Thomas Hodgkin is generally famous for the discovery of a lymphoma in 1837, but not for his remarkable relationship as physician and friend with the philanthropist, Sir Moses Montefiore (1784-1885), and their six shared journeys to Europe, the Near East and North Africa to alleviate the plight of religious and ethnic minorities. Also less well known are Hodgkin's humanitarian activities, inspired by his being a Quaker: his assistance of freed slaves, and his involvement in the movement for the abolition of capital punishment and in mental hospital and prison reform. His wide range of scientific interests included medical education, geography, ethnology and social anthropology. He is buried in Jaffa, Israel, where he died of dysentery while on a trip with Montefiore.
托马斯·霍奇金通常因在1837年发现一种淋巴瘤而闻名，但他作为医生和朋友与慈善家摩西·蒙特菲奥里爵士（1784 - 1885）之间非凡的关系，以及他们共同六次前往欧洲、近东和北非以缓解宗教和少数族裔困境的旅程却鲜为人知。同样不太为人所知的是霍奇金受其贵格会教徒身份启发而开展的人道主义活动：他对获得自由的奴隶的援助，以及他参与废除死刑运动、精神病院和监狱改革。他广泛的科学兴趣包括医学教育、地理、民族学和社会人类学。他葬于以色列的雅法，他在与蒙特菲奥里旅行期间死于痢疾。
