Sitters for portraits exhibited at the Royal Academy
(1785)
From 29 April 1785 the Daily Universal Register of London ran a review of the new exhibition of the Royal Academy at Somerset House. The comments on the pictures are brief and often unflattering; nor are the artists always named; the pictures are referred to by their catalogue numbers. Jocular venom could not so lightly be included in descriptions of portraits of named individuals. This is the index to those sitters.SMITH. Cost: £6.00. | Sample scan, click to enlarge

Valetudinarians (and the fashionable) at Bath
(1785)
The spa at Bath was a cynosure both for those wishing to take the waters, and for fashionable society seeking a little recreation. Lists of arrivals at Bath were printed in the Country News section of the Daily Universal Register for January 1785, generally speaking arranged in order of social precedence, headed by lords and ladies, and ending with unmarried women without title. The nobility lent these lists considerable cachet, and so may seem to 'arrive' more than once on a visit.SMITH. Cost: £6.00. | Sample scan, click to enlarge

Wandsworth Baptisms
(1785)
The ancient parish of Wandsworth in Surrey comprised the single township of Wandsworth, including the hamlets of Garratt, Half Farthing and Summers Town. It lay in the archdeaconry of Surrey of the diocese of Winchester: unfortunately, few bishop's transcripts of Surrey parish registers survive earlier than 1800. Although the original parish registers of Wandsworth doubtless commenced in 1538, the volume(s) before 1603 had been lost by the 19th century. In 1889 a careful transcript by John Traviss Squire of the first three surviving registers was printed, and we have now indexed it year by year. The baptism registers from 1775 to 1788 normally give date of baptism, and the names of the child and its father and mother, as well as date of birth.SMITH.
