About the author

Louis Compton Miall FRS (12 Sep 1842-21 Feb 1921) was a Victorian polymath - early in his life he worked as a teacher, geologist, palaeontologist and museum curator and later a biologist, entomologist and educationalist. He is probably most famous as the first Professor of Biology at the University of Leeds and is well known there today for his dissection in 1874 of an elephant that had been part of a circus visiting Leeds.
