| | "The Night Before Christmas", by Clement C. Moore |
 | | When his wife died in 1830, Moore was left with seven children between the ages of three and fifteen. | | | Some months afterwards, Moore's children told a visiting friend their father's wonderful Christmas verses. | | | Moore has been for some years Emeritus Professor of Oriental and Greek Literature in the Gen[era]l Theol[ogical] Sem[inary] in N.Y. and was the son of the late Bishop Benjamin Moore of N. On Christmas Eve 1822, family tradition has recorded, Moore's wife was roasting turkeys for distribution to the poor of the local parish. |

| | Clement Clarke Moore and "A Visit from St. Nicholas," by Pat Pflieger (2001, 2002) |
| | The old house was torn down in the 1850s; and Moore built a two-family home for himself and a daughter not far from the site. | | | Many details of Clement Moore's life are drawn from Samuel White Patterson's The Poet of Christmas Eve: A Life of Clement Clarke Moore (NY: Morehouse-Gorham Co., 1956), a well-researched if worshipful biography; and from Arthur N. Hosking's essay on Moore in The Night Before Christmas, a facsimile of the 1848 chapbook (NY: Dover Publications, 1971). | | | Moore graduated from Columbia College in 1798, at the head of his class, and began a master's degree three years later, preparing for the ministry, though he was never ordained. |

| | Naturalistic fallacy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Moore coined the term “naturalistic fallacy” to describe arguments of this form; he explains (in § 12) that the fallacy involved is an instance of a more general type of fallacy, which he leaves unnamed, but which we might call the “definitional fallacy”. | | | Moore's argument for the indefinability of “good” (and thus for the fallaciousness of the “naturalistic fallacy”) is often called the Open Question Argument; it is presented in §13 of Principia Ethica. | | | Moore's argument in Principia Ethica is (among other things) a defense of ethical non-naturalism; he argues that the term "good" (in the sense of intrinsic value) is indefinable, because it names a simple, non-natural property. |

| | Common-place: There Arose Such a Clatter |
| | Don Foster also claims that Clement Clarke Moore loathed children, but from the 1820s on--after he was forty, and beginning at the very time "The Night before Christmas" was first published--Moore seems (like many other Americans) to have found satisfaction and something like serenity by taking emotional refuge in the ordinary pleasures of family life. | | | Moore was almost certainly becoming privately proud of what was far and away the most famous thing he had ever done. | | | Moore actually based one of his poems on a homework assignment one of his own children had received at school. |

| | "Clement Moore Revisited" by Peter Christoph |
| | Samuel White Patterson in his biography of Moore points out2 a very significant passage in Knickerbocker's History. | | | It has become part of the tradition that Moore's reluctance to acknowledge his authorship of the poem after its unauthorized publication was due to his fear that his scholarly reputatin would suffer if he were known to be the composer of amusements for children. | | | We should note that Clement C. Moore was a professor of Oriental and Greek literature, that his professional reputation had been greatly enhanced by his two volume Hebrew dictionary, and that he had translated a French history into English. |

| | On the other hand, Foster found no evidence of such word usage, language, or spirit in anything written by Clement Clarke Moore--except, of course, for "The Night before Christmas" itself. | | | Nevertheless, Foster insists that for all Moore's stylistic incoherence, one ongoing obsession can be detected in his verse (and in his temperament), and that is--noise. | | | One of Moore's many satirical poems, "The Wine Drinker," was a devastating critique of the temperance movement of the 1830s--another bourgeois reform that men of his class almost universally distrusted. |
