"When Harriet was at home, she was the hostess and helped to entertain Buchanan’s many guests. These visits became a large part of her education.

Many observed and marveled at Hallie’s eerie knack with whatever it was she was doing and with whomever she was speaking.

Mr Buchanan’s niece (Miss Lane) has an English rather than American aspect –

being of stronger outline than most of our girls, although handsomer than English women generally and of better manners than any I have seen.

Extremely self-possessed and well poised,
without affectation or assumption, but quietly conscious of rank,

I must write you, dear Lily,
though, as yet I have not much of interest to relate, concerning myself. – I only arrived here on Saturday evening (April 29th) and until presented to the Queen, will not be fairly in the “London world.” Everything is as comfortable and agreeable as possible, about my home – all things promise to me a pleasant visit.

I was gratified to see the manner of conducting a public dinner here, but without doubt, our people are more prompt and eloquent – in fact, I have seen no improvements upon our country, except in servants, – here they are most respectful and respectable.

Tonight I go to the Opera, with Mr. Peabody and a party he has formed for me. He is a younger looking man than I had expected to see, & seems very good and kind hearted.

Tomorrow and Saturday I go to dinner parties, and I suppose will be fairly launched in the gay world, after next week.

Because her uncle caused a stir the year before when he presented himself before the Houses of Parliament for wearing merely his black suit, Harriet prepared for her debut

When May 11th came, Harriet stepped before the Queen and Prince Albert – likely wearing her domed and bell-shaped hoop skirt, supported by crinoline petticoats, with deep flounces or tiers, long bloomers and pantaloons trimmed with lace.

In the 1850s, women’s skirts were domed and bell-shaped, supported by crinoline petticoats. They often featured deep flounces or tiers. Long bloomers and pantaloons trimmed with lace were popular. Tiered cape-jackets were fashionable, as were paisley patterned shawls. Deep bonnets were worn and hair was swept into buns or side coils from a centre parting.

With judging eyes all around, she descended gracefully in a low slow perfect bow before Victoria then, ascending back up.

Victoria would, not long after, declare Harriet "consort to the Ambassador" giving her all the privileges and entree of an ambassador’s wife.

Description
This newspaper report provides details on the Charge of the Light Brigade at the Battle of Balaklava of the Crimean War. The charge took place on 25 October 1854; this newspaper report dates from 13 November, and attempts to clarify the muddied details and the numbers of killed and wounded.

The Times newspaper sent their own war correspondent, William Howard Russell, to the Crimean War. This was a significant move in journalism: for the first time, the British public could learn about the realities and horrors of war as it unfolded.

The next significant artist to illustrate the short novel was Harry French, who provided a comprehensive programme of a frontispiece and nineteen full-size (generally half- page) plates for the Household Edition published by Chapman and Hall in the 1870s (134 pages, double- columned as are those in Household Words are). The following illustrations appear compliments of The Dickens House Museum, 48 Doughty Street, London WC1N 2LX.
