dener's Magazine,’ 9 vols. 8vo, Dublin, 1834–1842. He also edited, in great part, ‘The Illustrated Book of Domestic Poultry,’ 8vo, London, 1854 (new edit. [1870]). In all his writings Hickey took the broadest philanthropic views, studiously avoiding religious and political controversy. He was a member of the Royal Dublin Society, and was awarded their gold medal in recognition of his services to Ireland. He also enjoyed a pension from the Royal Literary Fund. He died comparatively poor on 24 Oct. 1875, aged 87. His portrait, drawn by Charles Grey, A.R.H.A., and etched by J. Kirkwood, accompanied a biographical sketch in the ‘Dublin University Magazine’ for April 1840 (xv. 374–6). Hickey's other works are:
- ‘An Address to the Landlords of Ireland on subjects connected with the Melioration of the Lower Classes,’ 1831.
- ‘Common Sense for Common People; or Illustrations of Popular Proverbs, designed for the use of the Peasantry of Ireland,’ 1835.
- ‘The Labouring Classes in Ireland: an Inquiry as to what beneficial changes may be effected in their condition,’ 1846.
- ‘The Village Lesson Book,’ 1855.
- ‘The Agricultural Labourer viewed in his Moral, Intellectual, and Physical Conditions,’ 1855.
- ‘Common Things of Everyday Life,’ 1857.
- ‘The Village Lesson Book for Girls,’ 1859.
- ‘Notes and Gleanings relating to the County of Wexford in its past and present conditions,’ 1868. He edited ‘Extracts from the Letters and Journals of George Fletcher Moore at the Swan River Settlement,’ 1834; translated from the French a selection of the ‘Sermons’ of Adolphe Monod, 1849; and was among the contributors to ‘Tales for all Ages’ by W. H. G. Kingston, S. E. De Morgan, and others, 1863.
In April 1840 he was reported to have nearly completed a work to be called ‘Practical Illustrations of the Parables.’

HICKMAN, CHARLES, D.D. (1648–1713), bishop of Derry, son of William Hickman of Barnack, county of Northampton, gent., born in 1648, became a king's scholar of Westminster School in 1665, and was elected to Christ Church, Oxford, in 1667, proceeding B.A. 1671, M.A. 1674, B.D. 1684, and D.D. 1685. Having taken holy orders he became chaplain to Laurence Hyde [q. v.], earl of Rochester (lord-lieutenant of Ireland 1701–3), to William III and Queen Mary, and to Queen Anne. Hickman was lecturer at St. James's, Westminster, and rector of Burnham, Buckinghamshire, from 1698 to 1702. He was promoted to the see of Derry at Rochester's request, 11 June 1703, but lived chiefly in England, dying at Fulham on 28 Nov. 1713. He was buried in the south aisle, Westminster Abbey. His portrait by Dahl is in the hall at Christ Church. Archbishop William King [q. v.] of Dublin, who preceded Hickman as bishop of Derry, mentions him with some acrimony as one ‘who rooted up and destroyed a large flourishing wood, which I with care and cost had planted whilst at Londonderry.’ Hickman printed at least nine single sermons, a ‘Volume of Fourteen Sermons preacht on Seueral Occasions’ (with portrait), London, 1706, which reached a second edition (1724), and another volume of ‘Twelve Sermons preacht at St. James's, Westminster,’ London, 1713. He married, in April 1703, Anne, daughter of Sir Roger Burgoyne, second baronet, who predeceased him, leaving an only child, Anne.

HICKMAN, FRANCIS (fl. 1690), scholar, born about 1663, was fourth son of Sir William Hickman, bart., of Gainsborough, Lincolnshire, by Elizabeth, daughter of John Nevile of Mattersey, Nottingham. He became a king's scholar at Westminster School in 1676, and proceeded in 1681 to Christ Church, Oxford. In 1685 he graduated B.A., and M.A. in 1688 (Wood, Fasti Oxon. ii. 395, 403). He became a nonjuror in 1688, but did not lose his student's place at Christ Church, because his name happened, Wood says, not to be mentioned in the act of deprivation. In 1693 Hickman delivered the Bodleian oration. The date of his death is unknown. His only known literary remains are two Latin poems in the ‘Musæ Anglicanæ,’ ii. 108–13, upon an exploit of Ormonde in Ireland and upon the death of Charles II. He also co-operated in Atterbury's Latin translation of Dryden's ‘Absolom and Achitophel’ (1682).

HICKMAN, HENRY (d. 1692), controversialist, a native of Worcestershire, was educated at St. Catharine Hall, Cambridge, where he proceeded B.A. At the end of 1647 he entered Magdalen Hall, Oxford, and the next year obtained by favour of the parlia-
