I was browsing the net last night and came upon a fascinating site called The Household Cyclopedia.
http://www.mspong.org/cyclopedia/contents.html

The Household Cyclopedia was first published in 1881, and claims to contain, "Over Ten Thousand Receipts In All The Useful And Domestic Arts;"

It does have a ton of information in it, and IMHO is worth checking out if you are interested in the lifestyle of the 1800s.
