Excerpt from Edwin Paxton Hood, Poet and Preacher: A Memorial
Dxvin paxton hood was born in Half Moon Street, Piccadilly, October 24, 1820, and was the son of a naval officer who had served, through all the Nelson victories, in the old Témémire. He entered life in the same year as Baldwin Brown (whom he closely resembled in several notable respects), and closed it, or, shall we say, emerged into its fuller and completer development, just a year after his life-long friend; a singular coincidence in the closing hours of the two men being that both were suddenly summoned to their rest just as they were making their final preparations for the summer holiday, and the goal of both being Switzerland.
