First published 1825. A fascinating source of social history and a
guide to backstairs living in both large and modest houses of the
late Georgian era. Advice to employers and their servants from an
ex-butler and an ex-housekeeper, dealing not only with the kitchen
but also with the house, stables and garden, and with an unusual
section on menservants' duties over a period when little is known
about them. 30 categories of servants' duties are discussed, and
also the duties of employers toward them; these last are
surprisingly humane and tolerant. Introduction by Pamela Horn.
