Description:
In the opening years of the 19th century, Devonian naturalist William Elford Leach was one of the world's leading zoologists. He was a friend of Lamarck and of Cuvier, and his influence was recognised from Russia in the east to the United States in the west. Virtually single-handed he modernised the zoology in Britain, isolated by twenty years of European war. He taught the man who taught Darwin. Leach's brother fought in the Napoleonic wars.
