First edition of a detailed treatise on household management for young women, presented in epistolary form. It was to become very popular, running to several editions by the middle of the century, but the first edition is rare. Starting by establishing the principles of order and economy it proceeds to give advice on a suitable house, its furnishing (with chapters on the dining room, salon, bedrooms for both madame and monsieur, and kitchen). There is information on the linen provision and washing, and choice of fabrics, as well as on personal dress. Two of the longer chapters consider the appointment and operation of the wine cellar (over which the mistress of the house had control) and the kitchen, the latter with a selection of useful recipes and dishes.Though separately-published, it is one of the volumes of the series Encyclopédie des Dames issued by Audot from 1821, which provided titles useful and interesting to women, all in portable format like this. This copy was apparently a subscriber's copy, with the half-title bearing the printed statement 'Exemplaire imprimé pour la Bibliothèque de Mademoiselle Emma de Kolly', and it is therefore likely that the arms on the upper cover are also hers (though we have been unable to discover anything more about her). 18mo (132 × 80 mm), pp. [4], 239, [1], with half-title for the Encyclopédie des Dames, plus engraved frontispiece by Manceau after Choquet (this and the title with slight marginal browing). Contemporary green straight grain moroco, gilt, arms to upper cover. Slightly rubbed, but an excellent copy. [WorldCat finds only one copy of the first edition outside continental Europe (University of Michigan).].…
