Book excerpt: Excerpt from Manual of Practical Housekeeping: The Ousehold Treasure The first edition of the Household Treasure was launched into being, with no expectation that another would be needed; but it has met with such unexpected favor that the second is sent forth, with the hope that it will meet as favorable a reception as the first, and that they will indeed prove treasures in many households. It can hardly fail to be successful in meeting the wants of many, in that the information it contains is such as has been "weighed in the balance and (not) found wanting." It was specially requested, when the work was commenced, that it might be a book that would be of service to novices in the art of attending to the "creature comforts of the inner man," and it has been the endeavor to make it such. In some instances, directions have been given so minutely that experienced housewives might say, "that is unnecessary. Every one knows that." But it is a lamentable fact, that many take upon themselves the care of a household, without any practical knowledge of the duties of the position. It is comely to look upon from the outside, but when once within the complicated machinery, the multiplicity of wheels to be set in motion, convinces one of the necessity of a knowledge of what to do and when to do it. This work does not pretend to be perfect in every part. Far from it. There will be, as in everything human, room for criticism. It is however, plain, practical and sensible, as far as it goes. Thanks are due to those who have so kindly and promptly responded to the request for information desired. Some things were sent with no name attached. So, although such may be found with no "vouch" for them, you may feel sure that they have all been tested. We think the inserted blank leaves will meet the approbation of friends, as new receipts are constantly being obtained, which it is desirable to have a place for. "A place for everything and everything in ace," should be the motto of every practical housewife. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
