Home circle series "School-days in 1800: or, education as it was a century since" by Lucy Ellen Guernsey is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This book likely explores the daily experiences, educational practices, and family life of children in early America, vividly recalling a time quickly fading from living memory. It is presented through the reminiscences of Olivia Brown, as recorded by her great-granddaughter, and offers a firsthand perspective on what education and childhood entailed during that era. The opening of "School-days in 1800" introduces the memoir as a collaborative effort between elderly Olivia Brown and her great-granddaughter Alice, who records Olivia’s recollections while recovering from an injury. The early chapters establish Olivia’s family background in post-Revolutionary Massachusetts, describe her home life, and offer rich details of domestic routines, relationships, and the broader social context. Early memories include her first experience at church, the structure of household tasks, and poignant anecdotes such as the tragic incident with her beloved dog Bose. It also depicts Olivia’s first days at school—her anxieties, the customs of the classroom, and the subtle social dynamics among pupils and teachers—followed by accounts of peer influences, childhood mistakes, and lessons learned. The narrative immerses the reader in the rhythms of early American rural life, emphasizing both the seriousness and simplicity of education, family, and community.
