       | Very interesting. But, they meant "genteel" class and not
       | "gentile" class, right?

       | Edit: I'm finding so many grammatical errors in this piece
       | ("Coaches now were now better sprung") that spelling errors are
       | hardly surprising.

         | Clearly you should expect unaccompanied females on an 1816
         | stagecoach journey to be Jewish.

         | Yeah, I had a clever rejoinder having something to do with
         | Jewish immigration rates in 1816...and then I read the rest of
         | the article and realized that it was probably one of the less
         | egregious errors in TFA.
         | 
         | It's an interesting article, no doubt, but be prepared to
         | reread a few sentences. It's almost as annoying as the large
         | amount of dns-prefetch going on to make sure those trackers
         | have their names resolved upfront. :-)

       | needs to do a thorough proofread of this post, and potentially
       | some editing.
