HATVERNICK, HEIN. ANDR. CHRIST., was born in 1805, at Kroplin, in Mecklenburg, and died at Konigsberg in 1845. He studied theology first at Halle, but having been involved in the troubles which disturbed that university in consequence of the prosecution for anti - Christianism brought against Wegscheider and Gesenius, the evidence in support of which was chiefly supplied from the notes of Havemick and Rehrkorn, he left Halle and completed his course at Berlin, where he attached himself closely to Hengstenberg. In 1833 he became a teacher in the theological school at Geneva ; in 1834 he went to Rostock, where he taught theology first as a pi-ivatini docens, after wards as one of the extraordinary professors ; and in 1840 he was appointed ordinary professor at Konigsberg. His works are—Commentar fiber das B. Daniel, Hamb. 1833 ; Melanges de Theologie reformee, 2 parts, Gen. 1833-9 (in conjunction with Steiger) ; Hana'buch der Histar. Ein/eit. in d. A. T., Erlang. 1836-1844, 2 VO1S. in 4 parts (un finished) ; Neue Untersuchungen iiber d. E. Daniel, flamb. 1838 ; Commentar iiber d. Proph. Ezechiel,Eslang. 1843; Vorlesungen fiber die Theo loqie das A. T. (published after his death by Dr.
H. A. Hahn), Erlang. 1848. Of his Einleitung, two portions—the General Introduction to the O. T., and the Introduction to the Pentateuch—have been translated into English, and form part of Clark's Foreign Theol. Library-. Havernick also contributed several articles to this Cyclopxdia. He was a great scholar, who never tired in the pursuit of knowledge, and w-ore himself out pre maturely by his excessive labour as a student, a teacher, and a writer. He \vas withal one of the honestest of men—a little too open and outspoken, perhaps, for his own personal ease ; but impress ing all who came near him with a sense of his sincerity, earnestness, and zeal for truth. His ser vices to the cause of evangelical tmth in Germany were great ; and his works will long remain a storehouse of sound learning- and candid reasoning, to attest his eminent abilities and attainments, and to suggest what might have been expected from his diligence, learning, and scientific precision had his life been prolonged.—W.
