This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Patrick Hues Mell was an American clergyman, teacher, and author.
Background
Patrick Hues Mell born on July 19, 1814 in Walthourville, Liberty County, Georgia. He was the eldest surviving son in a family of eight children. His father was Benjamin Mell, whose ancestors were among the early settlers of Charleston, South Carolina, and his mother, Cynthia Sumner, a descendant of New England Puritans who went to Georgia in the migration of 1754. When Patrick was still in his teens, both his parents died.
Education
The estate having been lost on a surety bond, Mell was obliged to provide for the family. Having received some educational training before the death of his father, he continued his schooling at the academies of Walthourville and of Darien, teaching in the primary department to pay his tuition. His industry attracted the attention of George Walthour, who provided funds for his education at Amherst College, and Mell enrolled there in 1833. His independent disposition caused him to accept this financial aid with reluctance, and disagreement over his expenses together with a distaste for some of his instructors caused him to leave college in 1835.
Career
Mell found a teaching position in a West Springfield school and in 1836 became associate principal of the high school in East Hartford, Connecticut In 1837 he returned to Georgia and was thereafter identified with that state. For two years he taught successively at Perry's Mill in Tatnall County and at Ryall's in Montgomery County. From 1839 to 1841 he was the principal of a classical and English school at Oxford. He had joined the Baptist Church in 1832, abandoning an inclination to study law, and in October 1839 he received a license to preach. He now began preaching to the destitute congregations in the countryside. In 1841 he was elected professor of ancient languages at Mercer College, an institution which the Baptists had established a few years previously at Penfield, and he continued in this position for fourteen years. Following a rather common practice of teaching and preaching at the same time, he was ordained Nov. 19, 1842, and took charge of the Baptist congregation at Greensboro. After serving this congregation for ten years, he accepted calls from two churches, one at Bairdstown and the other at Antioch, continuing his ministry to the latter for twenty-six years. At Mercer College, a conflict developed between him and the president on the question of the respective rights and duties of each, which resulted in his forced resignation. Much bitterness resulted which a faction of the Baptists long kept alive. By this time Mell's influence had become so widespread that he was offered various pastorates in the state and the presidency of several Baptist colleges. In 1856 he accepted the professorship of ancient languages at the University of Georgia, Athens, and when in 1860, the University was reorganized with a chancellor and vice-chancellor at its head, he accepted the latter position. At the same time, he was transferred to the professorship of ethics and metaphysics. He remained vice-chancellor until 1872 when the office was abolished, but retained his professorship for the rest of his life. At the outbreak of the Civil War, he was made the captain of a company known as the Mell Rifles. Because of the death of his wife on July 6 following, he resigned; but in 1863, when the state was in danger of invasion from the Tennessee border, he raised a regiment, made up in part of students and professors of the university, and became its colonel. He remained in the service until the end of the war. His strenuous work as teacher and preacher broke down his health in 1871 and it was not fully restored until after a trip to Europe two years later. In 1878 he was elected chancellor of the university, which position he held until his death.
Mell was an able educator and a strict disciplinarian, erect in figure, austere in manner, independent in disposition, reserved and distant generally, though courteous and punctilious. As a preacher, he was powerful though not eloquent, and as a parliamentarian, he was unequaled in the state.
Connections
Mell was married twice: first, June 29, 1840, to Lurene Howard Cooper of Montgomery County, who died July 6, 1861, and by whom there were eight children, one of whom was Patrick Hues Mell, 1850-1890; second, December 24, 1861, to Eliza Elizabeth Cooper of Scriven County, who bore him six children.
