==Life==
He was born at Shipston-on-Stour, and was educated partly at a Quaker school at Worcester, and partly by his uncle, Thomas Hodgkin, a successful private tutor in London, who invited his nephew to follow his profession. Thomas Hodgkin accepted an offer from David Barclay of Youngsbury to become headmaster of Ackworth School in Yorkshire; and at age 15 John Hodgkin went there as assistant for a year. In 1787 he joined Thomas Young in superintending the education of Hudson Gurney, Barclay's grandson; the two were resident tutors, at Youngsbury and elsewhere.〔Kass, Amalie M. and Kass, Edward H. (1988) ''Perfecting the World: The life and times of Dr. Thomas Hodgkin, 1798–1866''. Harcourt. ISBN 0151717001. pp. xxii–xxiii.〕 In combination they forming a successful study group and friendship. The two tutors seem to have given each other mutual instruction for four years, and tutors and pupil remained warm friends through life.
In 1792 Hodgkin spent some months at Vincennes in France. He returned to England, and soon became well known as a private tutor. His pupils were mainly ladies belonging to the families of wealthy citizens in the environs of London. These he instructed in the classics and mathematics, but especially in the art of handwriting.
Hodgkin resided for some years at Pentonville, London, and then moved to Tottenham, where he died in August 1845.
