What Can it Be; or, the Fact Gamily Travelling Incognito. Edited by Lady Caroline Eliot, 1 vol. with Illustrations.
The travels of the Fact Family are rather discursive, but they are very amusing, being quite out of the common track. They are addressed principally to the young, and exhibit considerable knowledge of the world and of the byeways of life in a form to catch their attention. The satire is playful and good tempered, and is a sort of cross between Gay and Gulliver --- for the Fact Family are a little given to fable. But nothing is overdone, and the volume is just of a length to meet the subject, so that it wiles away an hour very agreeably. It is elegantly got up and handsomely bound, while the price is only five shillings; making it very suitable for a gift book and placing it within easy reach.

ST. GERMANS.
Two windows have been just placed in St. Germans' Church. One on the south side is in memory of Lady Caroline Eliot, and is the gift of Lord Eliot. The other at the east end is the gift of the Hon. H.C. Eliot, and commemorates the life of his aunt, Lady Louisa Cornwallis. Both are exquisitely handsome. The delicate work was confided to Messrs. Burlison and Grylls, Oxford-street, London.

Lady Caroline Georgiana Eliot, headmistress
She was recipient of sums from Charlotte Mary Yonge from 1856, headmistress of a large [for then] girls' school, St. Michael's College, Bognor. This was a school associated with the Woodard schools, and closed, as St. Michael's, Petworth, in 1994. She was eldest daughter of William, 2nd Earl of St. Germans (1767-1845). Her stepmother Susan Mordaunt was the aunt of Mary Anne Dyson's friend Mary (Mordaunt), Lady Acland. [PB; 1861 census] Her successor as headmistress of St. Michael's was Frances Wheeler.

About 1852 was the date when first I knew of the 'Woodward Schools' & my father at once threw himself into the plan of founding Church Schools for the middle classes (boys & girls). A spiritual daughter of Mr Woodwards* began St. Michaels School for girls, at Brighton, which has now developed in to St Michaels' School - Bogner.** Miss Rooper who began the School, was the daughter of a clergyman who lived on his own means, in a large house at Brighton - he was very Protestant & would not consent to his daughter dedicating her life to GOD, & the Church - so all she could do was to visit her little school daily & impart to the children, the Church's Truth & very deep spirituality, and rules of self-discipline and mortification. My sister & I were placed under her care for a year, & she did much for our inner life & helped us greatly. She afterwards died when the School was in its infancy - Lady Caroline Eliot came forward to take up this work as a Church work & carried it to Bogner.
*Nathaniel Woodward (1811-91), who established affordable schools for the middle classes, and a friend of Oakeley.
** The school was founded in 1856 and moved to Petworth when the second world war broke out, where it remained.
--- "Handbook for Travellers in Sussex" John Murray, 1877, page 76:
Bognor (Pop. 2,811), lying 3-1/2 miles S. (Innds: Norfolk Hotel; Sussex; Claremont), is like the other small watering-places on this coast, and is advancing; en Esplanade and Pier has been formed. It is, however, still dull, and the climate is as mild as that of Worthing. At Bognor is St. Michael's College, an establishment for female education, founded by the late Lady [Caroline] Georgiana Eliot, and conducted on similar principles to St. Nicholas College at Lancing.
The country around Bognor is perfectly flat, but there are some interesting points for visitors. . . . Close to the short, and extending about 2 m. inton the sea, are the so-called Bognor rocks, visible only at low water, fragments of a deposit which, even within the memory of man, formed a line of low cliffs along the coast. They are of a sandy limestone filled with fossils of the London clag, Nautili shells, and bored wood.
