Description:

MOORE\'S UNIVERSAL ASSISTANT was first published in 1879. It\'s a rare treasury of practical, useful and long-lost recipes and how-to instructions for householders, merchants, craftsmen and artisans. The quantity of information this book contains is staggering: Recipes. Cures and first aid. Household hints. Farm facts and fixes. Bee keeping. How to make all kinds of dyes. A lengthy section on watch-making and watch/clock repair, jewelry making, gold and silver plating, gold and alloys, etc. Practical information and advice for tradesmen and mill owner/operators. And much, much more.

Down below you’ll see that I tried my best to give you some idea of just how extensive the range of information is in this book. I went as far as I could – and still more than half of what’s in this book didn’t make it on to this page! It isn’t often that a book defies my ability to fully describe its contents, but this is one of those occasions. So after you spend a few minutes browsing through the summaries I created below, pause and remind yourself that we’ve only scratched the surface of the 19th-century wisdom contained herein. Good luck, and I hope to see you at the close of the sale!
