John Howard Hinton

John Howard Hinton

John Howard Hinton (23 March 1791–11 December 1873) was an English author and Baptist minister who published, along with many other works, "The History and Topography of the United States of North America" together with his brother Isaac. He is the father of surgeon James Hinton.

Born in Oxford, he first preached in Reading, afterwards became pastor of a Baptist church in London, and was distinguished as an independent and original preacher, and a zealous advocate for liberty in religion and politics, for example arguing that it was the church's responsibility to punish "violations of morality", such as lying, whereas the state should limit itself to enforcing "offences against society" (which might encompass the former, such as theft).
