Advice books on housekeeping and the duties of an ideal wife were plentiful during the Victorian era, and sold well among the middle class. In addition to Mrs. Beeton's "Book of Household Management", there were "Infant Nursing and the Management of Young Children" (1866) and "Practical Housekeeping; or, the duties of a home-wife" (1867) by Mrs. Frederick Pedley, and "From Kitchen to Garret" by Jane Ellen Panton, which went through 11 editions in a decade. Shirley Forster Murphy a doctor and medical writer, wrote the influential "Our Homes, and How to Make them Healthy" (1883), before he served as London's chief medical officer in the 1890s.
