Thomas's, Dublin, but, being threatened with See also:consumption, went after two years to See also:Malaga
.
On his return he took a curacy at See also:Bath, and was speedily appointed to the Octagon See also:Chapel, where his fame both as preacher and See also:platform See also:speaker continued to spread
.
Some years afterwards he was made See also:prebendary of See also:Wells Cathedral
.
In 186o the delicate See also:state of his healthcaused him to accept the living of See also:Enniskillen
.
In 1864 he was made See also:dean of Cork and See also:chaplain to the See also:lord See also:lieutenant
.
Here he manifested those See also:great gifts which ultimately raised him to high See also:- OFFICE (from Lat. officium, " duty," " service," a shortened form of opifacium, from facere, " to do," and either the stem of opes, " wealth," " aid," or opus, " work ")
office; a powerful grasp of See also:mental, moral and See also:political problems, combined with eloquence of a high See also:- ORDER

Church came to the front, and Magee threw himself into the task of its See also:defence with his usual See also:energy and vivacity
.
The success of his orations caused Disraeli to offer him the bishopric of See also:Peterborough
.
He justified his See also:appointment by his magnificent speech when the Disestablishment See also:Bill reached the See also:House of Lords in 1869, and then plunged into diocesan and See also:general See also:work in See also:England
.
He preached three remarkable sermons on See also:Christian See also:Evidence in See also:Norwich Cathedral in 1871
.
He took up the See also:temperance question, and declared in the House of Lords that he would rather see "England See also:free than England compulsorily sober," an utterance which the extreme See also:advocates of See also:total See also:abstinence misquoted and attacked
.
He was also a supporter of the See also:movement for abolishing the recitation of the Athanasian Creed in the public services of the Church of England, believing, as he said, that the " presence " of the damnatory clauses, " as they stand and where they stand, is a real peril to the Church and to See also:Christianity itself," and that those clauses " are no essential See also:part " of the' creed
.
The project was laid aside in consequence of the hostility of a large See also:body of the See also:clergy, reinforced by the See also:threat of Dr See also:Pusey and See also:Canon See also:Liddon to abandon their offices if it were carried
.
Magee took a prominent part in the See also:Ritual controversy, opposing what he conceived to be romanizing excess in ritual, as well as the endeavour of the opposite party to " put down Ritualism," as Disraeli expressed it, by the operation of the See also:civil See also:law
.
His incisive way of putting things earned for him the See also:title of the "Militant See also:Bishop," but, as he himself remarked in, relation to this title; his efforts were ever for See also:peace
.
Unfortunately for the Church, he was not elevated to the see of York until his energies were exhausted
.
He died on the 5th of May 1891, about four months after his appointment
