228 Alexander Goodman More. [i869 



(From C. C. Babington, M.A., F.R.S., &c., Professor of 

 Botany in the University of Cambridge.) 



CAMBRIDGE, October nth, 1869. 



Mr. A. G. More having informed me that he is a candidate for 

 a Lectureship in Botany, I have much pleasure in stating my belief that 

 he is well qualified for such an office, and likely to be an efficient teacher 

 of that science. I have been long acquainted with him, and had ample 

 opportunity of judging concerning his knowledge of Botany, both pri- 

 vately and also from his published works. 



CHARLES C. BABINGTON. 



(From the late W. H. Harvey, M.D., F.R.S., &c., Pro- 

 fessor of Botany in the University of Dublin.) 



ARCACHON, FRANCE, April loth, 



MY DEAR MR. MORE, In compliance with your request that I 

 should certify to your fitness to fill the post of a public lecturer on 

 Botany, I have no hesitation in saying that I consider your knowledge of 

 the principles of the science amply sufficient to render you a useful 

 teacher, while your extensive and accurate acquaintance with British 

 plants in their places of growth will enable you not only to make your 

 lectures more interesting and instructive to your pupils, but also to instil 

 into them a taste for specific botany a branch so frequently neglected 

 by modern professors. I remain, dear Mr. More, yours very truly, 



W. H. HARVEY. 



(From J. H. Balfour, M.D., F.R.S., &c., Regius Professor 

 of Botany in the University of Edinburgh.) 



EDINBURGH, October 2oth, i86g. 



Mr. A. G. More has been long known to me as an enthusiastic and 

 zealous botanist. He has done much to elucidate the Flora of Ireland, 

 as- shown in the work entitled " Cybele Hibernica." He is an accurate 

 and careful observer, and a lucid and clear writer. I believe him to be 

 well qualified for the situation of Professor of Botany to the Royal Col- 

 lege of Science in Dublin, and have much pleasure in recommending 

 him to the electors. 



J. H. BALFOUR.
