I've decided that I must acquire an 1860's copy of Mrs. Breeton's Book of Household Management.

We used to have a copy back home - a mid 20th century reprint but with the full patent medicine ads and such reproduced faithfully. A lot of the advice to young women especially was hilarious. If scary and corsety.
