John Rush Moore placed a 'Literary Notice' in the Australian Quarterly Journal of Theology, Literature and Science, 3 (3 July 1828): 309. The notice reads: 'In the Press, and will be published by Subscription, at Hills Printing Office, George Street, On the 1st. of October next price, 10s. - Original Pomes, by John Rush Moore.' It appears this volume was never published.

Elizabeth Webbey suggests that John Rush Moore may be J. R. M. (fl. 1825). (See Early Australian Poetry : An Annotated Bibliography of Original Poems Published in Australian Newspapers, Magazines and Almanacks Before 1850, 1982)
