Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Life and Letters of Alexander Goodman More F. R. S. A., F. L. S., M. R. I. A : With Selections From His Zoological and Botanical Writings Many friends of my Brother´s have pressed me to give them a sketch of his life. This memoir is an effort to comply with their wishes; and I have thought it due to the memory of one who worked so devotedly in the service of Natural History, not to restrict the book to mere private circulation, but rather to make the record of a noble and unselfish life accessible to all. The high position which my Brother long held among the naturalists of Ireland was partly the result of qualities which his published writings do not show, but of which, perhaps, some idea may be gathered from the extracts from his journals and correspondence given in these pages. To quote the words of his friend, Mr. R. M. Barrington, in the Irish Naturalist (May, 1895): - "Nobody can hope to fill his place; no one is equally familiar with birds, mammals, fishes, reptiles, flowering plants and ferns, a versatility which was happily combined with a sound judgment, great tact, and a suavity and gentleness of manner peculiarly attractive. His ability was perhaps best testified by the regard which was entertained for him by every one. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
