in New York City – April

29, 1908) was an American Episcopal Church priest, theologian, and religious author. Dix was born on November 1,

1827 in New York City. He was the son of Catherine Morgan, the adopted daughter

of Congressman John J. Morgan (1770-1849),

and Major General John Adams Dix (1798-1879), U.S. Senator from New York (from 1845–1849), Secretary of

the Treasury (from January–March 1861), Governor of New York (from

1873–1874) and Union major general during

the Civil War. His father was

notable for arresting six members of the pro-Southern Maryland legislature, preventing

that divided border state from seceding, and for arranging a system for prisoner

exchange via the Dix–Hill Cartel, concluded

in partnership with Confederate Major General Daniel Harvey Hill. Dix

was educated at Columbia

College and the General Theological

Seminary. For almost fifty-three years, he was identified with Trinity Church, New York,

of which he became assistant minister in 1855 and rector in 1862. As

well as being a very active churchman, Dix also wrote widely about the practice

of Christianity. Among his

major works are Commentaries on Romans and on Galatians and Colossians; The Calling of

a Christian Woman; The Seven Deadly Sins; The Sacramental System; and Lectures

on the First Prayer-Book of Edward VI.Louis

Harmon Peet.[ He objected to the entrance of girls into

universities, because it was not "proper for young women to be exposed to

the gaze of young men, many of whom were less bent upon learning than upon

amusement." He was an hereditary companion of the Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States. In

1880, he was subject to a sinister hoax that stretched over several months and

became the subject of much comment in the New York City newspapers of the time. The

arrest of the hoaxer (who was subsequently given a prison sentence) ended the

incident.
