This work serves as a manual for young ladies entering housekeeping, providing instruction on various aspects of household management including cooking, organizing, and maintaining a household effectively. The author emphasizes the importance of practical knowledge in managing a home efficiently, particularly for women of moderate means. The opening of the book outlines the author's goals in providing helpful advice for young housekeepers, particularly in a time when the women of her era may be lacking in essential domestic skills. Cobbett discusses the significance of practical experience over academic learning, lamenting that many young women are ill-prepared for domestic responsibilities due to current educational practices. She emphasizes the value of homemaking skills, from managing finances to culinary practices, and criticizes the societal shift away from these practical arts, thereby setting the stage for the detailed guidance that follows in the subsequent chapters.
