BRIEF MEMOIR

OF THE

RIGHT REV. BENJAMIN MOORE, DECEASED,

FORMER BISHOP OF THE DIOCESE OF NEW-YORK.

"THIS very sincerely beloved and venerated Prelate was born at Newtown, Long Island, on the 5th day of October, 1748; he attended the school there, and subsequently, in the City of New-York, in order to prepare for his entrance into King's (now Columbia) College, where he graduated. He pursued his studies, after he graduated, at Newtown, under the direction of Dr. Auchmuty, Rector of Trinity Church; and he was engaged some years in teaching Latin and Greek to the sons of several gentlemen residing in the City of New-York.

"He went to England in May, 1774; was ordained Deacon, on Friday, June 24th, in the same year, in the chapel of the Episcopal Palace at Fulham, by the Right Rev. Richard Terrick, Bishop of London; and Priest, on Wednesday, June 29th, in the same place, in the same year, and by the same Bishop.

"After his return from England he officiated in Trinity Church and its chapels, and was appointed, with the Rev. Mr. Bowden, (since Dr. Bowden, of Columbia College,) an Assistant Minister of Trinity Church, of which Dr. Auchmuty was Rector, and afterward Dr. Inglis, since Bishop of NovaScotia, and father of the present Prelate of that province. On the resignation of Bishop Provost, Dr. Moore was appointed Rector of Trinity Church, December 22d, 1800; and was unanimously elected Bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Church VOL. IV.-1
