This site is devoted to the publication of various effusions from the pen of Tom Jaine, most importantly the text of his translation of the second volume of Cora Millet-Robinet’s Maison rustique des dames (1845) – the translated title being The French Country Housewife. The text used for this was the fourth edition of 1859. The subject-matter of this second volume embraces domestic medicine, the flower and kitchen garden, and the farm (inasmuch as it concerns the mistress of the house).
