Pages are very clean and intact except for light age toning throughout and the small occasional mark. Covers are very clean and intact except for light rubbing and slight wear to edges, corners, and outer joints. Binding is tight. A Very Good copy. A compilation of fictional lectures given by the titular Mrs. Caudle to her husband, Mr. Caudle. Replete with Victorian-era humor about marriage and domestic life. Most of the thirty-seven humorous lectures contained herein are each based on an offense that Mrs. Caudle perceives her husband to have committed. The narrative of this book is such that Mrs. Caudle typically waits for an exhausted Mr. Caudle to go to bed and then proceeds to lecture him about his transgression and how it will result in a series of calamities. In one of her lectures, Mrs. Caudle chastises Mr. Caudle for lending five pounds to an acquaintance. In her mind, this will cause a litany of problems for their family including, but not limited to, being bitten by a dog with rabies, being plagued by mice for want of mousetraps, facial disfigurement for their children because they cannot afford dental care, and even the death of their son because they cannot afford to fix his drafty bedroom window. Many of the lectures have postscript commentary by Mr. Caudle. He sometimes remarks on having heard Mrs. Caudle's voice trail off as he fell asleep mid-reprimand; at other times, he notes Mrs. Caudle mumbling incoherently mid-sentence as she fell asleep amid her own lecture. Mrs. Caudle's Curtain Lectures first appeared as a series in Punch magazine. The billhead that is laid in is presumably for the purchase of this copy by Jacques Levy (1935-2004), an American songwriter, theater director, and clinical psychologist based in New York. The billhead is on beige paper. It has a printed header in dark blue ink and Levy's information typed in black ink. The header reads, in part, "Chas. J. Sawyer, Ltd., Booksellers, 12 & 13 Grafton Street, London." The billhead is datelined March 9, 1962 in London. Levy's address is listed as 241 Central Park West in New York. Levy purchased one item from Chas. J. Sawyer, presumably, this 1866 copy of "Mrs. Caudle's Curtain Lectures." Postage and insurance are also added on the billhead.
