"Most members of the Etymological Society wrote for the Philological Museum and in our effort to get at the community of background outlook and philological interest shared by the influential Cambridge scholars we may briefly consider that publication. Hare who shared the editorship with Thirwell explained in the Preface to the first of the only two volumes that were published that English scholars in the 1820's had contributed little more than a 'mite' to the knowledge of classical antiquity . it became the purpose of the Museum to foster the 'spirit of philological criticism' . Actually the majority of the articles were on classical subjects with Thirwell the most prolific contributor. But the Museum also contained several articles on English and the new philology of which Kemble's 'On English Praeterites and Genitives' was the most important being the first exposition in English of Grimm's analysis of the forms of the verb in Germanic" Aarsleff The Study of Language in England 1780-1860 pp. 219-20.

2009ref. 225925Gottingen - New York: Steidl - Steven Kasher Gallery 2009. Rilegato hardback. Perfetto Mint. A cura di Steven Kasher e Jack von Euw. Testi di Judy Wyatt e Jack von Euw. Fotografie in bianco e nero di Chauncey Hare. Cm 245x30. pp. 374. Perfetto Mint. Prima edizione First Edition. Chauncey Hare ha fatto fotografie molto dettagliate degli interni delle case e dei luoghi di lavoro della classe operaia in tutta l'America fra la fine degli anni '60 e l'inizio degli anni '70. Questo nuovo libro contiene il doppio delle fotografie commoventi inquietanti e spesso sorprendenti che sono apparse nei suoi due libri precedenti Interior America 1977 e This Was Corporate America 1984. Il libro evidenzia la vita di protesta di Hare una vita piena di incredibili coincidenze apprendimento e dolore. Descrive la sua forte identificazione con le persone di cui fotografa le case e la sua irremovibile riluttanza a tradirle vendendo le loro fotografie. Racconta le sue lotte per far accettare le fotografie accompagnate da un testo esplicativo dal mondo dell'arte. Racconta le situazioni di abuso che ha sopportato nella sua infanzia e nella vita lavorativa come ingegnere presso una grande compagnia petrolifera e presso l'Agenzia per la Protezione dell'Ambiente degli Stati Uniti. Chauncey Hare non si definisce un fotografo ma piuttosto un ingegnere un terapeuta familiare e soprattutto un attivista. Finanziato da tre borse di studio Guggenheim e tre borse di studio National Endowment ha dedicato solo un breve periodo della sua vita alla fotografia. Frustrato dal mondo dell'arte ha scattato foto solo sporadicamente fino al 1985 quando ha smesso completamente di fotografare. Nel 2000 diffidando dei musei d'arte Hare ha donato tutte le sue fotografie e i suoi negativi alla Bancroft Library dell'Università della California a Berkeley. Ha conseguito una laurea in ingegneria alla Columbia University un master in belle arti al San Francisco Art Institute un master in sviluppo organizzativo alla Pepperdine University e un master in psicologia clinica alla Sierra University. Insieme alla moglie Judith Wyatt è coautore del manuale clinico Work Abuse: How to Recognize and Survive It 1997 che rompe il tabù dell'abuso sui luoghi di lavoro. In qualità di terapeuta familiare abilitato Hare aiuta ora i lavoratori - di persona al telefono e su Internet - a ridurre al minimo gli abusi che subiscono come dipendenti di aziende e enti pubblici.
