BEECHER Catherine - BEECHER-STOWE Harriett - The House-Keeper's Manual, embracing a new revised edition of the american woman's home; or principles of domestic science.
New York, J.B. Ford and company, 1873.
Fort in-8, decorated brick publisher's percaline, 591 pp - 10 pp. This is a revised and enlarged edition by Catherine Beecher, who is none other than the older sister of Mrs. Beecher-Stowe, the famous author of "Uncle Tom's Cabin", with whom she co-wrote this book. With strong references to biblical scripture, the Beecher sisters' practical handbook uses science, religion, architecture and nutrition, as well as the author's own feminist philosophies, to focus on the family's physical and spiritual health. The second half of the book includes simple recipes for everything from potato soup and roast beef to delicacies such as "Veal Chease", marinade and tripe. In very good condition.
