Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MOL-MOS
MOORE, JOHN (1729-1802) , Scottish physician and writer, was born at Stirling in 1729, the son of a clergyman. After taking his medical degree at Glasgow, he served with the army in
Flanders
 , then proceeded to London to continue his studies, and eventually to Paris, where he was attached to the
household
  of the British
ambassador
 . His novel Zeluco (1789), a close
analysis
  of the motives of a selfish profligate, produced a
great
  impression at the time, and indirectly, through the poetry of Byron, has left an abiding mark on literature. Byron said that he intended Childe Harold to be " a poetical Zeluco," and the most striking features of the portrait were undoubtedly taken from that character. Moore's other works have a less marked individuality, but his sketches of society and manners in France, Germany, Switzerland, Italy and England furnish valuable materials for the social historian. In 1792 he accompanied Lord Lauderdale to Paris, and witnessed some of the
principal
  scenes of the Revolution. His
Journal
  during a Residence in France (1793) is the careful
record
  of an eye-
witness
 , and is frequently referred to by Carlyle. He died in London on the 21st of January 1802, leaving five sons, the eldest of whom was General Sir John Moore. James Moore (1763-1834), who wrote Sir John's Life, was also the author of some important medical works, and Sir Graham Moore (1764-1843), saw much active naval service and became an
admiral
 .
