John Duke Coleridge, 1st Baron Coleridge's copy with his name on the front free endpaper. John Hymers (1803 - 1887) was a mathematician and tutor at St John's College Cambridge before being ordained a priest in 1834. In 1848 he was elected president of St John’s College but, reportedly disillusioned with university life, resigned the headship in 1852 to take up the rectory of Brandesburton in Holderness, in the East Riding of Yorkshire, to which he was presented by his college. He spent the last thirty-five years of his life at Brandesburton. He was appointed JP for the East Riding in 1857, and his decisions as a magistrate were noted for their precision. By his will of 24 August 1885, he bequeathed some of his property to the mayor and corporation of Hull, to provide for the foundation of a grammar school, 'for the training of intelligence in whatever social rank of life it may be found among the vast and varied population of the Town'. An obscurity in the wording of the will rendered the bequest invalid, but his heir, his brother Robert Hymers, voluntarily granted the sum of £50,000 for the establishment of Hymers College, Hull, which opened in 1893.

London for the Author. 1833. pp. (ii), ix, 300. 12mo. Original cloth somewhat faded and slightly frayed. Printed in Louth by J & J Jackson. The Preface states ' In this volume, which is submitted to the unprejudiced, we have edeavoured to show how practical and easy Moral Culture becomes, when the real nature of man is understood. It is the peculiar duty of those who frame the laws of a country, and of those who administer them for the preservation of society, to adopt such a system of mental philosophy as will enable them to ascertain what number of the primitive faculties are connate, and also to distinguish between their uses and their abused states. This knowledge, indeed, would give incalculable advantages to all who influence society, and particularly to the Parent and Teacher: it would enable them to discriminate those excesses of the feelings which result from mis-directed or neglected education, and demonstrate the circumstances most favourable to give a moral and intellectual bias to the character of the rising generation. The fundamental truths of this science of mind are briefly stated in the first part of this work, and their pracrtical application in the second; and the author hopes that a candid perusal of both parts will prove their value in developing and training the mental faculties'.
