Note 36 — JOURNAL OF ELIZABETH LADY HOLLAND
Reading edition
Among Marie Caroline’s favourite schemes for the social and mental improvement of her people was the foundation of an ideal colony of San Leucio, near Caserta. The inhabitants were subjected to a most rigid code of laws and regulations for religious and domestic observance. A copy of these ordinances, given to Lady Hamilton on this very occasion by the King, with the names of the party present in her own handwriting, is now in the British Museum (Sichel’s Emma, Lady Hamilton).
