Food

2023-10-13 12:00:10 UTC

Most of the food eaten in the 1700’s were varieties of meat, occasionally eaten with vegetables. Oleo, Beef, Venison, Mutton, Turkey, Ducks, and even Pigeons were on the menu. During this period, meat was widely consumed by peasants and nobles alike, although venison was seen as a symbol of the highest status. A person who could serve venison either owned a vast amount of property or knew someone who did. Although the English were highly adept at cooking meat during this time, a Swedish tourist remarked that they, “Did not seem to have talent in any other arenas of cooking.” Hot meals were only served when guests were present, and most English people ate their meals served cold. Despite such a large selection, the quality of meat was rather poor in this time period because of its popularity. Large amounts had to be shipped from the farms to the cities, and during these trips the meat would become damaged and spoiled in most cases. Very few people had a choice, though, as this meat was usually their only food (excluding wine, bread, and cheese). Only a select few among the wealthy had access to to fruit, and even then the British feared them because they thought fruit would give someone indigestion or the plague. Fruit was also very dirty, and som vendors used saliva in. An attempt to clean it. Vegetables, on the other hand, were considered a luxury, and were either served as secondary dishes or delicacies. Other foods included on an English menu would be:

Cheese (no less than 40 types being documented)
Sugar (With the typical English individual consuming about 4 kilograms per year
Bread (widely distributed, and almost always containing alum, a bleaching ingredient thought to make break look bigger)
Milk (drunk watered down or straight from the cow)
Tea (Officially the national drink, yet very expensive)
Coffee (thought to “increase reproductive capabilities on men”, extremely popular in London)
Soup (containing a variety of vegetables, bread, and rice, although in very little amounts compared to the soup itself)
Gruel (composes of boiled oatmeal and a pinch of butter, often containing alcoholic beverages such as wine or beer, especially popular because of the way it compensated for the lack of central heating in drafty houses)

Medicine in the Enlightenment

2023-10-13 12:07:17 UTC

In the 17th-18th century there were a lot of diseases around. There are only two types of diseases sthenic and asthenic (strong and weak). 18th century London doctors were leaders in surgery and obstetrics. John Hunter and William Hunter did research on human anatomy and physiology and founded surgical pathology. Male doctors could now help women in childbirth, William Smellie was the leader obstetrician. Science of modern pathology also began around in this era. Giovanni Batista Morgagni, who made (The Seats and Causes of Diseases Investigated by Anatomy), showed a description of appearances by postmortem examination of nearly 700 cases, in which he tried to correlate the findings after death with the clinical picture in life. Hygiene and health were improving during the 18th century with these doctors studies. Hospitals just started coming around during this time and suggestions arose concerning health legislation

Article life in the 1700s

mramire13 — 2023-10-13 12:10:57 UTC

In the 1670’s and 1750’s, changes had transformed both the public social lives and private family lives of the British people. This had increased literacy and this would lead to the Restoration to the British increasing public life. Family’s lives were separated into two roles. The role of men and woman. Men would not have it hard on them while woman would because they would be working hard in the household for men. Marriage would be connected with social class. Woman were seldom married into lower social rungs. When Divorce’s would happen they were carried out through Parliament and was a lengthy and extremely expensive process reserved mainly for the bourgeois. For the Education rich children both boys and girls were sent to petty school. But the only boy were allowed to go to elementary school or grammar school. Girls would be taught only what woman should do in a household whiles boys would get their education. The clothing for woman was stays or corsets. These would keep woman’s posture up for their good. Men clothing would be bland haircuts or even wigs which would be very long. They would wear coats, vest, and suits. Their entertainment were outdoors and mostly English people would be the ones playing. There was Ice skating in the winter which was very dangerous. Boating, and hunting during the fall. Plays would also begin and opera which was produced in the 1728 in the theaters. Art shows and wax figures became very popular.

Education in the 1700s

jsanche2_ — 2023-10-13 12:30:22 UTC

Although education materials such as primers and hornbooks had already existed before the 18th century. It was a trend to make sure that everything for children had some sort of didactic value(intended primarily to teach rather than to entertain).

John Locke was a very influential seminal. He was so influential that many education writers took their cues from John lockes seminal. Where john Locke famously argued against any “physical punishment of the children because of their little transgressions. Except for the cases where the child enviced a “manifest perverseness of the Will”.” he highly believed that children would learn much better if they were disciplined while being rewarded or shamed instead of physical punishment.

Most children writers have adapted Lockes way of thinking but others think its not beneficial. The majority of children that were able to have an education where of middle class. Upper and lower classes were not as interested in an education and it wasn't a concern for them.

Poverty:

stekale — 2023-10-13 12:35:30 UTC

- The lower middle class included artisans, shopkeepers, & tradesmen.
- It included all who worked in rural areas, did menial jobs, & the “urban laboring poor,” who worked in the country.
- Their labor made commodities available & cheap, but the idea of slavery as wrong was extremely prevalent.
- No matter the protest through, the labor & trade continued until its abolition in 1833.
- Was the key to wealth, power, & property could be purchased.
- Women would give birth to 8-10 children, due to high mortality rates, only raised 5-6 children.
- Average age of children or poor families began working very early on in life, sometimes even as early as age 7.
- They worked mostly on farms as shepherds, or apprentices & often left home to do so.
- Daughters of these families remained home, often aiding the matriarch of the household until they found a husband & started a family of their own.
- The oldest son of each family would stay as home as well, in order to inherit the farm.
- England did not yet have have the luxury of piped water, which created a rarity in bathing.
- Because of the unhygienic lifestyle, lice & vermin were very common with these families.
