29th edition. 380pp, printed in two columns. Green buckram-covered boards with gilt decoration on the upper panel and gilt lettering on the spine, blind toolwork decorations front and rear. 8vo. Boards quite heavily worn, rubbed and rounded on corners and spine ends, disfiguring but not damaging marks to cloth. Text block edges toned and softened, volume a little shaken. Hinges cracked, with a gift inscription inked on the front free endpaper and a recipe for Elderberry Wine pasted onto the front paste down. A little aging to pages else internally neat and clean.

A mid 19th century household encyclopaedia, immensely popular in its time, with hints, tips and guidance on Tests for the Adulteration of Food; Bee and Poultry Keeping; Reading to Children; Commercial and Monetary Hints and Maxims; Correct Speaking; Destruction of Vermin; Etiquette; Seasonal Food; Indoor Games; Legal Advice; Insurance; Wages – basically everything the mid-Victorian middle class lady running a household and family might need to know.
