An Entomologist and political figure Scot born Alexander Macleay was a significant icon in the nineteenth-century pioneer days of Sydney, Australia. Criticised for his salary, his free house and the large land grants, his stand in society remained until his retirement in 1846. This is a testament to his endurance and indefatigable nature. In this book Donaldson paints a strong portrait of a man who became Colonial Secretary for New South Wales in 1825 and whose scientific curiosity made his insect collection one of the most extensive in the world.
