I am learning so much about life in Regency England. I'm not rushing through it and am taking notes to use in my own writing. For example, on page 19 it speaks of a carriage taking 38 hours to travel from Chester to London with stops only to change horses. From mapquest.com it shows the mileage as around 195. That's just over 5 miles an hour. The comment was made that the roads were not in good condition at the time.

I just finished the section on clothing. It was educational and, at times, humorous. This section definitely made me appreciate denim pants, pantyhose, a daily shampoo and shower, and loose fitting shirts.
