At Richmond, John Moore, M. D. born at Stirling, 1730, where his father, the Rev. Charles M. a refpectable clergyman of the Established Church, was one of the minifters, and died 1735, when his widow removed with her infant fon to her native city of Glasgow, and fuperintended his education, being a woman of great strength of understanding, difcretion, and piety. He was matriculated at the univerfity, and, being defigned for the medical profeffion, was placed under the care of Dr. Gordon, an eminent practitioner of that day both in furgery and pharmacy. He attended alto the anatomical lectures of Dr. Hamil ton, and the medical ones, of Dr. Cullen. When the Duke of Cumberland commanded the allied army in Flanders, 1747) Mr. M. was among the many ftudents who flocked to his camp and its hofpitals, and was prefented to the commander in

chief by his relation the Duke of Argyle, then a commoner and reprefentative in parliament for Glasgow, and a lieutenantcolonel of foot. He attended the military hofpital at Maestricht as furgeon's mate, and removed thence to Flushing, 1747, and afterwards affifted the furgeon of the Coldstream regiment under Gen. Braddock, whom he accompanied to England on the - peace, 1748, when only 18 years old. He attended Dr. Hunter's anatomical lectures, and went with Dr. Fordyce to Paris with the fame views. Lord Albemarle was then British embaffador at the French Court, and appointed him furgeon to his household, but he lodged as near as he could to the hofpitals. Here Dr. Gordon proposed to him to return, and enter into partnerfhip with him at Glasgow, which he did after previously taking a courfe of lectures in midwifery with Smellie in London, and practifed two years with Dr. G. till the latter received a doctor's degree, when he continued to act as a furgeon, till, in his 40th year, he accompanied to the Continent James-George Duke of Hamilton, who laboured under a confumptive disorder, in 1769, of which he died in his 15th year, and Mr. M. recorded his malady and merits on his tomb in the family burying-ground. The late Duke being of the fame fickly conftitution, his mother recommended his travelling with the fame person, who had now obtained a doctor's degree at Glafgow, and they spent no less than five years abroad, in France, Italy, Switzerland, and Germany. On their return, Dr. M. removed his family to London, and, 1779, publifhed "A View of Society and Manners in France, Switzerland, and Germany," 2 vols. 8vo, which was favourably received, and gained him no little credit. As he continued to be confulted by his friends till his death, he next published, in 1-85, "Medical Sketches," in which he is fuppofed to have offended fome of his brethren by the difclcfure of certain arcana which it is their intereft to conceal; and, two years after, a like View of Society and Manners in Italy, 2 vols. 8vo, both which have gone through feveral editions. 1739 he published "Zeluco," in which he traces the fatal effects refulting from uncontrouled paifion on the part of a darling fon, and unconditional compliance on that of a food mother; a character fo atrocious, it is hoped, never exifted in real life, as it is calculated rather to affect the reader with horror than to warn him by example. Dr. M. was in France at the time of the Revolution, and, with Lord Lauderdale, witnetfed the horrid matfacre of Sept. 2, 1793, but quitted Paris two days after. Soon after his return he published a Journal during his refidence in France, in 2 vols. 8vo, which is a most valuable, authentic work; and, 1795, "A View of the Caufe and

One of the crew at this inftant, by a fudden and wonderful fpring, caught hold of the cable, and reached the brig in fafety: the remainder wen: under her bottom, and on rifing again, two of them got hold of a part of the boat, and one of them an car, by which means they fupported themselves upon the water. After being carried a confiderable way up the Humber, they fortunately fell in with a brig bound from Lynn to Gainfbro', by which they were taken on board, and experienced the most humane treatment from the master of her, who kindly afforded them every affiftance in his power.

He was a native of Scotland, and a Roman Catholick; and, in 1986, published the profpectus of a new tranflation of the Bible; and, in the following year, a letter to the Buhop of London on the fubject. To this translation, although undertaken by a Roman Catholic clergyman, the bishops, clergy, nobility, and gentry, molt liberally fabícribed. The first volume did not, perhaos, altogether aufwer the fanguine expectations con ceived of it; the fecond volume was publifhed in 1797. Previously to this, the Doctor published araphraftic trap ton of felect fatires of Horace, a performance which quickly reached its merited obfenrity. In 1786 he published a letter to a member of parliament on the cof Difenters; and, 1787, a letter to Dr. Priestley, on the divinsy of Christ. Sree that time he has furnished the world wich fome Prking fpecione as of his wit po! humour.

His political principles were professediy democratical. How far it be permitted to interest Providence in fuch events, others will determine; it may not be unworthy ferious reflection that this libertine in religious and political fentiments is removed, after having been permitted, for a feafon, to concur with the author of all evit in exerciting the faith and patience of the Saints.
