The National Register 1808-1823

The National Register--it was first published in January of 1808--was a weekly newspaper, released on Sundays by John Browne Bell. He was the estranged son of famous publisher John Bell, and had some involvement in the popular, well-known magazine La Belle Assemblee, until his estrangement. The National Register was his first solo endeavour.

On February 17 of 1808, the Bury and Norwich Post carrie

Quotes by Lesley-Anne McLeod (?)

“Jane Austen’s world is a unique wedge of history, immortalized by her wonderful books. It is ironic that I am fascinated by the Regency world in all its details, when Jane Austen seldom mentions any of those facts. She never mentions the war raging in Europe, her characters are apparently unaware of the industrialization shortly to overtake them. The revolution of steam travel does not touch her people–they travel by coach, horse, and foot.” and “There is no doubt that Austen herself was aware of the world around her and its imminent change. But her characters live in the world of the family, the village and the heart–and are loved because of it. The trappings of the greater world do not impinge on Jane Austen’s books.”
― Lesley-Anne McLeod
