Dr. Hort falls under the influence of<br />

Maurice, Coleridge, Winer, and Comte<br />

Hort writes to Dr. Harold Brown, (Bishop of<br />

Eli), November 8, 1871:<br />

“Moreover, Mr. Maurice has been a dear friend<br />

of mine for twenty-three years, and I have been<br />

deeply influenced by his books.”[11]<br />

Frederick Maurice, the son of a Unitarian<br />

minister, and brilliant student at Oxford and<br />

Cambridge Universities, became a clergyman in<br />

the Church of England. He had a commanding<br />

influence upon the leaders of his day, especially<br />

upon Dr. Hort. Maurice was dismissed from his<br />

position as principal of King’s College, London, on<br />

charges of heresy.<br />

Hort’s son says of his father:<br />

“In undergraduate days, if not before, he came<br />

under the spell of Coleridge.”[12]<br />
