(*NEW ARRIVAL*) (General) Marion Harland. Common Sense in the Household: A Manual of Practical Houewifery

Brick cloth, gilt-lettered spine. First Edition. NY: Scribner's, [1871].

Common Sense in the Household was a popular 19th-century cookbook and guide to domestic management by Mary Virginia Terhune (writing as Marion Harland). It offers practical, conversational advice on cooking, cleaning, and child-rearing, with simple recipes for the era, and became a bestseller that launched Terhune's career as a domestic writer and cooking teacher. The book was translated into multiple languages and remains a valuable resource for understanding 19th-century American domestic life.

Rubbing to spine ends and a bit to extremities; front free endpaper lacking, otherwise about very good - an important first edition of Harland's classic work.
