The Historical Pastime game first appeared in 1802 and was regularly updated with the changing monarchs until the reign of Queen Victoria.First item: This historical race game, devised specifically for the education of young children, has 158 playing spaces numbered in a clockwise direction. They represent events and characters in English history from William I to George III. The Rules booklet here present is dated 1810. It clearly a reprint of the booklet that was first issued with this game edition (as indicated by the title and by the phrase on page [7] ‘... ending with the Accession of George the Third’). However, the final paragraph on page 47, which originally simply read ‘Son of Frederick, Prince of Wales, and grandson of George the Second, ascended to the throne in 1760’ has been updated by the addition of a description of George III’s reign. In 1810, John Harris published ‘The Jubilee’, a new game which focused on the years of George the Third’s reign, therefore this updated Rules booklet must have had a very short lifespan, as it was almost immediately superseded by the new game (see below). Second item: This variation on Harris’s Historical Pastime games was designed as a sequel to their first game of that name, picking-up where that game ended at the ascension of George III and continuing through the 50 years of his reign until the date of publication.

Unusually for the time Mr Armitt wanted to give his talented daughters a first class education, but in 1867 this plan went awry when their father died suddenly leaving the trio facing severe financial difficulties. Undaunted however, together they opened a school in Eccles, Lancashire, which thrived, allowing them to travel and continue their own studies.In 1912 the youngest sister, Mary Louisa, founded The Armitt Library, now known as The Armitt, a museum, library and gallery, devoted to preserving and sharing the cultural heritage of the Lake District. Beatrix Potter was one of the Armitt’s earliest supporters, and the collection holds a number of her family’s books, her own first edition copies of her books, and a large number of botanical watercolours by her. Annie Armitt married Stanford Harris in 1877 and went to live near Hawkshead in the Lake District. In 1882 Mary and Sophia received a substantial legacy and in 1894 they moved to Rydal, where they lived with Annie, now widowed, for the rest of their lives. Here the sisters enjoyed socialising with a large circle of distinguished friends, including John Ruskin as well as Beatrix Potter.
