Catharine Talbot was a member of the Blue Stockings Society. Born into a notable ecclesiastical family, her father died before she was born and she was brought up in the household of Thomas Secker who was to become Dean of St Paul's and Archbishop of Canterbury. Secker oversaw her education and, through his extensive connections, she was introduced to the leading intellectual circles of the time. She was friendly with Samuel Richardson and Elizabeth Montagu, one of whose Blue Stockings Catharine became. Ill health interrupted her work as a writer but she did contribute to Samuel Johnson's The Rambler and, after her at the age of fifty, her manuscripts were published. These, in particular her Reflections on the Seven Days of the Week, were an instant success and frequently reprinted. The present volume, brings together the Reflections together with essays, prose pastorals, poetry and a fairy tale. A charming collection attractively bound.

Pennington, "rector of Thorley, Herts; late Fellow of Clare Hall, Cambridge and Chaplain to the late Countess of Bath" (from the title page) describes his travels in Europe following the end of the Napoleonic wars. He had traveled on the Continent in the 1780's, before the French Revolution, and was thus able to contrast, from personal knowledge, pre- and post-Napoleonic Europe. As an example, Chapter 2 begins with the following statement: "In spite of the Revolution and the horrors it had experienced, we found in Paris the same thoughtlessness and gaiety for which it was ever distinguished; and the rapid change of dynasties had made little change in the disposition of the people." Providing both a history and travel narrative, Pennington makes his way around Europe to Italy and up through Switzerland. His comments on everything from museums to religious practice make for a thoroughly enjoyable and fascinating read.
