See Wikipedia's 1810 Page and the 1810 Calendar; Brainy History also has a 1810 Page
Read texts of 1810, such as Martha Ballad's Diary, 1810;
Mary Brunton, Self-Control (Reprinted by Pandora Press) The heroine paints historical pictures to earn money and is pursued by a raping, murdering, kidnapping jerk who sends her off to the American wilderness. She escapes in a canoe and goes over a waterfall--don't look for much realism here.
Elizabeth Gunning [Mrs. Plunkett], Dangers Through Life: or, The Victim of Seduction; a Novel
Jane Porter, The Scottish Chiefs (Considered a children's classic, available) This is a novel about William Wallace, but, as with Mel Gibson's Braveheart, don't expect mere history. In this version, Wallace is involved in a love triangle after his wife dies.

Left: 1810, plate no. 1062. A simple white dress is accented with a ruff. The bonnet and trim on the hem add only a few touches of green. Wearing only white was seen as "classical dress," in keeping with the Regency misperception that ancient Greeks and Romans only wore white. Note the similarity to the dress in the David painting above.
Right: Male and female Walking Dress, 1810. The lady rests on a rock, sitting upon her cashmere shawl, so as not to muss her white muslin dress. Her high gloves come up almost to the bottom of her short sleeves. A lace veil falls from her bonnet. Her escort's clothes are designed to draw attention to his slim waist and accent the muscles of the waist and shoulders.
Left: Evening Dresses for the opera. The standing lady is in a dramatic dress of black slashed to reveal white satin beneath it. She wears a patterned turban and has a short cape clasped around her neck. The lady in the background of the picture wears a veil as part of her headdress. All three women have fans.
Right: A beautiful rose and pink ball dress with vandyke lace around the collar.
Left: A mother in morning dress reading to her young son.
Right: Bathing Place Dress. This unusual outfit features lace-trimmed pants as an undergarment that shows beneath the simple button-up-the-front dress. The laced sandals show the Greco-Roman influence on dress.
