1869J Botanical Testimonials. 229 



(From G. Dickie, A.M., M.D., F.L.S., &c., Professor of 

 Botany in the University of Aberdeen). 



ABERDEEN, September 2>jth, i86g. 



Mr. A. G. More has for several years been known to me as a very 

 zealous botanist. From his writings as well as from personal knowledge 

 I have formed a high opinion of his great accuracy in the branch to 

 which he has been specially directing his attention. I feel assured that 

 he would efficiently and conscientiously discharge the duties of the office 

 for which he is a candidate.

Understanding that Mr. A. G. More is likely to become a candi- 

 date for an Academical Chair of Botany, I am happy to give my tes- 

 timony to his high attainments in that department of knowledge, which 

 have been long known to me through his published writings as well as 

 by frequent correspondence and personal acquaintanceship. Mr. More 

 has acquired a critically exact knowledge of British plants, which is 

 fortunately also combined with a wider knowledge of the science of 

 botany in its more philosophical branches. His special attention to the 

 botany of Ireland is amply shown by the " Cybele Hibernica," and by 

 his discovery of plants there which had previously remained unknown 

 to the botanists of Ireland.

LONDON, ioth June, 1865. 



I have been acquainted with Mr. A. G. More for many years, and 

 have had ample opportunities of judging of his botanical attainments, 

 which are of a high order. I have frequently been indebted to his 

 acumen for the solution of difficulties which occurred to me while 

 writing the descriptions of British Plants for the " Third Edition of 

 English Botany." Mr. More has contributed several able papers to the 

 "Phytologist," and furnished descriptions of some of the plants included 

 in the "Supplement to English Botany." He is now engaged along 

 with Dr. Moore in preparing a " Cybele Hibernica," which will prove 

 a valuable addition to our knowledge of Irish plants. I believe Mr. 

 More to be eminently qualified for the duties of Professor of Natural 

 History, as in addition to the requisite knowledge, he has great facility
