'Hair should be brushed for twenty minutes night and morning' 'Paint is used, we believe, by some absurd women, on the lips - we need scarcely say to their ultimate injury and always at the user's peril.'

All aspects of body shape, the face, complexion, health and dress are covered in this delightful book. Much of the advice still has relevance to the modern reader, such as the comment that 'perfect cleanliness is essential to the preservation of the teeth', whilst other parts serve as a reminder of the age in which the book was written: 'The water used for washing the skin should be rain-water, but if London rain-water, it must be filtered to clear it from smuts.'Recipes for hair tonics and face creams using such ingredients as beef marrow, lard and borax also highlight how this was still the era of the homemade beauty product.
