This article appears in Volume V13, Page 871 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: HOR-I25
HULSE, JOHN (1708-1790) , English divine, was bornthe eldest of a family of nineteenat Middlewich, in Cheshire, in 1708. Entering St John's College,
Cambridge
 , in 1724, he graduated in 1728; and on taking orders (in 1732) was presented to a small country curacy. His father having died in 1753, Hulse succeeded to his estates in Cheshire, where, owing to feeble health, he lived in retirement till his death in December 1790. He bequeathed his estates to
Cambridge
  University for the purpose of maintaining two divinity scholars (3o a year each) at St John's College, of
founding
  a prize for a dissertation, and of instituting the offices of Christian advocate and of Christian preacher or Hulsean lecturer. By a
statute
  in 186o the Hulsean professorship of divinity was substituted for the office of Christian advocate, and the lectureship was considerably modified. The first course of lectures under the benefaction was delivered in 1820. In 183o the number of annual lectures or sermons was reduced from twenty to eight; after 1861 they were further reduced to a minimum of four. The annual value of the Hulse endowment is between goo and coo, of which eight-tenths go to the professor of divinity and one-tenth to the prize and lectureship respectively.
An account of the Hulsean lectures from 182o to 1894 is given in J. Hunt's Religious Thought in the 19th Century, 332-338; among the lecturers have been
Henry
  Alford (1C41), R. C. Trench (1845), Christopher Wordsworth (1847), Charles Merivale (186,), James Moorhouse (1865), F. W. Farrar (187o), F. J. A.
Hort
  (1871), W. Boyd Carpenter (1878). W. Cunningham (1885), M. Creighton (1893).
