Description: The Book of Home Pets, showing how to rear & manage, in sickness and in health [list of animals] In fact its coverage is wider than the title would imply as it covers many wild animals and also has chapters on hawking, and the preparing and taxidermy of animals. Also tips such as installing a hedgehog in your kitchen as a beetle catcher. It also has, rather oddly, a chapter on ferns. Illustrated by over 200 Harrison Weir woodcuts and eleven (n.b. one is missing) coloured illustrations. S O Beeton, 1st edition, 1862 Hardback. 180 x 125mm. 832 pages. The cover has been repaired at one time, adequately if not aesthetically. The binding is tight. There is some foxing but not to an unpleasant degree. SB 50
