-I. Bits & Bobs.
[Surgeon’s] base salary was £5 per month, plus £5 for ever 100 cases of venereal disease they treated […] The venereal disease component of this was financed by fining men with gonorrhea (“gleet”) or syphilis (“pox” or “great pox”).
-A Sea Of Words, Dean King
Stephen is a doctor.
I am not a doctor.
!!CONFLICT!!
thus, another riveting episode of Bits & Bobs.

The bloggin bout maturins tag on my tumblr has a few choice quotations from Dean King's Sea Of Words.
Bush's historical doodads are also of use, if only because they focus more on social life and the general sphere of historicallyness, which this one shies away from since MEDICINE things I don't know about. also THE CLASSICS with which I have only a passing familiarity, and CATHOLICISM/CHRISTIANITY which to me are terribly perplexing little mysteries. Also, Tharkay's Regency Period Talkie Guide wouldn't go amiss.
Mostly, though, my copy of Sea of Words is invaluable. And dog-eared all to hell and back.
a lot of this will be restating things you can easily find elsewhere, like wikipedia or the above listed links. the way my brain works, though, i have to restate or quote things for any amount of research to really stick. Thus.
