Dez. 1866, studierte 1807 bis 1811 am Trinity College in Dublin und wurde 1825 zum Rektor zu Killyleagh in der Grafschaft Down ernannt. Anfangs dem Studium der Hieroglyphen ergeben, wurde H. durch die Entdeckung von Ninive zur Entzifferung der assyrischen Keilschriften angeregt und hat auf diesem Gebiet seit 1846 in bahnbrechender Weise gewirkt.
