Alexander Turnbull (bibliophile)
Alexander Horsburgh Turnbull (14 September 1868 – 28 June 1918)〔(http://www.teara.govt.nz/en/1966/turnbull-alexander-horsburgh/1 )〕 was a New Zealand merchant, dandy and book collector. On his death, his collection became the nucleus of the Alexander Turnbull Collection, initially housed in his house on Bowen Street opposite Parliament Buildings but housed with the collections of the National Library of New Zealand. In 1913, shortly before his death, Turnbull had presented his Maori and Pacific artefacts to the Dominion Museum (now Te Papa).〔

== Biography ==
Born in Wellington to Scottish merchant Walter Turnbull (1823-1897) and his wife Alexandrina Horsburgh (1827-1896), Turnbull grew up in Wellington but moved to London with his family near the end of his schooling in 1881. By the time he returned permanently to New Zealand in 1892, he was already collecting books. His particular interests were New Zealand, Pacific exploration, Scottish history, English literature, John Ruskin, and, particularly, John Milton. He had a standing order with London bookseller Bernard Quaritch, which was regularly updated to include more subjects.
He is buried with his parents at Bolton Street Memorial Park, Wellington.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Details for TURNBULL Alexandrina Horsburgh )〕
