Late Victorian era handbook for the Southern lady to run her household, including recipes for food, cleaning fluids, and many instructions for house keeping in general.

This is a compilation of recipes from women in the 1860's-1870's. Very interesting how things were done then, and it makes me all the more grateful that I was born 100 years later! The recipes are not very practical for our times. Unless you want to go out back and wring a chicken's neck.
