B EETON’S BOOK OF HOUSEHOLD MANAGEMENT 
(by Mrs. Isabella Beeton). Commenced October 1, 1859. Published in 
Monthly Parts, price 3 d. each, complete in 24 Parts. — If a continuous and in- 
creasing sale of any book relating to Household Management is to be taken as 
a test of excellence, then must this take the foremost place of all such books as 
have preceded it. Beeton’s Book of Household Management not only 
gives every kind of practical information regarding the domestic economy of 
a house, but gives a comprehensive history of the origin, properties, and uses of 
all things connected with home life and comfort. It is, therefore, invaluable as 
a family book, whilst it is profusely illustrated with wood-cuts and with coloured 
engravings, executed in the first style of art. It comprises information for the 
Mistress — Housekeeper — Cook — Kitchen-Maid — Butler — Footman — Coachman — 
Valet — Upper and Under House-Maids — Lady’s-Maid — Maid- of- All- Work — 
Laundrv-Maid — Nurse and Nurse-Maid — Monthly, Wet, and Sick Nurses, &c. &c. ; 
also. Sanitary, Medical, and Legal Memoranda. 
The Publisher confidently recommends the Book of Household Manage- 
ment, as one that will, from its varied and comprehensive usefulness, save money, 
every day in the year, to those who will take it as their guide. 
The complete Volume, handsomely bound in cloth, will be published 
October 15th, 1861, price 7s. 6c?. Covers for binding, price Is. 6c?. 
B EETON’S book of garden management. 
Commenced October 1, 1861. Published in Monthly Parts, price 3c?. each. 
To be completed in 15 Monthly Parts. Garden Cultivation is so closely asso- 
ciated with Household Economy, that the “ Book of Garden Management” 
naturally presents itself as an almost necessary pendant to the “ Book of House- 
hold Management.” Emulating this work, now successfully completed, the object 
of the editor and contributors to the “ Book of Garden Management” will 
be to render everything connected with the garden plain and intelligible. The 
principal contributors are practical and experienced gardeners. The information 
conveyed will be “ clear, direct, and definite,” and will embrace everything con- 
nected with Laying Out and Planting Gardens — Fruit, Flower, and Kitchen 
Garden Management — Building, Arranging, and Management of Greenhouses, 
and other Garden Structures — Decorative Gardens — Spade Husbandry and Allot- 
ment Cultivation — A copious Monthly Calendar of operations in each department — 
Orchard Cultivat : on, the Management of Orchard-Houses, and the Management of 
Be es. E ach Part will cont ain forty-eight pages, printed in various-sized type according 
to the importance of the subject, and interspersed with illustrations. While adopt- 
ing the form of a monthly calendar in twelve out of the fifteen parts, much of the 
repetition so objectionable and so tedious in that form of conveying information 
will be obviated by the introduction of the History and Cultivation of the several 
plants, in the proper month for propagating them, thus bringing each subject 
before the reader in its proper season. The Management of Bees is so closely 
associated with the Garden and Garden Economy, that the Apiary forms a natural 
appendage to them. Some pages will, therefore, be devoted to the management 
of these interesting creatures, and to the best form of habitation for them.
