Items related to The Improved Housewife: Or Book of Receipts With Engravings...
Originally published in 1845, the no-nonsense tone of Webster's book undoubtedly accounted for its popularity: this comes through in her marketing advice ("Ducks: select such as have supple feet, and are hard and thick on the breast and belly"), and especially in the very last entry of her chapter on "Miscellaneous Receipts": "Punctuality: Fifteen minutes before the time."
