It is his belief as a Quaker that is quoted as causing the early editions of Bradshaw's guides to have avoided using the names of months based upon Roman deities which was seen as "pagan" usage. Quaker usage was, and sometimes still is, "First month" for January, "Second month" for February and so on. Days of the week were "First day" for Sunday and so on. Fitzgerald, Percy (1890).

This is Paris’s original “Grand Hotel,” the first large luxury hotel in France, the Grand Hotel du Louvre opened in 1855–just in time for the International Exhibition. It boasted some 300 richly decorated rooms, but in 1888 it had just been renovated, so guests were treated to an updated look. Coincidentally, the hotel is temporarily closed from January 2023 till some point this spring for yet another renovation. Maybe it’ll be a bit different to the hotel experienced by a Bradshaw traveller, but hey, it seems renovation and change was a thing even then.
