Description: “This book was published in 1852, a year which was otherwise notable for the election of Franklin Pierce as a president of the United States and for the writing of Stephen Foster’s “Massa’s in de Cold Ground.” No author of the book is listed, although it was copyrighted by an E. Hutchinson. The book contains something for everyone. It contains sections on etiquette, grooming, family medicine, cooking, and even the management of canary birds. It was probably an invaluable reference work for homemakers of that day. The housewife who didn’t know how to make laundry soap could find out from this book, which includes a recipe “richly worth twenty dollars.” The book guarantees, in the language of modern detergent ads, that, if the housewife follows this recipe, she will not have to do any rubbing on her clothes.” This book is in good condition. It is a 1971 facsimile reprint of the original 1852. It has some spotting and discoloration from age, some edge-wear along the book. The pages are in good condition, no writing, tears, or folds. It has been well maintained over the years. Please see all photos.
