The "every man thinks about the Roman Empire at least once a day" factoid is actually just statistical error. Romanus Georgus, who lives under the Ara Pacis and thinks about the Roman Empire 10,000 times per day is a statistical outlier and should not be counted

I really liked Mary Barton by Elizabeth Gaskell, especially the nuanced, sympathetic, and realistic portrayal of Manchester's working class. But then the main characters moved to Toronto, Canada to work at a foundry because he's an engineer and um...

I see a long, low, wooden house, with room enough and to spare. The old primeval trees are felled and gone for many a mile around; one alone remains to overshadow the gable-end of the cottage. There is a garden around the dwelling, and far beyond that stretches an orchard.

This is Toronto, Canada, circa 1850:

And Gaskell should have known this because she knew Charles Dickens and he visited!

In 1841, the first gas street lamps appeared in Toronto. Over 100 were installed that year, in time for author Charles Dickens' visit in May 1842. Dickens described Toronto as "full of life, motion, business and improvement. The streets are well-paved and lighted with gas." Dickens was on a North American tour.

I'm sure there were log cabins in rural Ontario but realistically, these people are in an apartment building.
