LEOPOLD HARTLEY GRINDON. 
By the death of Leopold Hartley Grindon one of the last of 
the old school of field-naturalists bas been removed from among us. 
Born in Bristol, where he spent his early years, on March 28, 1818, 
he soon became interested in wild flowers, and at the age of four- 
teen began the formation Lot an interesting series of scrapbooks, in 
which specimens of plants were mingled with pictures, newspaper- 
cuttings, rag other cbjedts eduventad with his walks. In 1838 he 
removed to Manchester, where he became cashier to a firm of 
cotton- spinners retaining his post until 1864. By this time he had 
becom nown as a popular writer upon goon connected 
with Din history ; ; his Life, its Nature, Varietie henomen 
was first published m 1856; in 1859 appeared his M mike Flora; 
British and Garden Botany—a combination of the foregoing and of 
an earlier work with a similar title—came out in 1864; other 
volumes; including a Shakespere Flora, appeared later. The Fairfield 
4 chids, published anonymously in 1872—a list of the orchids grown 
a Manchester firm—is a noteworthy exaniple of what a trade

peste: and often original. He had a store of knowle edge on 
many subjects, and this gave a pecs Pa my to his ple 
which for many years were a fea f the ae if not very 
scientific mora nam of the Matshiontar Field Naturalists’ cat 
This was established, mainly by his exertions, in 1860, he 
retained the P peiaiadtiss to the end of his nee The abuinaicer 
head hegre more than half a ety ago, is not in accordance 
‘with our present notions of what a Lest should be: it is 
sata a popular introduction to rer with local information 
added, but must have been exceedingly useful to those for whom 
it was prepared. 
Grindon’ s kindly disposition and genial character rendered him 
deservedly popular in Manchester; his eightieth birthday was the 
occasion of a representative gathering of citizens at the To wn Hall, 
when he was presented with a purse of £500, and Mrs. Gandaas 
his second wife, who shared her husband’s pursuits—received a 
portrait of her husband. He died at his residence, Cecil Street,
