A cartoon from 1809 showing ten figures arranged in two rows. All represent classes of people impossible to find in society. Top row, from left to right: 'A Modest Woman of Quality', 'A Primitive Bishop', 'A Real Maid of Five and Thirty', 'An Exciseman with a Conscience', 'An Author with a Second Suit of Cloaths'. Bottom row, from left to right: 'A Great Man of Common Sense', 'A Woman who has continued three months a Widow', 'A Theatrical Hero of Modesty and Oeconomy', 'A Complete Honest Attorney', 'A Man of Talents, Wit and Learning possessed of a Thousand a Year'.

Someone needs to round up and capture these Dukes and study them for science. What is their secret to longevity? Are they cryptids? What is the source of their power?
A list of Dukes with their respective acreage of their land with the title “the farmers who have held their lands without tax for 1000 years”

To be on my ‘starter pack’ lists, you don’t need to be well-known or a ‘name’: you just need to be a historical wargamer or someone providing products, information or services relevant to the hobby and be willing to get followed by others of like mind. So just ask and you’re in!

I was just reminded that today is Shelley’s birthday.
Rise like lions after slumber In unvanquishable NUMBER! Shake your chains to earth, like dew Which in sleep had fall'n on you: YE ARE MANY-THEY ARE FEW.
