There once was a boy with a hoop Who rolled it from lamp-post to stoop But Babbage saw red Yelled, “You’ll knock a horse dead!” Most dismissed him as just an old poop. (In the 1860s, Babbage blamed hoop-rolling boys for not controlling their iron hoops, which could damage horses' legs) #WIPSnips

Mrs. Beeton's Book of Household Management was originally printed in 1861. That version is long out of print, and over the years updated versions have been produced. In 1969, a "first edition facsimile" was issued, which in retrospect is rather amusing. (continued in comments)

Welp. These 149 pages ain't gonna format themselves. Magic Keurig, send help in a cup!
