This is a useful and interesting if somewhat specialised addition to the bookshelf of anybody interested in Georgian history, society and art. The entries make fascinating reading, and the whole is laid out with very high quality reproductions, mostly colour. It is nothing less than a labour of love on which the author should be congratulated.
For further reading, we can recommend [[Sir William Knighton: The Strange Career of a Regency Physician by Charlotte Frost]], a study of one of the foremost medical names of the period. [[A Royal Affair: George III and His Troublesome Siblings by Stella Tillyard]] gives an interesting account of the sovereign and some of his more difficult relatives, while for an overview of England in the early years of the nineteenth century, [[1815: Regency Britain in the Year of Waterloo by Stephen Bates]] does the job very well. We can also recommend [[The Glorious First of June: Fleet Battle in the Reign of Terror by Sam Willis]].
