The Rev. EDWARD HARE was born in this 

 town, on the 19th September, 1774; he was the 

 son of a respectable tallow-chandler, who placed 

 him, at an early age, under the care of the late 

 Rev. Joseph Milner. On finishing his school 

 education he entered upon a seafaring life, but 

 this he afterwards quitted ; and in 1 798 he be- 

 came a preacher among the Wesley an Methodists. 

 His published works, which are numerous, are 

 particularized in the memoir of his life, by the 

 Rev. Joseph Benson, prefixed to a posthumous 

 work of our author, entitled " Pulpit Remains, 

 " being the substance of several sermons delivered 

 " by the late Rev. Edward Hare, carefully pub- 

 lished from his MSS." Mr. Hare's chief 

 production, of which a second edition was called 

 for after his death, came out in parts, during the 

 author's residence at Manchester, and was pub- 

 lished there in 1814, under the title of " A Pre- 

 " servative against the Errors of Socinianism ; 

 " in answer to the Rev. John Grundy's Lectures
