HOOGHEVEEN, HEINRICH, a Dutch scholar and philologist of considerable note, was born at Leyden in 1712. His parents, who were miserably poor, were hardly able to send him to the school of his native town, and when at length they procured the means their son made at first little or no progress in his studies, chiefly, it was believed, through the severity of his teacher. A change of masters, however, developed his latent abilities, and he soon distinguished himself so much that at the early age of twenty he was made co-rector of the school of Gorcum. In the following year he was called to organize the gymnasium of Woerden, which, despite his youth, he brought to a high state of prosperity. From Woerden he was transferred to Breda, and from Breda to Dordrecht, and at length found a permanent abode in Delft, where he died in 1791. His best work is a treatise on the Greek Particles, Leyden, 1769 (of which an excellent abridgment was published by Schütz, Leipzig, 1806), and his edition of Vigiers' work on Greek Idioms, which has been several times reprinted. Hoogheveen also wrote a large number of odes and elegies in Latin, in which kind of composition he had great facility and no mean talent. None of these works, however, display either high scholarship or very refined taste. Perhaps his most useful contribution to literature is in his Dictionarium Analogicum Linguae Graecae, published at Cambridge in 1800. The value of this Lexicon is that all Greek words with the same termination follow each other in alphabetical order according to their final letters—a very convenient arrangement for conveniently tracing etymological analogies.
