Born in 1839 in Cádiz in a family of traders, son to a Scottish father.[2] He was the younger brother of Guillermo Macpherson,[3] a diplomat, archaeologist and translator. Macpherson met Francisco Giner de los Ríos (the founder of the Institución Libre de Enseñanza, ILE) for the first time in 1875,[4] collaborating with and eventually becoming a lecturer of the ILE (1882).[5] He was also a member of the Sociedad Española de Historia Natural and a founding member of the Sociedad Geográfica de Madrid.[6]
