Excerpt from The Queen of the Household: A Carefully Classified and Alphabetically Arranged Repository of Useful Information on Subjects That Constantly Arise in the Daily Life of Every Housekeeper
In 1882 we made our first venture in this line of publica tion in the successful housekeeper, and its reception has been so cordial as to be a very agreeable surprise to us. Nearly one hundred thousand copies have been sold and there is still a good demand for it.
Nothing earthly has yet reached that point where it can be marked perfect, and, as we looked over this first book, we recognized many crudities and not a few mistakes of arrangement, and like all who have an interest in their work these defects annoyed us.
Again, seven years have wrought wonderful changes and advances in every line of human industry, and home economy has changed with the other changing lines of progress. Many points, especially in the ceremonial, have become almost or quite obsolete, while other rules and Observances have arisen to take their places.
