About the author
Born in London on September 5, 1830, Alexander Goodman More grew into one of the best-known naturalists of his day. He studied at Rugby School and Trinity College, Cambridge, and became especially interested in botany and ornithology.
More is closely linked with the natural history of Ireland. He carried out careful fieldwork, wrote on the distribution of birds, and helped build knowledge of Irish plants through major botanical work. He was also recognized by learned societies, including the Royal Irish Academy and the Linnean Society.
He died in Dublin on March 22, 1895. His reputation lasted well beyond his lifetime, and a posthumous volume of his life, letters, and scientific writings helped preserve the range of his work for later readers.
