DOANE, GEORGE WASHINGTON (17991859) , American churchman, Protestant Episcopal bishop of New Jersey
Jersey
York
Hobart , whom he assisted in Trinity church, New York
rector in 1830-1832 of Christ church, Boston, and was bishop of New Jersey from October 1832 to his death at Burlington, New Jersey, on the 27th of April 1859. The diocese of New Jersey was an unpromising field, but he took up his work there with characteristic vigour, especially in the foundation of St Mary's Hall
control . His business management of these schools got him heavily into debt, and in the autumn of 1852 a charge of lax administration came before a court of bishops, who dismissed it. The schools showed him an able and wise disciplinarian, and his patriotic orations and sermons prove him a speaker of great power. He belonged to the High Church party and was a brilliant controversialist. He published Songs by the Way (1824), a volume of poems; and his hymns beginning " Softly now the light of day " and " Thou art the Way " are well known.See Life and Writings of George Washington Doane (4 vols., New York, 186o-186x), edited by his son, William Croswell Doane (b. 1832), first bishop of Albany.
