Bookplate on the front pastedown "Gayfield Square Ladies' School Library. Miss Anderson, Mr & Mrs Anderson." The school was run by the Anderson family who opened it at 7 Garfield Square, Edinburgh in 1834. Euphemia Anderson ran the school with the help of her brother Robert, who also gave classes in other places in Edinburgh, and Robert's wife. In the 'Edinburgh & Leith Post Office directory' for the 1850s, Robert is listed as a teacher of "natural history and physical science". A sister-in-law, Anne Urquhart from Perth, also helped in the school at different times. The Andersons and the Urquharts had been close friends for many years, partly through business connections. In 1838 the school was renamed the Gayfield Square Ladies' Institution, before becoming the Gayfield Square Academy. The school closed in 1852.
