Home Making
I have the book "Home Making or The Ideal Family Life" by the Rev. J.R. Miller, D.D. Sixth edition. The hand written inscription in the front cover reads:To Mrs Walker Fletcher. On the occasion of her marriage with very best withes from her Pastor - James Barker. Bathurst St. Church Sydney. Feb 28th 1914.
INTRODUCTORY
---+---
This book is written in the hope that its pages may carry inspiration and a little help, perhaps, to those who desire to do faithful work for God within their own doors. Its aim is to mark out the duties and responsibilities of each memeber of the household, and to suggest how each may do a part in making the home-life what God meant it to be. J.R.M.

This book was written in 1882 and is already on the internet along with many of his other books.

So my work is done almost before it started. But what do you think?
how interesting! i'd read what you post on it.
How fascinating? How did you end up with this book? Thanks for showing where it is in on the Internet - I might have a wee read myself, but I'll be interested to see your own comments.
I found the book on my parents book shelf and read it in 1995 when I was reading books like that. My Mum may have got it at a garage sale, or had it for years I'm not sure.
And just when I thought I had something rare, I find its a popular book, on the internet, even on ebay!
