Initial review
An interesting article. It has the makings of a GA, but it does not fully comply with the requirements, see WP:WIAGA, so I'm putting the GAN On Hold so that these can be addressed.

In particular: '''Done. Lead sxpanded.''' ItsLassieTime (talk) 16:36, 12 March 2009 (UTC) '''Done...except for the quotation from the Edinburgh Encyclopedia. I cannot locate this.''' ItsLassieTime (talk) 05:24, 12 March 2009 (UTC) Corrected. ItsLassieTime (talk) 03:57, 12 March 2009 (UTC) '''Done. Page number provided.'''

 * The WP:lead is too short. It is required to both introduce the topic (which it does) and summarise the main features (which it does not).
 * The article contains many block quotations, which is acceptable; however, in-line citations must be provided linking these quotations to their sources.
 * Note 1 is a broken link.
 * Pepys is used as a citation, but the reference given is merely a link to Google book search. The relevant page numbers should be provided.

Thanks for making these corrections, I'll continue now with the GA review.Pyrotec (talk) 17:22, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

I'm satisfied that the article meets the requirements of GA, so I'm awarding GA-status without further delay. Congratulations on the article.Pyrotec (talk) 17:22, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
