Very good A pleasing association copy of this privately printed memorial collection of tributes published to mark the death of the editor of the Scotsman, Alexander Russel, reprinted from Scottish, English and colonial, national and local newspapers (Irish Times and Bombay Gazette), plus three In Memoriam poems, by ISA (Mrs Craig Knox), "A.S." and Joseph Teenan, and inscribed by the editor's widow to James Dundas, "with Mrs Russel's compliments"; perhaps better known as Helen Evans (née Carter; 1833/1834 1903), our inscriber was one of the 'Edinburgh Seven,' the first female students to matriculate at a British university. The seven medical students, including Sophia Jex-Blake and Evans, enrolled at the University of Edinburgh in 1869, an act which put their demands that women have access to a university education on the national political agenda. The sudden death of Russel's husband Alexander in 1876 derailed her medical training, which she never completed, though she would continue to work for the cause, supporting female doctors and women seeking to train as medics, as well as the education of girls. Indeed, 1876 must have been a bittersweet year for Russel as it also saw the passage of the Medical Act 1876, which enabled women to be licensed to practice medicine, a cause her husband had also supported. An important liberal voice and actor, Alexander Russel (FRSE; 1814-1876) served as editor for The Scotsman for 30 years. Signed by Author(s).
