Hare.

Hare. JULIUS CHARLES, one of the chief early leaders of the Broad Church party, was born near Vicenza, in Italy, September 13, 1795. He spent part of his boyhood in Germany, and after his return was sent to the Charterhouse, from which in 1812 he passed to Trinity College, Cambridge. Here he was elected to a fellowship in 1818, and afterwards became classical lecturer. He tried the study of law, but soon abandoned it, took orders in 1826, and succeeded his uncle in the rich family living of Hurstmonceaux, Sussex, in 1832. He gathered round him a fine library of 12,000 volumes, and numbered among his friends Landor, Maurice, Bunsen, and others of the greatest spiritual teachers of his time. He had John Sterling as his curate (1834-35), and married in 1844 Esther Maurice, sister of Frederick Maurice. He became Archdeacon of Lewes in 1840, in 1853 chaplain to the Queen, and died January 23, 1855. His annual charges are among the most important sources for a study of the ecclesiastical controversies of his time. Another great service that he did was to awaken Englishmen to the fact that they had much to learn in theology from Germany. His style is cumbrous, and his books gain nothing from their orthographical peculiarities. Already in 1820 he had translated Fouqué's Sintram, when in 1827 he published anonymously Guesses at Truth, written in conjunction with his brother Augustus. His next work was the translation of Niebuhr's History of Rome (1828-32) in collaboration with Thirlwall, and his own Vindication of Niebuhr's History (1829). His most important contributions to theology are The Victory of Faith (1840) and The Mission of the Comforter (1846), two series of elaborate sermons preached at Cambridge. In 1848 he edited the Remains of John Sterling, with a life, a strong sense of the inadequacy of which inspired Carlyle's masterpiece. Other books are Parish Sermons (2 vols. 1841-49) and a Vindication of Luther against his Recent English Assaults (1854). See his nephew's Memorials of a Quiet Life.—His elder but less important brother, AUGUSTUS WILLIAM HARE, was born in 1792, and educated at Winchester and New College, Oxford, where he became a Fellow in due course. He was appointed in 1829 to the retired living of Alton Barnes, in Wiltshire, married in 1829 the gifted Maria Leycester (1798-1870), and died prematurely at Rome in 1834. Besides his share in the Guesses at Truth, he left fifty-six sermons to be published in two volumes in 1837.—AUGUSTUS JOHN CUTHBERT HARE, nephew of the two preceding, was born at Rome in 1834, and was educated at Harrow and at University College, Oxford. He has written a series of good descriptive books revealing fine artistic taste and wide knowledge of history and antiquities. Amongst these are Walks in Rome (1871), Wanderings in Spain (1873), Days near Rome (1875), Cities of Northern and Central Italy (1876), Walks in London (1878; new ed. 1894), Cities of Southern Italy and Sicily (1883), Holland and Scandinavia (1885), Studies in Russia (1885), Paris and Days near Paris (1887), South-Eastern France and South-Western France (1890), Sussex (1894), &c. Other works are his delightful biography of Maria Hare, Memorials of a Quiet Life (1872-76); the Life and Letters of Baroness Bunsen (1879), Two Noble Lives (1893), and The Gurneys of Earlham (1895). See his autobiography (1896).
