* HULL. 303 HULSEAN LECTTJEES. General Brock, he surrendered without making any real attempt at resistance. A general out- cry was raised against Hull, and finally, on March 26, 1S14, a court-martial, assembled at Albany, X. Y., sentenced him to be shot. This sentence was approved by President Madison, who, however, remitted the punishment. There has since been much controversj- over Hull's case, but it is now pretty generally agreed by histo- rians that though he surrendered with unsoldier- ly alacrity, and might possibly have preserved De- troit and his army altogether, the blame for his surrender must rest fully as much with the Ad- ministration as with himself. Consult: Hull, De- fense of lirigadier-deneial Uull, xcith an Ad- dress to the People of the United States (Bos- ton, 1814) ; Forbes, Report of the Trial of Briga- dier-General Hull (New York, 1814); and the somewhat biased Revolutionary Services and Civil Li/e of Gen.

An Eng- lish musical composer, teacher, conductor, and lecturer. He studied the organ and piano under '. Horsley, and singing under Crivelli at the Royal Academj" of Music. He was one of the most important factors in modern English mu- sical life, and accomplished more for the cause of music among the masses than any other English musician of the century. In 1840, while pur- suing his studies in Paris, he was much im- pressed with the French system of tuition, and upon his return to London in 1841 prevailed upon the national education committee to permit him to use a modification of it in his singing school for schoolmasters, which he inaugurated at Exeter Hall. His ideas and reforms met with determined opposition from th-.> very beginning, but notwithstanding it is recorded that in the twenty years from 1840 to 18t>0 over 2.5.000 people availed themselves of the advantage of his classes. In 1847 his pupils and friends built and presented to him a building known as Saint Martin's Hall, in which his pupils could give their public performances. He held appointments as professor of singing at Kings. Queens, and Bed- ford colleges, and succeeded Horslev, in 1858. as organist of Charter' House. From 1870 to 1873 he led the Royal Academy concerts, and for several years conducted the annual concert of the metro- politan school-children, held at the Crystal Palace. In 1872 he was appointed Government inspector of training schools. Besides three operas, which have hut a local significance, he was the composer of many successful and widely known part-songs, motets, anthems, and songs. His published writings cover every phase of mu- sical art and aesthetics, and include: .4 Grammar of Vocal Music (184.3) ; .4 Grammar of ifusical Harmony (1852); A Grammar of Counterpoint (lSfi4» ; The History of Modern Music (1862) ; The Third or Transition Period of Musical His- tory (18G5): The Cultiration of the Speaking Toicc (1S70); Music in the House (1877).

HTTLL HOTISE. . social settlement, situ- ated at 33.i South Halsted Street. Chicago. It has been a leader in the social settlement move- ment in the United States. The old residence of Charles J. Hull, used as a junk-shop and tene- ment-house in the midst of a foreign and poverty- stricken population, was repaired, beautified, and opened as a settlement in 1889 by iliss Jane Addanis (q.v.) and ^liss Ellen Starr. All the usual features of a settlement are maintained: new buildings have been added, including a coffee- house, a children's building, and a gymnasium. The distinctive features are its attractive build- ings, its close connection with the life of the Nineteenth Ward and with social work in Chi- cago, its large constituency, and the broad inter- ests of its residents, who have held State or city offices such as factorj- ins[)ector3 or street in- spectors, or who have been students conducting special investigations.
