In Katherine Mayo's book she describes him thus: > James Gordon, First Major of the Eightieth Foot, was, like his regiment, > Scot to the core. Middle-aged, tall, rather heavily built, one glance at the > man revealed his character. Frank as the sun and as friendly, brave to a > fault, and as generous, utterly self-forgetful in the face of others' needs, > neither the activity of his mind nor the dignity and cheerfulness of his > spirit would bow to the worst of days. His soldiership, as displayed in the > two past years of campaigning, had won him Lord Cornwallis' special praise - > coupled once with an aside: 'When I first knew Gordon, twenty years ago, gay > in gay London, who could have guessed how much lay in the man?’ In April 1782, a captain of the Monmouth Militia and privateer named Joshua Huddy was overwhelmed and captured by Loyalist forces.

A plate from The Ferns of Great Britain and Ireland, a book from the era of pteridomania Pteridomania, meaning Fern Madness or Fern Craze, a compound of Pteridophytes and mania, was coined in 1855 by Charles Kingsley in his book Glaucus, or the Wonders of the Shore: > Your daughters, perhaps, have been seized with the prevailing > 'Pteridomania'...and wrangling over unpronounceable names of species (which > seem different in each new Fern-book that they buy)...and yet you cannot > deny that they find enjoyment in it, and are more active, more cheerful, > more self-forgetful over it, than they would have been over novels and > gossip, crochet and Berlin-wool. According to one author: > Although the main period of popularity of ferns as a decorative motif > extended from the 1850s until the 1890s, the interest in ferns had really > begun in the late 1830s when the British countryside attracted increasing > numbers of amateur and professional botanists. New discoveries were > published in periodicals, particularly The Phytologist: a popular botanical > miscellany, which first appeared in 1844. Ferns proved to be a particularly > fruitful group of plants for new records because they had been studied less > than flowering plants.
