Excerpt from The American Domestic CyclopediaThe object of this volume is to provide a helpful assistant, guide and counsellor to the housewife, which may be consulted at all times and in any emergency, and it is believed that the information herein contained will save labor, time and money in every household wherein the book shall find a place. An attempt has been made, in the compilation of the book, to include every subject in which woman is interested, wherein information of a practical nature can be imparted through pu'nted instructions. Con sequently not only are the various practical and necessary duties of woman helpfully treated, but considerable space is likewise given to the more fan ciful employments of the sex, as for instance fancy work, embroidery, lace making, home decoration, painting, fioriculture, etc. It may be said that the work is an epitome of nearly all that may he learned from books upon the twin subjects of housekeeping and homemaking. Nor has the social side of woman's existence been neglected, as a perusal of the excellent departments of Etiquette and Home Amusements will abundantly testify.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
