Practical Housekeeping

This 1887 book is ""a revised and enlarged edition of Buckeye Cookery and Practical Housekeeping,"" which has reached a sale of over ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND copies since its publication, three years ago. The first edition was published for a benevolent object, and necessarily had many purely local features. Since then the book has been four times revised and enlarged, and all its local features dropped, and with them now disappears that part of the title which identified the book with the state where it originated.""
