Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: GOA-GRA
GOOD, JOHN MASON (1764-1827) , English writer on medical, religious and classical subjects, was born on the 25th of May 1764 at Epping, Essex. After attending a school at Romsey kept by his father, the Rev. Peter Good, who was a Nonconformist minister, he was, at about the age of fifteen, apprenticed to a surgeon-apothecary at
Gosport
 . In 1783 he went to London to prosecute his medical studies, and in the autumn of 1784 he began to practise as a surgeon at Sudbury in Suffolk. In 1793 he removed to London, where he entered into partnership with a surgeon and apothecary. But the partnership was soon dissolved, and to increase his income he began to devote attention to literary pursuits. Besides contributing both in
prose
  and verse to the Analytical and
Critical
  Reviews and the British and Monthly Magazines, and other
periodicals
 , he wrote a large number of works relating chiefly to medical and religious subjects. In 1794 he .became a member of the British Pharmaceutical Society, and in that connexion, and especially by the publication of his
work
 , A History of
Medicine
  (1795), he did much to effect a greatly needed reform in the profession of the apothecary. In 182o he took the diploma of M.D. at Marischal College, Aberdeen. He died at Shepperton,
Middlesex
 , on the 2nd of January 1827. Good was not only well versed in classical literature, but was acquainted with the principal European languages, and also with Persian, Arabic and Hebrew. His
prose
  works display wide erudition; but their style is dull and tedious. His poetry never rises above pleasant and well-versified commonplace. His
translation
  of Lucretius, The Nature of Things (1805-1807), contains elaborate philological and explanatory notes, together with parallel passages and quotations from European and Asiatic authors. _
