with natural history.

Mant (Richard), 1776-1848 
Richard Mant, Bishop of Down, Connor, and Dromore, 
was born at Southampton, February 12, 1776, his father 
being Rector of All Saints’, Southampton, and Master of 
King Edward’s Grammar School. He was educated at 
Winchester School and Trinity College, Oxford, graduated 
B.A. in 1797, M.A. in 1801, and was ordained in 1803. After 
holding several curacies and livings in England, he was 
nominated by Lord Liverpool for an Irish Bishopric in 1820, 
becoming first Bishop of Killaloe and Kilfenoragh, and in 
1823 being translated to Down and Connor. He died 
November 2, 1848. 
Mant was a prolific writer, but his forty-three publications 
are all of a theological or poetical nature. He, however, 
claims a place in the present work on account of his British 
Months , a poetical work, but containing numerous references 
to birds, a great many species being dealt with at some 
length.
