Horace Lamb,
Dictionary of National Biography…
(1912)
“ His mathematical interests were varied by an almost passionate study of cryptogamic botany. He died unmarried at Buxton on 20 Nov. 1907, and was buried in the Manchester southern cemetery. By his will he provided for the foundation in the University of Manchester of a professorship of cryptogamic botany, and for the endowment of bursaries for poor students in mathematics and botany. ”
