Part of the New York literary scene, Elizabeth Fries Ellet was, in her early years as a writer, better known for her historical writings which, unique for the time, tended to concentrate on the ordinary lives of women, rather than more well-known political figures. At the height of her career, Ellet turned her attention to this work of domestic economy, publishing in 1872 The New Cyclopaedia of Domestic Economy. In this work, Ellet provides an American spin on European cooking and domestic practices, with sections on "Laying Out Tables and Folding Napkins," "Culinary Utensils," and "Cookery as an Art." Containing practical advice as well as recipes, Ellet claimed to have published, for the first time, several recipes from such famous New York restaurants as Delmonico's and Taylor's.

Originally published in 1901, the ""Physical Culture Cook Book"" represents the philosophy of physical culture, a combination of body-building with nutritional and health theories. Believing that ""food, properly cooked, properly eaten, in proper quantity has a vast influence upon the strength, beauty and suppleness of the body [and] [t]he brain, too, "" the recipes emphasize fresh foods, whole grains, and the proper combinations of foods. This book is an antecedent to today's slow foods and health conscious living movements.

Originally published in Oakland, California in 1882, The California Practical Cook Book is a collection of recipes, both culinary and household, gathered from Oakland women and published by a local Oakland printer, Pacific Press.

Originally published in 1856, William Ferguson's America by River and Rail, or Notes by the Way on the New World and its People is a diary of his impressions of his travels along the East Coast, out to the states of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, and Michigan, and through Montreal and Quebec. While his stated attempt is to provide a record of facts and opinions, to add to the mosaic of knowledge about America without entering himself into the discussion, Ferguson, nonetheless, shows us twosides of America. The first is the noisiest class, that of the politicians and money-getters from whom many previous writers take their impressions of America--much to the negative of her image. Ferguson, however, wants to display more richly that second class he encountered, the quieter, moral backbone of America, those upon whom, he hopes, America will build her future. He finds a society burgeoning with vast natural and human resources, and remarks upon the rapidity of growth in America, especially in the mid-western states. Full of rich detail, Ferguson's work provides insight into the culture and concerns of antebellum American life.

The first personality assessment book of its kind, this fun and innovative classic from 1927 helped set the standard for interactive gamebooks. Innovative co-authors Mary Alden Hopkins and Doris Webster helped establish our enduring fascination with self-improvement by cleverly formulating a personality test that employs the easy-to-use format of a game. Here's how it works. I've Got Your Number presents readers with a group of five categories containing five questions each. Your answers to the questions in each category determine your "number", and your number reveals insights into your personality gleaned directly from your responses. A wide range of categories provide a well-rounded accounting of your personal qualities. What attributes should you look for in your ideal romantic partner? How do you best thrive at work? What traits might be holding you back? These topics, and so many more, are addressed within the pages of this quality facsimile edition of the original book. This fun and useful framework for self-analysis has delighted readers for decades and set the stage for others to come. Before there was Myers-Brigges, there was Hopkins and Webster. Indeed, nearly one hundred years later, the personality assessment presented in I've Got Your Number proves that while times change, our quest for self-knowledge remains constant.

This 1887 book is ""a revised and enlarged edition of Buckeye Cookery and Practical Housekeeping,"" which has reached a sale of over ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND copies since its publication, three years ago.

Since then the book has been four times revised and enlarged, and all its local features dropped, and with them now disappears that part of the title which identified the book with the state where it originated.""
