Moore, John (3)

a clergyman of the Church of England, who flourished about the opening of this century, was minor canon of St. Paul's, lecturer of St. Sepulchre's, rector of St. Michael Barrisham, London, and of Langdon Hills, Essex. He in vain endeavored to secure public aid for the publication of an edition of bishop Waldon's Ecclesiastical History of London. He was a learned man and an excellent preacher. He published, Case of the London Clergy (1802, 8vo): — Attempt to Recover the Reading of 1Sa 13:1, with Inquiry of the Duration of Solomon's Reign (1797, 8vo): — Prophetiae de LXX Hebdonadis ap. Danielumn explicatio (1802, 8vo): — Prophecy of Isaiah 7:14, 15 (1809, 8vo). See Biog. Dit. of Living Auth. s.v.
