FREDERICK DENISON MAURICE, professor of English Literature and History in King’s College, and afterwards of Moral Philosophy at Cambridge, was born in England in 1805. He studied both at Cambridge and Oxford, and began life as a curate in the Church of England. His most notable work, however, was done in literature and in education. He held the chair of Theology, as well as of Literature, at King’s College. Queen’s College was founded by him, and he was also largely instrumental in founding the Workingmen’s College of London. He became professor of Moral Philosophy at Cambridge in 1866, and died in 1872. Besides his essays he wrote a number of philosophical works and treatises.
