charlestown, Mass., mechanics' association, awarded for the best specimen of the art. After 1851 he achieved a reputation as a portrait-painter.
HARTWICK, or HARTWIG, John Christopher,
clergyman, b. in Saxa-Gotha, Germany,
6 June, 1714; d. in Livingston Manor, N. Y.,
17 July, 1796. He is said to have studied at the
University of Halle, and engaged in missionary
work among the Jews, at the age of twenty-five
years. In 1745 he was called to this country in
order to take charge of several Lutheran
congregations in Dutchess and Columbia counties, N. Y.,
and was ordained, 24 Nov., in the German
Lutheran church in London. In the spring of 1746
he arrived at Philadelphia, Pa., and, after visiting
several of the Lutheran pastors in Pennsylvania,
went to New York state and entered on his duties
as pastor of congregations at Germantown,
Livingston, Wirtemberg, and Rhinebeck. In 1748 he
was present in Philadelphia at the organization of
the first Lutheran synod. He was somewhat
eccentric, and consequently unfortunate in his
ministry; and being exceedingly restless, he moved
from place to place. In 1751-'2 he was in
Pennsylvania, in 1755 in New York, in 1757 at Reading,
Pa., in 1761-'2 at Trappe, in 1764 in
Philadelphia, then successively in Maryland, Virginia,
Massachusetts, Maine, and in 1783 in New York,
where he urged the Dutch Lutherans to remain
in the city, and not follow their pastor, Hansihl,
who, being a royalist during the Revolution, fled
with many of his parishioners to Nova Scotia,
after the evacuation of New York by the British
forces. Mr. Hartwick left a large estate, which
he had purchased from the Mohawk Indians —
“a certain tract of land on the south side of
Mohawk river, between Schoharie and Cherry valley,
along a certain small creek, containing nine miles
in length and four miles in breadth,” located in
Otsego county, and included in the present town
of Hartwick. His sole purpose in this purchase
was to use his property for the glory of God and
the spreading of his kingdom; and he made his
bequest accordingly. In his will he directed that
his estate should be used for the establishment of
a college and theological seminary. For a time
after his death the income of the estate was used
to instruct young men privately in the classics and
theology; and in 1815 the contemplated institution
was opened, under the name of Hartwick
seminary. The present buildings are valued at
$30,000, and the endowments at $35,000.
HARVARD, John, philanthropist, b. in Southwark,
London, England, in November, 1607; d.
in Charlestown, Mass., 24 Sept., 1638. His
father, Robert Harvard, was a butcher. His mother,
possessing some property, sent John to
Emmanuel college, Cambridge, where he was graduated
in 1635. Subsequently he was ordained as
a dissenting minister, and in 1637 married Ann
Sadler, the daughter of a Sussex clergyman, and
sailed for New England, where he was made a
freeman of Massachusetts on 2 Nov. of that year. It
appears on the town-records that in 1638 a tract
of land was deeded to him in Charlestown, where
he exercised his ministerial functions. In April,
1638, he was appointed one of a committee “to
consider of some things tending toward a body of
laws.” At his death his property was worth about
£1,500, one half of which he left for the erection
of the college that bears his name. A part
of this bequest is said to have been diverted from
its original purpose. He also left to the college a
library of 320 volumes, which indicated the taste of
a scholar. The alumni erected a granite monument
to his memory in the burial-ground of Charlestown,
which was dedicated with an address by
Edward Everett, 26 Sept., 1828. A memorial statue
of Harvard, the gift of Samuel James Bridge to
the university, was unveiled, 15 Oct., 1884, with an
address by Rev. George Edward Ellis (Cambridge,
1884). The illustration represents the first Harvard
hall, which was burned, and was replaced by the
present structure in 1766.
HARVEY, Arthur, Canadian journalist, b. in
Halesworth, Suffolk, England, in 1834. He was
educated in Holland and at Trinity college, Dub-
lin, and in 1856 emigrated to Canada, where subse-
quently he became editorially connected with the
Hamilton " Spectator." He was secretary of the
commission that was appointed to negotiate a new
treaty with the United States, and some time after-
ward published " The Year-Book of Canada."
Mr. Harvey suggested and rendered effective the
insurance legislation of the Dominion, and in 1870
assumed the management of the Provincial insur-
ance company at Toronto.
HARVEY, James Madison, governor of Kan-
sas, b. in Monroe county, Va., 21 Sept., 1833. He
was educated in the public schools of Indiana,
Iowa, and Illinois, and practised surveying and
civil engineering until he removed to Kansas in
1859, when he became a farmer. He was captain
in the 4th and 10th regiments of Kansas infantry
from 1861 till 1864, a member of the lower house of
the legislature in 1865-6, and of the state senate
in 1867-"8. In 1869-71 he was governor of Kan-
sas, and in 1874-'7 was a U. S. senator, having been
chosen as a Republican to fill the vacancy caused
by the resignation of Alexander Caldwell.
HARVEY, Sir John, governor of Virginia. He was appointed to this office after Yeardley's death in 1627, arrived in Virginia in 1629, and met his first assembly of burgesses in 1630. He supported those who desired separate jurisdictions and grants of land, preferring the interest of individual patrons, especially Lord Baltimore, to the claims of the colony. He held a warrant to receive for him-
self all fines arising from any sentence in the judicial courts, and many such were accordingly imposed on the colonists. In 1635 he was suspended and impeached by the assembly. He attempted to make terms with the council, which would yield to none of his conditions, and elected
John Vest in his place. He then went to England, his cause was investigated by the privy council, and he was restored by the king in 1636, and returned to Virginia in' 1637. He assembled the council in Elizabeth City, and published the king's proclamation, pardoning many who had opposed him. He continued in office until 1639, and is said to have been one of the most rapacious, tyrannical, and unpopular of the colonial governors.
