The education of young ladies

Posted by Mark on January 28, 1998 at 10:08:05:

In Darcy's famous letter, we read concerning Georgiana, "About a year ago, she was taken from school, and an establishment formed for her in London."

My question is two-fold.

1. Did they have schools that young ladies could attend? What were their nature?
   
2. What is an "establishment"?
