Context

Administrative/Biographical history:

Dr. Edward Whitaker Gray (1748-1806) was a doctor who was also appointed curator of the natural history collections at the British Museum.

An extensive search in Ruskin's Diaries and in various Lives has failed to reveal the identity or place of residence of 'Dr. Gray'; he is presumably related to the Dr. Gray of the diploma, and is perhaps a relation of Ruskin's wife, Euphemia Gray.

Content

Scope and content/abstract:

Diploma of doctorate of medicine from Aberdeen University for Edward Whitaker Gray, 1778; with two letters from John Ruskin to a "Dr. Gray", 1871 (not thought to be the same individual).
