Hugh Moises (1722–1806) was a noted English schoolmaster. ==Life== The son of Edward Moises, M.A., vicar of Wymeswold, Leicestershire, he was born there on 9 April 1722,. Educated first at Wrexham School in Denbighshire, he moved to Chesterfield grammar school, Derbyshire, under the Rev. Dr. Burroughs. In 1741 he went to Trinity College, Cambridge, where his elder brother Edward Moises, later vicar of Masham, Yorkshire, was a fellow. He graduated B.A. in 1745, with a reputation as a classical scholar, and shortly elected a fellow of Peterhouse. In the same year he became an assistant in the school of his old teacher at Chesterfield, where he continued till 1749. In that year he proceeded M.A. Also in 1749, on the recommendation of Edmund Keene, Moises was appointed headmaster of Newcastle Free School, in succession to Richard Dawes. The school at the time had few pupils, but Moises raised standards, becoming admired for his consistent approach. In 1750 the corporation of Newcastle raised his salary, and on 21 April 1761 they appointed him to the morning-lectureship of All Saints' Church. On 14 June 1779, he was appointed master of St. Mary's Hospital, Newcastle.〔 In 1787 Moises was presented to the rectory of Greystoke, Cumberland, and resigned the mastership of the school, after nearly 40 years; he was succeeded by his nephew, the Rev. Edward Moises, M.A., who was vicar of Hart and Hartlepool from 1811. After living at Greystoke for some years he resigned the rectory, at the patron's request, and he spent the last years of his life in Newcastle. In 1801 he was appointed one of the chaplains to his old pupil Lord Eldon, who had become Lord Chancellor.〔 Moises died at his house in Northumberland Street, Newcastle, on 5 July 1806.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hugh Moises」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
