Arthur Augustus Moore (1817-45), the elder of George Henry Moore’s two younger brothers, was a boy of precociously brilliant intellect and unbridled spirit. After two years at Trinity College, Cambridge, during which he was recognised as a very promising mathematician, he surrendered himself to sport and fun. In March 1845 while riding steeplechase at Liverpool, he was killed by the fall of his horse.
