Tras estudiar en Romsey bajo la supervisión de su padre, el reverendo Peter Good, aprendió cirugía y farmacia en Gosport. En 1783 vino a Londres para proseguir sus estudios de Medicina. En el otoño de 1784 empezó sus prácticas como cirujano en Sudbury, Suffolk. Allí conoció a , un escritor estudioso de Shakespeare. En 1793 abandonó Londres para empezar a establecerse como cirujano y farmacéutico, pero como estos negocios le fueron mal empezó a interesarse por la literatura y a hacer contribuciones a la Analytical y Critical Review y al British y Monthly Magazine y otros periódicos y revistas, escribiendo largo número de obras sobre materia médica y religiosa. En 1794 fue nombrado miembro de la British Pharmaceutical Society, y desde allí, y por medio de la publicación de A History of Medicine (1795) provocó una reforma de la profesión de farmacéutico. En 1820 obtuvo el diploma de doctor en Medicina por el de la Universidad de Aberdeen. Murió en , Middlesex, el 2 de enero de 1827. Fue hombre políglota y muy versado en lenguas y literaturas clásicas y modernas; incluso conocía el parsi, el árabe y el hebreo. Sus obras en prosa despliegan una portentosa erudición, si bien su estilo es algo tedioso. Algo mejor es su poesía. Su traducción y versión bilingüe de Lucrecio, The Nature of Things (1805-1807), contiene elaboradas notas explanatorias y es importante para la literatura comparada por los pasajes paralelos que aduce de autores de literaturas europeas y asiáticas.

- John Mason Good (25 May 1764 – 2 January 1827), English writer on medical, religious and classical subjects, was born at Epping, Essex. John Good's parents were the Nonconformist minister Revd Peter Good and Sarah Good, the daughter of another Nonconformist minister, Revd Henry Peyto of Great Coggeshall. John Mason Good was named after the Puritan clergyman and hymn writer John Mason (1645-1694), of whom his mother Sarah was a descendant. Good attended a school at Romsey kept by his father. At about the age of 15 John Good was apprenticed to a surgeon-apothecary at Gosport. In 1783 he went to London to practice his medical studies. In the autumn of 1784, he began to practice as a surgeon at Sudbury in Suffolk. There he was an acquaintance of Nathan Drake, a fellow writer and student of Shakespeare. In 1793 Good removed to London, where he entered into partnership with a surgeon and apothecary. But the partnership was soon dissolved, and to increase his income, he began to devote attention to literary pursuits. Besides contributing both in prose and verse to the Analytical and Critical Reviews and the British and Monthly Magazines, and other periodicals, he wrote a large number of works relating chiefly to medical and religious subjects. In 1794 John Good became a member of the British Pharmaceutical Society, and in that connection, and especially by the publication of his work, A History of Medicine (1795), he did much to effect a greatly needed reform in the profession of the apothecary. In 1795 the London Medical Society awarded him their Fothergillian gold medal. In 1820, he took the diploma of M.D. at Marischal College, University of Aberdeen. He died at Shepperton, Middlesex, on 2 January 1827. Good was not only well versed in classical literature, but was acquainted with the principal European languages, and also with Persian, Arabic and Hebrew. His prose works display wide erudition, but their style is dull and tedious. His poetry never rises above pleasant and well-versified commonplace. His translation of Lucretius, The Nature of Things (1805-1807), contains elaborate philological and explanatory notes, together with parallel passages and quotations from European and Asiatic authors.
