DESCRIPTION
Hugh James Rose (9 June 1795 – 22 December 1838) was an English churchman and theologian who served as the second Principal of King's College London. In 1833–1834 he was professor of divinity at the University of Durham, a post which ill-health forced him to resign. In 1836 he became editor of the Encyclopædia Metropolitana, and he projected the New General Biographical Dictionary, a scheme carried through by his brother Henry John Rose (1800–1873).
