1881 Reference Book

[Dutch Limbach]

I originally posted this on the NCOWS Forum. St. George thought there might be some folks here that would enjoy this site, so he asked me to post it here.

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.

PS- I like the looks of this forum and will probably be checking back a lot more often.

Dutch,

Thanks - on both counts - and I look forward to seeing you more often.

Vaya,

Scouts Out!

Thanks for this link. I downloaded and printed the whole 800-odd pages (at work - shhh!) and I keep it at our building at Laredo Western Club in Kent, England. It's invaluable reference material when you don't have access to a PC. No, I haven't read it all
