CASSELL'S HOUSEHOLD GUIDE To Every Department of Practical Life: Being a Complete Encyclopedia of Domestic and Social Economy.

Published by Cassell & Company, Limited, London, Paris, New York and Melbourne. Four 10" x 8" red cloth hardcovers decorated with gilt and black. Illustrated with color plates and black and white text illustrations. Volume I = 380 pages. Volume II = 380 pages.

Volume III = 364 pages. Volume IV = 380 pages.

Handsome, colorful exteriors as can be seen in photos. Some small inconspicuous splits in cloth along spine edges, possibly mended at some point. All four volumes are firmly bound, strong unbroken hinges. Here and there (remember, these books were used in a kitchen environment). Text looks good and clean. Oddly, volume I has a Volume IV title page. Publisher's error, I imagine.

A wonderful surviving example of this complete and very scarce Victorian four-volume set. There may be slight variations in foxing/toning, etc. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. In the Victorian age, European and American homemakers became infatuated with the concept of "domestic economy, " or the theory and practice of household management as both vocation and art. To aid housewives in the quest for perfect cookery and spotless, well-appointed homes, publishers on both sides of the Atlantic churned out cookbooks, receipt books, household manuals and etiquette guides in record numbers.

But of all the titles published from the 1870s to the 1890s, few could hold a candle to CASSELL'S HOUSEHOLD GUIDE. In terms of useful information and illustrated content, this handsome, four-volume set stands alone. It is at once a fully-stocked cookbook (complete with sections on French cuisine), a household advisor, a furnishing and decorating assistant, an etiquette consultant, a farm and livestock manual, a gardening how-to book, a treasury of hobbies and pastimes, an arts and crafts instructor, and a family home medical guide.

Profusely illustrated with full-page color plates and numerous text illustrations. The range of subject matter is as diverse as it is fascinating - cooking, baking, preserving and pickling. How to make home-made wines and beer. How to manage horses and cattle.

How to furnish and decorate a home in the Victorian manner. Home workshop and tool instruction.

All manner of household receipts. How to care for firearms, clocks, watches, barometers and other household items.

How to conduct oneself in social situations. How to handle a death in the household. How to raise well-mannered children. Dogs, cats and other household pets. Archery, photography, taxidermy and other hobbies and pastimes.

Ladies' fancy work, embroidery, knitting and crochet. How to make Christmas decorations, Easter eggs and Valentines.

Household first aid, medicine and how to care for the sick. This rare and complete 4-volume set is a priceless window into upper and middle-class life during the Victorian era, so complete that I daresay the only thing missing is Queen Victoria herself (although the book does contain sections on royalty). For your convenience, I have attempted to describe some of the books' contents below. It would take me weeks to properly and adequately describe the myriad subjects covered in these four beautiful volumes, so we must content ourselves with a brief overview only. Below I have treated many of the main topics and sections for your perusal, however please keep in mind that these books contain many more riches than are mentioned here - for example, all four volumes feature extensive sections on Home Medical Care, First Aid, Personal Hygiene and Fitness, etc.

However they are so detailed that I decided it would be better to describe them not at all than to give them short shrift with only a few sentences. Also, there are many sections that defy easy categorization. These I have cited by name only towards the end of my description, but rest assured that each receives due attention in the text of these books.

Below you will also find many examples of the beautiful illustrations in these volumes -- but not nearly as many as the books actually contain.
