EGAN, Maurice Francis, author, born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 24 May 1852. He was graduated from La Salle College, and in 1878 became professor of English literature in Georgetown College. On leaving Georgetown he studied law for a time, but finally became a journalist. He edited "McGee's Illustrated Weekly," which, while under his management, was highly successful. After his connection with this newspaper had ceased he traveled through the western and southern states and Mexico, and embodied his observations of those countries in magazine articles and letters to the press. On his return he became an editor of the "Catholic Review," and in 1881 of the "Freeman's Journal," of which he is now editor-in-chief (1887). He has published "That Girl of Mine," and several other anonymous novels (1879); "Preludes," a collection of his poems that had appeared in various magazines (1880); "Songs and Sonnets" (London, 1885); "The Theatre and Christian Parents" (1885); "Stories of Duty" (1885);" A Garden of Roses " (1886); and "The Life around Us," a collection of tales, with a strong religious tendency (1886).
