Harriet Urquhart

Harriet Fortescue, wife of David Urquhart

According to Harriet's biographer:
                

Half her articles in his paper, the Free press, and her many other writings were by him, and half of his by her.
                 

While, according to the Urquharts' son, David (Jnr),
                        

…the argumentative work, the collating of extracts from despatches, treaties, &c, was done by her first, and then my father dictated the introduction and conclusion.
