This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

He was born in 1848, was second son of Daniel Moore, vicar of Holy Trinity, Paddington, and prebendary of Saint Paul"son
He was educated at Saint Paul"s School from 1860 to 1867, which he left with an exhibition, matriculating as a commoner of Exeter College, Oxford, 1867, whence, after obtaining first class honours in classical moderations and literce humaniores, he graduated Bachelor of Arts in 1871 (Master of Arts 1874).
He has been described as "the clergyman who more than any other man was responsible for breaking down the antagonisms towards Evolution then widely felt in the English Church". He was fellow of Saint John"s College, Oxford, 1872-1876. Became a lecturer and tutor (1874).
Was assistant tutor at Magdalen College (1875).
And was rector of Frenchay, near Bristol, from 1876 to 1881, when he was appointed a tutor of Keble College. He became examining chaplain to Bishops Mackarness and Stubbs of Oxford, select preacher at Oxford 1885-1886, Whitehall preacher 1887-1888, and honorary canon of Christ Church 1887.
A few weeks before his death, he accepted an official fellowship as dean of divinity at Magdalen College, Oxford, and when nominated simultaneously to examine in the final honour schools of theology and literce humaniores, accepted the latter post. He died after a very brief illness on 17 January 1890, and was buried in Holywell Cemetery.
He lectured mainly on philosophy and on the history of the Reformation.
Though rendered constitutionally weak by physical deformity, he had great powers of endurance and hard work, was a brilliant talker and preacher, and distinguished as a botanist. He differed from other religious figures of the time by accepting the theory of natural selection, incorporating it into his Christian beliefs as merely the way God worked. He wrote that Evolution "as a theory is infinitely more Christian than the theory of "Special Creation." Foreign it implies the immanence of God in nature, and the omnipresence of his creative power.
Those who opposed the doctrine of evolution in defence of "a continued intervention" of God seem to have failed to notice that a theory of occasional intervention implies as its correlative a theory of ordinary absence.." Moore was curator of the Botanical Gardens in England in 1887.
He wrote two books: Science and Faith (1889) and, and was a contributor to Lux Mundi (1889).
