He was an intense Protestant of the Anglican type, an ardent hater of France, and an enthusiastic believer in the high destiny of England. When Quebec was taken, Dobbs proclaimed a day of Solemn Thanksgiving, and composed a hymn to be sung throughout the province. He has been, he says in a letter to Pitt, enclosing the hymn.

Dobbs died in 1765.
