London: Geoffrey Cumberlege / Oxford University Press, 1953. 1st edition. Sir John Hawkins (1719-1789) seems to have been " a man of considerable public spirit and certainly a hard and conscientious worker. What he reallly lacked, perhaps, was a sense of humanity (of being a unit in the suffering human family) and a sense of humor - for it is rare to hear of Hawkins making a joke?"
