 thou would say to this 'mountain' be thou removed to that see." He did not live, however, to enjoy his promotion, for he died on the very day of his enthronement, 24 Oct. 1628.

Admitted 8 August, 1614.

He is entered in the Register as "Dean of Norwich and Bishop of Meath in Ireland," but his parentage is not given. In Blomefield's Norfolk he is spoken of as a Scotchman, and that he was of good family may be inferred from the confirmation of his coat-of-arms by Camden. He was installed in the Deanery of Norwich 6 June, 1603, preferred to the bishopric of Derry in 1605, and translated to Meath in 1610, four years before his admission to the Inn. He died in Jan. 1620-1, when he was succeeded in the bishopric by the scholarly James Ussher, afterwards Archbishop of Armagh.

Admitted 6 August, 1580.

Son of Edward Moore of East Tyldesley, Berks. He was admitted from New Inn. In 1607 he filled the office of Reader, in which year it is recorded that three of his sons were admitted to the Inn on the same day. In the Parliaments of Elizabeth and James I. he was a member and a frequent speaker. He was afterwards counsellor to the University of Oxford, which conferred on him the degree of Master of Arts in 1612. Two years later he was made Serjeant-at-Law and in 1616 received the honour of knighthood.

After his death in 1621 his writings were published with the following titles: Cases Collected and Reported, 1663; [abridged and published two years later by W. Hughes] Reading in Middle Temple Hall concerning Charitable Uses, 1676.

Admitted 19 November, 1795.

Eldest son of John Moore of Dublin, where he was born on 28 May, 1779. At the time of his admission he had already become known as a poet and on crossing the channel to keep his terms brought with him, we are told, a translation of the Odes of Anacreon, which he wished to publish by subscription. As might be expected, he was never called to the Bar, for, finding himself, almost from the first, the idol of London society, he seems to have treated the study of the law with neglect, if not contempt. The first collective edition of his works was published in 10 vols. 12mo in 1840—41, and there have been many subsequent editions. He died 25 Feb. 1852.

His productions appeared separately in the following order: Odes of Anacreon (1800); Poetical Works of the late Thomas Little (1801); Considerations on the Present Crisis (1803); Epistles, Odes, etc. (1806); Corruption and Intolerance; two Poems (1808); The Sceptic: a Satire (1809); Letter to the Roman Catholics of Dublin (1810); Intercepted Letters, or The Twopenny Post Bag (1812); Irish Melodies, with Symphonies and Accompaniments by Sir John Stephenson (1813—14); National Melodies (1815); Sacred Songs (1816); National Airs, with Symphonies, etc., by H. E. Bishop; Evenings in Greece; Lalla Rookh (1817); The Fudge Family in Paris (1818); Ballads, Songs, etc.; Tom, Crib's Memorial to Congress (1819); The Loves of the Angels (1823); Miscellaneous Poems; Memoirs of Captain Rock (1824); Memoirs of R. B. Sheridan (1825); The Epicurean: a Tale (1827); Odes (1828); Letters and Journals of Lord Byron (1830); Life of Lord Edward Fitzgerald (1831); Travels of an Irish Gentleman in Search of a Religion (1833); The Summer Fete (1831); History of Ireland (1839-46).
