Joshua Hall McIlvaine (1815–1897) was an American clergyman known for his work in philology and orientalism. McIlvaine was born in Lewes, Delaware, 4 March, 1815. McIlvaine graduated from Princeton in 1837 and from the theological seminary there in 1840. He then pastored successively of Presbyterian churches at Little Falls, Utica, and Rochester, New York. From 1860-1870 he was professor of belles-lettres at Princeton. From 1870-1874 he was pastor of the High Street church in Newark, New Jersey. While at Rochester, he opposed evangelist Charles Finney, but changed his mind when he saw the results that followed Finney's evangelistic work (Wright, 1891). In 1859 he delivered a course of six lectures before the Smithsonian Institution on comparative philology in relation to ethnology, including an analysis of the structure of the Sanskrit language, and the process of deciphering cuneiform inscriptions. In 1869 he delivered a course on social science in Philadelphia under the auspices of the University of Pennsylvania (Appleton's, 1889). McIlvaine was a member of the American oriental society, and in 1854 the University of Rochester, New York awarded him the degree of D.D. (Appleton's, 1889). In 1887 he founded Evelyn College for Women at Princeton, New Jersey. Rumors of sexual scandal (unrelated to him) forced its closure shortly after his death (Evelyn College, 2015). He wrote many religious and scientific articles. ==Notable publications== *Elocution, the Sources and Elements of its Power (1870) *(Nation's Right to Worship God, A.
