MAURICE, Rev. JOHN FREDERICK DENISON, 

 a popular clergyman of the Church of England, 

 and author, born about 1805; died in London, 

 April 1, 1872. He was the son of a Unitarian 

 clergyman, and entered Trinity College, Cam- 

 bridge, at an early age. Here he formed an 

 intimacy with John Sterling, afterward distin- 

 guished as a scholar and author, and the mutual 

 attachment was subsequently strengthened by 

 their marrying two sisters. Not being able 

 to subscribe to the Thirty-nine Articles, Mr. 

 Maurice did not obtain a Fellowship, and left 

 Cambridge before going up for his degree, but 

 afterward became a member of the Church of 

 England, and entered his name on the books 

 of Exeter College, Oxford, where he took his 

 degree of B. A. in 1831. He was appointed 

 Chaplain and Reader at Lincoln's Inn, and be- 

 came a Theological Professor in King's College, 

 London, in 1846, retired from the latter a few 

 years ago, in consequence of an outcry against 

 his religious opinions as to the eternity of 

 future punishment, and became incumbent of 

 St. Peter's Chapel, Vere Street, Marylebone. 

 Between the interval of leaving Cambridge and 

 visiting Oxford, he was for a short period 

 editor of the Athenaum., and about the time 

 that he took his degree he wrote a novel called 

 "Eustace Conway." His efforts, in connection 

 with the Rev. Charles Kingsley and others, 

 toward assisting the education of working- 

 men, are well known. He wrote many vol- 

 umes of lectures, sermons, theological essays, 

 together with other works; the more impor- 

 tant of his labors being "Learning and Work- 

 ing," six lectures, published in 1855 ; and " The 

 Religion of Rome," four lectures, delivered in 

 1854, at the Philosophical Institution of Edin-
