"Social England under the Regency, Vol. 1 (of 2)" by John Ashton is a detailed historical account written in the late 19th century. The book focuses on the social conditions and everyday life of England during the Regency period, particularly examining the notable figures, events, and customs of the time. It aims to provide readers with an authentic representation of society rather than merely recounting the actions of the elite. The opening of the book discusses the state of King George III.'s health, setting the stage for the establishment of the Regency government due to his mental illness. It highlights the public's interest in the King's well-being and the political implications of his condition, including preparations for a Regency if necessary. Ashton explores the King's love for music and his gradual recovery while also detailing the political maneuvering and social context surrounding the Regency Bill. This introduction establishes both the personal and political landscape of the era, suggesting a rich narrative filled with social commentary and historical significance.
