3.0 out of 5 stars An interesting read - especially on cleaning
Reviewed in the United States on April 28, 2012

This is a lovely old book. Charming. It doesn't contain much help for the modern home, but can be treated as a snapshot of social history. Chapters include Questions to ask your maid, discussing uniform requirements, whether to use candles, gas light or this modern electricity? There are some charming parts - what books should be on your shelf, how beds should be stripped and aired - not whether it should be done, but exactly how it should take place.

The part I was most interested in was how to soak strains in natural products and how to clean - before commercial products became regularly available. With a child who is allergic to many things I am going back to old fashioned methods - with the added benefits of being greener and cheaper! Books like this are priceless.

Five stars for the clean green information, one for the ancient irrelevant-in-today's-society stuff. Averaging three.

Worth a look if free!

4.0 out of 5 stars An interesting picture of days gone by

This book presents an interesting snapshot of past times. I would recommend this book to anyone doing research, and to anyone who enjoys books of this kind. I am not sure if this book was intended to be humorous, but it certainly is in many places! The obsession with white linens, curtains, etc, is rather comical to modern eyes, as is the insistence that bedspreads made with even one colored thread in the weave are in poor taste, and fit only for the maid's room. This author also seems to be concerned for the kind treatment of servants, which is a refreshing attitude for the day. All in all, an enjoyable look at the past.

4.0 out of 5 stars Oldie, but Goodie....
Reviewed in the United States on April 14, 2013

Somewhat outdated, but if you've lived in a variety of circumstances, as I have, over many decades, you will recognize the voice of sound advise and experience. If you have aquired a "dream home" and/or a generous income--pass on. Otherwise, there is much to be "gleaned" in this timeless offering. Recommended to the budget-restricted and to those who seek solice in apartments with carpy carpets and too little space as well as those who want to find good things in less-than-perfect accomodations. Price is right for those who know how to "read-between-the-lines..."

I can't get enough classic books on homemaking! This book is written for the woman that took care of every aspect of her home. And some of the tips work even in today's world.

4.0 out of 5 stars intrersting and bizare
Reviewed in the United States on October 27, 2011
i like the fact that even though this seems tobe writtem in the eighteenth century it still has a lot of info that is still true today. it shows how women from way back then thought and it gives u ideas and a clearer understanding for today. intresting read nut not very practical for today. read if u like history or housekeeping... the numbers are irritating though.
