Publications by the Moores
I am aware of just two publications, both privately printed and circulated, one written by George Moore following his visit to America and the other by his second wife. In addition, I recently became aware of the existence of and managed to acquire a book of lectures delivered at the London HQ of Copestake, Moore & Crampton in 1860-61
1. Voyage across the Atlantic by George Moore, Esq.
2. Whitehall in Cumberland by Mrs Agnes Jane Moore
3. Lectures 1860 - 61 Premises of Copestake Moore & Frampton
Busts of George Moore, Esq. & Mrs Agnes Jane Moore. These busts reside in the Community Centre in Fletchertown.
