Augustus William Hare

Augustus William Hare (17 November 1792 – 22 January 1834, Rome) was the son of Francis Hare-Naylor. He was the author of a history of Germany.[1]

He was sent by the widow of Sir W. Jones, whose godson he was, to Winchester College, and New College, Oxford, in the latter of which he was for some time a tutor.[1] With his brother Julius, Hare wrote Guesses at Truth,[2] an "influential miscellany" of essays.[3]

Entering the Church he became incumbent of the rural parish of Alton Barnes during the last three years of this life.[1] While there, he wrote at least two volumes of sermons,[1] which were published posthumously by his brother Julius.[4] He died in Rome in 1834, the same year his nephew and namesake, Augustus Hare, was born.[5]
