How much things costed
Yet another great discovery to add to my "how much things cost" research collection.
Liza Picard has written what amounts to a history of London in 4 volumes (so far): Elizabeth's London, Restoration London, Dr. Johnson's London, and Victorian London. I've been long familiar with the Restoration one, and was delighted to find the other three. They are EXACTLY the information I need: What DID you pay a footman? How much was your rent for a two-room dwelling? Where were the fashionable neighborhoods? What part of town did kept women live in?
WONDERFUL stuff!
Now if I only had time to do ANYTHING besides slog away on finishing Dark Souls, Ben January #11, before deadline...
