“GUESSES AT TRUTH,” a series of charming essays by Julius Charles and Augustus William Hare, was published as their joint work in 1827. The authors were brothers and both clergymen of the Church of England. Julius Charles Hare, who became Archdeacon of Lewes in 1840, was celebrated as a pulpit orator and as the author of several books on divinity and ecclesiastical subjects. His sermons often present examples of melodious “concords of sweet sounds,” which make them almost unique in the pulpit oratory of the English language. “Guesses at Truth,” however, is the work by which he is best remembered.
