Hardt was a genuine admirer and earnest student of the great classical and Oriental scholars. His literary activity resulted in the compilation of over 300 books, pamphlets, and treatises — most of them in advance of his contemporaries. His collection of manuscripts on the Reformation, Antiqua literarum monumenta, autographa Lutheri aliorumque celebriorum rirorum 1517-1546 (3 vols., Brunswick, 1690- 1693), and on the Councils of Basel and Constance, Magnum oecumenicum Constantiense concilium (6 vols., Frankfort, 1700-02), are still valuable because of his diligent use of the principal archives.

HARE, AUGUSTUS WILLIAM: Church of England; b. in Rome Nov. 17, 1792; d. there Feb. 18, 1834. At the age of five he was adopted by his aunt, the widow of Sir William Jones, and was brought up in her home near Basingstoke, Hampshire. He attended Winchester College and New College, Oxford, and in 1818, after a long visit to Italy, returned to the latter college as tutor. He incurred his aunt's displeasure by declining to qualify for the rich family living of Hurstmonceaux, but he received ordination in 1825, and in 1829 became rector of the small country parish of Alton- Barnes. In 1833 failing health drove him to Italy. By his plain and fervent preaching and unselfish devotion to his duties he won the hearts of the people, and came to be justly regarded as a model rural clergyman. His important works are: Guesses at Truth (London, 1827), in collaboration with his brother, Julius Charles Hare (q.v.); and Sermons to a Country Congregation (2 vols., 1836), which have been widely read and often reprinted as The Alton Sermons.
