Samuel Moore (1 December 1838 – 20 July 1911) was an English translator, lawyer and colonial administrator.[1] He is best known for the first English translation of Das Kapital and the only authorised translation of The Communist Manifesto which was thoroughly verified and supplied with footnotes by Friedrich Engels.[2][1][3][4] Moore also wrote a summary of a notebook by Marx which was published as Chapter III of the third volume of Das Kapital.[5]

Born in Bamford, Moore was for many years a friend of Karl Marx and Engels[6] and their advisor in mathematics,[7] which he had studied at Trinity College, Cambridge.[1][5][8]
