The Golden Gems of Life | 1880A sort of collection of Victorian household wisdom and advice, spanning from infancy and childhood to death and bereavement. Bound in dark green cloth cover boards with gilt embellishments and marbled fore edges. 3 black and white engravings. Condition is very good with some scuffing to the covers and wear at the corners.
