Thomas Amory (c. 1691 – 25 November 1788) was a writer with an Irish background. He is thought to have lived in Dublin and later in Westminster.[1]
In 1755 Amory published Memoirs containing the lives of several ladies of Great Britain, a History of Antiquities and Observations on the Christian Religion. This was followed by the Life of John Buncle, Esq. in 1756, which was practically a continuation: Vol. I,[2] 1756 and Vol. II,[3] 1766.
These works are those of a polymath, covering philology, natural science, theology and other subjects, unsystematically, but with occasional originality and felicity of diction.
