Archbishop of Sydney Peter Jensen has written to commend Peter Bolt’s  book, “A Portrait in his Actions: Thomas Moore of Liverpool 1762-1840. Part 1”.

“[Peter Bolt] has done more than produce an ecclesiastical biography. He has set Moore into the context of early Sydney (and its world) and contributed significantly to our knowledge of what occurred in this town in its earliest days. He has uncovered sources hitherto unknown or unused. He has begun to explain how it is that one as humble as Moore in background and education could make provision for the founding of what amounted to Australia’s first tertiary educational institution.”
