| 520 | _a"The Academic Gregories" by Agnes Grainger Stewart is a biographical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the lineage and contributions of the prominent Scottish family of Gregorie, particularly their significance in education and sciences at Edinburgh University from the 17th to the 18th centuries. It highlights notable family members such as John Gregory, James Gregory, and David Gregory, who had influential roles as professors in mathematics and medicine. The opening of the book begins with the author reflecting on her childhood encounters with two influential figures, Professor James Gregory and William Pulteney Alison, which formed her early admiration for the Gregorie family. The text delves into the family’s historical roots tracing back to the Macgregors of Roro and their subsequent academic achievements. It emphasizes the family's impact on Scottish education and how hereditary talents in mathematics emerged through generations, making the Gregories noteworthy figures in the scientific community. As the narrative unfolds, readers gain insights into family dynamics, the contribution of women, like Janet Anderson, and particular struggles faced during turbulent historical periods in Scotland.
