Thomas Amory (1691(?) – 25 November 1788) was a writer of Irish descent. In 1755 he published ''Memoirs containing the lives of several ladies of Great Britain, a History of Antiquities and Observations on the Christian Religion'', which was followed by the ''Life of John Buncle, Esq.'' (Vol. I,〔http://books.google.com/books?id=ThsGAAAAQAAJ&pg=PP9〕 1756, and Vol. II,〔http://books.google.com/books?id=ThsGAAAAQAAJ&pg=PP7〕 1766), practically a continuation. The contents of these works are miscellaneous—philology, natural science, theology, and much besides, treated without any system, but with occasional originality and felicity of diction. The author, who was a renowned eccentric, had a peculiar aspect, with the manner of a gentleman, and scarcely ever stirred abroad except at dusk. He reached the age of 97. ==Notes== * * * The information here is consistent with the entry in ''The Oxford Companion to English Literature'', ed. Sir Paul Harvey, 4th e.
