Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book provides 18th-century insights into servants' treatment of their masters, property, and other servants. Originally written as advice for servants, the book sardonically advises servants to lie, steal, cheat, and generally avoid work at the expense of their masters. It provides the historical context for the relationship between the upper and servant classes and is full of anecdotes demonstrating how servants ruled the home when the masters were away. The author humorously depicts the abilities of butlers, cooks, and other servants to improve their lot at the expense of everyone else. By focusing on theft, lying, and abuse of property, this book illustrates the extreme measures servants took to fulfill their basic and often humorous needs.
