Jane Ellen Panton (1847 1923) was the second daughter of the artist
William Powell Frith, and a journalist and author on domestic
issues. First published in 1887, this is the revised 1893 edition
of her guide for young married couples on how to set up their first
home. In it she draws on twenty-three years' experience of living
in London to advise on everything from choosing a house and
internal decoration to budgeting effectively and entertaining
friends. Updated extensively, the book contains a thorough index, a
selection of illustrations, and new information on many of the
topics discussed. The author devotes each chapter to a different
part of the house, and concludes by advising her readers to let
'love, beauty, carefulness and economy' rule their lives. Providing
revealing insight into domestic middle-class life in late
nineteenth-century England, this book remains of interest to
historians and sociologists.
