Beschreibung

Originally published in 1827, Roberts Guide for Butlers and Other Household Staff was a handbook for servants to perform their duties more efficiently and thoughtfully. Roberts gives a plethora of information about household duties of a butler like: How to dress suitably for work Regulations for the dinner table Directions for cleaning tea trays Giving Britannia metal a brilliant polish Preserving fruits for the year Addressing and behaving properly around your employer And many more insightsRoberts provides information on how to make the best-tasting lemonade; preserving good wine for years; not passing judgments on the other servants; never letting your master ring the bell for you twice; cleaning dirty tables with a mix of milk, turpentine, and sweet oil; rubbing off rust with salad oil and lime; and other useful tidbits for the curious butler. This is a fascinating look behind the scenes of household help and will delight any nineteenth century enthusiast.
