No problem... I'm a regular reader, infrequent commenter (Oregon Regency Society). You always have lovely tidbits of information abotu costume and custom. You can't beat that!

The Regency Redingote, regencyredingote.wordpress.com/, is a weekly blog by Kathryn Kane, a historian. Each week she serves up an interesting and well-referenced fact or facet of life in the Regency.

Here is a fascinating reference:

It is a book, Lessons for Children, by Anna Laetitia Barbauld, published 1801. It is written as a conversation between a mother and son, and was intended as a guide to educating children. It's a wonderful picture of life and education on period, and the conversations are surprisingly not far removed from how we talk to our son.

We have been using the phrases "Do not meddle with the ink horn" and "See, you have inked your frock" (to his great amusement).

Other gems are:

"I want papa's watch."
"No, you will break the glass. You broke it once."

"What, wine for little boys! I never heard such a thing. No, you must not have wine. Here is water."

Okay, I'm in LOVE with the text of this book! I really wish there were a repro version available for sale! Thanks for the great link!

I have discovered a site with excellent PDF images of a number of letters to and from Mr. Francis Godolphin Bond, a naval officer.

Also there is an image of his Lieutenant's commission, and a few other official pronouncements.
