It was 18th century, but yes, you got me. I'm sorry. I thought that being humans on the 18th-century Earth and historical figures and gallivanting abroad in 1816, one could infer that their childhood was in the 18th century. I see the error of my ways now. Especially given that Mary's first trip abroad with Percy (in real universe) did happen when she was only 16. I'll clean this up.
