The Marriage of the Hon. Alicia Amherst and Mr. Evelyn Cecil, 1898. 'More than the usual Society interest is attached to the marriage of the Hon. Alicia Amherst and Mr. Evelyn Cecil, which is to take place on Tuesday next. The bride,...rather more than a year ago achieved a dignity rare for one of her sex by being made a "freeman" of the Worshipful Company of Gardeners. When, the honour was formally conferred upon Miss Amherst, in recognition of the value of her contributions to the history and literature of English gardening, it was recorded that a woman had only twice before achieved it...The writing of her important "History of Gardening in England" was first suggested to Miss Amherst by Mr. Percy Newberry, who had contributed some articles on the subject to the Gardener's Chronicle, but was unable to continue the series owing to his researches in Egypt. On making independent investigations on the subject among original sources and in the volumes of many libraries, Miss Amherst found her theme expand until it assumed its volume form of its own accord rather than out of her deliberate purpose. Mr. Evelyn Cecil...has for some time past been Assistant Private Secretary to his uncle, the Prime Minister [the Marquis of Salisbury]'. From "Illustrated London News", 1898.
