(*NEW ARRIVAL*) (Economy) Catherine Owen. Ten Dollars Enough: Keeping House Well on Ten Dollars a Week; How it has been done; How it may be done again

Brown cloth lettered in black, gilt-lettered spine. First Edition Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 1888.

An instructor for housewives new and old on how to save money, written as a story with characters. Recipes are included within the prose, in paragraph form, including young beets boiled, boiled corned beef, boiled mutton...you get the gist. Sample accounting books are also present. All in all, a fascinating look at Victorian economy in America in 1888.

Owner's name, dated 1888, to front free endpaper. Very good.
