Stephen Addington D.D. 1729 1796, was a dissenting clergyman of considerable learning. His longest appointment was as minister of a congregation of dissenters in Leicestershire. He was highly popular to his increasing congregation by the pious discharge of his pastoral duties, and by his conciliatory manners. In 1758 he opened his house for the reception of pupils to fill up a vacancy in the neighbourhood of Harborough. This scheme succeeded; and for many years he devoted nine hours each day to the instruction of his pupils, and compiled several books for their improvement. In 1781 he received an invitation to become pastor of the congregation in Miles's-lane, Cannon Street, and became tutor of a new dissenting academy at Mile End. During Addingtons lifetime, he published a number of educational textbooks, and the occasional sermon and tract. His most popular work was The Life of St. Paul the Apostle.
