About this Item
Description:
Two broadsides, 370 x 250 mm. and 330 x 190 mm. on blue paper, portrait 270 x 170 mm. Rev. Robert Maguire D. D. [1826â "1890] was born in Dublin, Ireland. He graduated with honours from Trinity College, Dublin. He was a Rector at St. James, Clerkenwell and then St. Olave, Southwark. He was an evangelical, a temperance worker, and a very popular speaker. He wrote many books including The Miracles of Christ, Lyra Evangelica: Hymns Original and Selected and Expository Lectures on The Pilgrims Progress. In 1856 a vacancy occurred in the incumbency of St James Clerkenwell. The parish was unusual in that the parishioners had the right of electing the vicar. Maguire was chosen but this proved controversial, and following court proceedings a second poll was held in 1857, with Maguire again chosen. He remained vicar of Clerkenwell until 1875 when he became rector of St Olave's, Southwark, a post he held until his death. Seller Inventory # 45796
