    Description

    First Edition, Publishers' Original Binding

    Written by Mary Virginia Terhune (1830-1922) under the pseudonym Marion Harland. Terhune was a most prolific writer of both fiction and non-fiction works. In particular, her domestic writings were extremely popular and sold a profuse number of copies. This was Terhune's follow-up to her most popular work and her first piece of non-fiction, 'Common Sense in the Household: A Manual of Practical Housewifery', and subsequent in the series.

    A first edition.

    Contains chapters on gravy, whipped cream, ripe fruit, croquettes, breakfast and waste.


    Condition

    In the publisher's original full cloth binding. Externally a trifle rubbed, with the detail to the front boards and spine having worn away, and a touch of bumping to the head and tail of the spine. Internally generally firmly bound, hinges are straining but firm. Pages are generally bright and clean if a touch aged toned; pages bound to the rear to be filled in by the reader contain a number of pencil recipes.

    Very Good
