Anotace knihy

This book is a "first" biography of Scottish-born physician John Moore: his childhood, education, and medical training in Glasgow and abroad; his marriage, family, and friendships (particularly with Tobias Smollett); and his professional practice in the north. Then the narrative relates his experience conducting a young nobleman on the Grand Tour through Europe and provides an unusually detailed account of the tour's highlights and difficulties. When they return, the physician moves his family to London to begin a second career in literature and to acquire patronage for his sons' professions. This biography covers not only his publications but discusses his circle of friends among nobility, politicians, artists, and others. The last third of this book emphasizes his involvement in the French Revolution, his correspondence with Robert Burns, and his strained family relationships. There is also material on Moore's finances drawn from archival records in Glasgow and Edinburgh and his bank ledgers in London.
