Hugh James Rose (1795–1838) was an English

Principal of King's College, London
.

Life

Rose was born at

Cambridge Union Society for the Michaelmas term of[citation needed] 1817.[5] Having been ordained to the diaconate in 1818, he was appointed to a cure in Buxted, Sussex, in 1819.[6] He married Anne Cuyler and was priested later that year.[1] In 1821, he was appointed to the vicarage of Horsham, Sussex.[6]

After travelling in Germany, Rose delivered as select preacher at Cambridge, four addresses against rationalism.[4] In 1827 he was collated to the prebend of Middleton, which he held until 1833.[7] In 1830 he accepted the rectory of Hadleigh, Suffolk, and in 1833 that of Fairsted, Essex, and in 1835 the perpetual curacy of St Thomas's, Southwark.[4] Rose was a high churchman, who to propagate his views in 1832 founded the British Magazine and so came into touch with the leaders of the Oxford Movement.[4] Out of a conference at his rectory in Hadleigh, Suffolk came the Association of Friends of the Church, formed by Hurrell Froude and William Palmer.[4]

In 1833–1834 Rose was professor of divinity at the

King's College, London, in October 1836, but was attacked by influenza, and after two years of ill-health he died in Florence, Italy, on 22 December 1838.[4] He is buried in the English Cemetery
, Florence, his name in the register given as "Ugo Giacomo Rose", his Scipio tomb having a lengthy epitaph in Latin. Rose's library was sold at auction in London by R. H. Evans on 28 February 1839 (and five following days); a copy of the catalogue is held at Cambridge University Library (shelfmark Munby.c.145(1)).

Works

Rose published in 1825 as The State of the Protestant Religion in Germany. The book was severely criticized in Germany, and in England by

Henry John Rose
(1800–1873).
