The late Rev. J. H. Hinton, of Bristol, 1874. 'The Rev. John Howard Hinton, a Baptist minister of some eminence among the Nonconformist congregations, died at Clifton, Bristol, two or three weeks ago. He was eighty-two years of age, having been born at Oxford, in 1791. He was son of a Baptist minister, and was educated at the Baptist College of Bristol, but took his degree of M.A. at the University of Edinburgh. His first charge in the ministry was at Haverfordwest, whence he removed to Reading, and afterwards became pastor of the church and congregation in Devonshire-square, Bishopsgate-street. Five or six years ago he left London, and retired to a private life at Clifton. Mr. Hinton was not only a good and useful minister of religion, but was the author of some literary works of merit, besides his theological writings. He was the editor, amongst other publications, of a history and description of the United States of America, and of a book on the elements of natural history. The funeral of Mr. Hinton, in the cemetery at Arno's Vale, near Clifton, was attended by most of the Baptist and Independent ministers of Bristol'. From "Illustrated London News", 1874.
