NOTE: I recently acquired a wonderful collection of antique cookbooks, receipts books, etc. Some I have offered on eBay already. Some are currently at auction right now, while still others are waiting to be auctioned in coming days and weeks. If you love to collect these old volumes of cookery, "domestic economy," formularies, etc., I urge you to visit my auctions frequently to see what each new day brings. Thank you for your interest in my books. DESCRIPTION: This a handsome 1878 edition of the HOUSEHOLD AND FARMERS’ CYCLOPEDIA by Daniel R. Shafer. This large Victorian guide was written and published for “the Farmer, Mechanic, Housewife, the rich and the poor.” It contains a wealth of helpful, how-to period information on: Farming Orchards and Gardens Horse Care, Medicine and Management Raising and Breeding Livestock, including Dogs Dairy Management Bee-Keeping Curing and Storing Meats Fish Culture Preserving and Canning Fruits and Vegetables Household Economy Cookery Home Remedies and First Aid Dyes and Dyeing House-Building, Mechanical and Trades The book is separated into roughly three sections. Approximately half the book is devoted to farming in all its forms: agriculture, livestock, veterinary care, dairy, horticulture, and orchard management, including bee-keeping and insect pest control. The next part covers the household and domestic arts: cookery, home medicine, preserving fruits and vegetables, curing of meats, dyeing, etc. The remaining portion consists of sections on house-building and construction, mechanical topics, also a section on fish culture. (A full accounting of the Contents can be found further down the page). The Preface states: For years a book such as the HOUSEHOLD AND FARMERS’ CYCLOPAEDIA has been needed by the public,.and especially by the American Farmer, but up to this time nothing has appeared to supply the want. A glance at the within pages will satisfy any one of the great importance of such a demand, and the only wonderis, that such a book as the HOUSEHOLD AND FARMERS’ CYCLOPAEDIA has never before been published, for its value cannot be estimated by dollar and cents. It is complete in every particular in which it is possible for such a book to be complete; and, in addition to this, it is sufficiently suggestive in many other respects to induce its readers to read more, to think more, to experiment more, and to become more intelligent and more successful in the management of their business, as well as really happier and wiser men and women. This book is intended especially for the use of those practical working men and women – the Farmer, Mechanic, Housewife, the rich and the poor – who are willing to believe that, while they have learned much from experience, it is not impossible that others may have learned something too – something that it may benefit them to learn also … To give you a better idea of all the useful information you’ll find in the HOUSEHOLD AND FARMERS’ CYCLOPEDIA, I’ve created a detailed summary of the Contents below. I hope you’ll take a moment to have a look. Don't miss your opportunity to add this antique 1878 Victorian farm and household guide to your own collection!

Seller Notes

“VERY GOOD ANTIQUE CONDITION. Exterior has wear as shown in photo. Firm, strong binding. Text is clean and complete. ALL SIX COLOR PLATES PRESENT AND IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. No torn, detached or disfigured pages. Really a very nice example of this extremely scarce Victorian farm and household guide.”
