About This Book

The collection comprises linked essays offering practical guidance and reflective commentary on domestic life, written from the perspective of a householder. Subjects range from distinctions between house-keeping and home-keeping, economy and the pursuit of beauty, to managing servants, cookery, household economy, and cultivating home religion. Anecdote and wry observation illustrate everyday dilemmas—furnishing, entertaining, and household labor—while mixing pragmatic tips with moral and aesthetic reflection aimed at making family life orderly, hospitable, and meaningful.
