MR. AUGUSTUS HARE.
Mr. Augustus J. C. Hare, the well-known author, whose death was announced in yesterday's DAILY GRAPHIC, was born in Rome in 1834. He was a son of the late Francis George Hare, and a representative of the family of Hare, of Hurstmonceaux, Sussex. He spent a great portion of his life in southern Europe, and to his taste for travel we are indebted for such famous and popular works as Wanderings in Spain and Walks in Rome, and his many other interesting books on European cities. His best known writings include The Story of Two Noble Lives and Memorials of a Quiet Life. The funeral will take place at Hurstmonceaux Church on Monday next at three o'clock. A train will leave Charing Cross for Warrior Square, St Leonards, at 9.3 a.m.
