- catalog description "Stephen Sewall (1733/4-1804), the first Hancock Professor of Hebrew and other Oriental Languages at Harvard College, was considered one of the most accomplished scholars in North America in the late 1700s. Sewall was born on March 24, 1733/4 in York, Maine. He received an AB from Harvard in 1761 and an AM in 1764. On October 6, 1761, Sewall was appointed Harvard's Hebrew instructor and less than four years later was named the first Hancock Professor of Hebrew and other Oriental Languages on June 19, 1765. In 1763, Sewall's Hebrew Grammar, printed by R. and S. Draper, became the second Hebrew grammar printed in America. He was an active member of the Cambridge community, and was elected a deacon of the First Church of Cambridge in 1777. Following the death of his wife in 1783, Sewall's issues with alcoholism became public, and in 1785 the Board of Overseers removed him from his professorship at the College. In his later years, Sewall published four volumes based on his linguistic research. Sewall died on July 23, 1804.".
