Death of Professor Maurice in London
The Rev Frederick Denison Maurice died Monday morning in London from a faltering heart attack. He was near seventy, a former Unitarian who became a leading Church of England preacher and Cambridge professor of Moral Philosophy from 1866. Born about 1805, he studied at Trinity College and Trinity Hall, Cambridge, and later Oxford and Exeter College, earning a BA in 1831. He edited the Atheneum briefly and helped educate working men with Charles Kingsley. He authored many lectures and sermons and was influential despite controversy over eternal punishment.
