HUGGINS, Lady Daughter of John Murray, solicitor.
Home; private school, Brighton.
Much interested in science, especially in astronomy. Even as a child she worked, systematically making herself familiar with the constellations, observing sun-spots and making drawings of them with a small terrestrial telescope, and studying the books of Sir J. Herschel, Dick, and Lardner. She also worked experimentally at elementary physics and chemistry, and gained some practical knowledge of photography.
On her marriage, she threw herself enthusiastically into her husband’s work, and was his sole assistant in observatory and laboratory. Deeply interested in art, music, and archaeology, Lady Huggins has done a good deal of work in astronomical archaeology, and in the archaeology and history of music and of art. She has always felt great interest in education, in her earlier life being an earnest Sundayschool teacher, while later she served for some ears as one of the managers of a group of oard schools. Margaret Lindsay, Honourable Memorandum Royal Astronomical or Asiatic Society; assisted Sir William Huggins in his scientific work.
