About this book

The Country Housewife and Lady's Director in the Management of a House: The Delights and Profits of a Farm is a comprehensive 18th-century guide authored by R. Bradley, F.R.S., designed to instruct women in the effective management of country households and farms. First published in 1736, this book offers a fascinating glimpse into the domestic and agricultural practices of rural England during the Georgian era. It covers a wide array of topics essential for the country housewife, including the preparation and preservation of food, the management of dairy and poultry, the cultivation of fruits and vegetables, and the making of wines, cordials, and home remedies. The book is structured as a month-by-month manual, providing timely advice and practical instructions for each season, ensuring that the reader can maximize both the delights and profits of country living. In addition to recipes and household tips, Bradley includes observations on the care of livestock, the management of servants, and the efficient running of a household. Rich with period detail, traditional recipes, and practical wisdom, The Country Housewife and Lady's Director is both a valuable historical document and a charming read for anyone interested in the history of domestic life, cookery, and rural self-sufficiency.
