Generally speaking, a farm consists of a plot of ground along with a house, a barn, and outbuildings. A the turn of the century, farming continued to compete with manufacturing in importance. By 1965, however, the majority of our population had been attracted to the cities and their outlying suburbs, where employment and conveniences were more plentiful and life seemed less rigorous. Today, however, the farm is again luring many people back to live in the country or, when this is impractical, to visit it frequently and experience the compensations that country living has to offer. One of the most interesting discoveries made in this survey of the American farmhouse is the many farmhouses, despite their present ample proportions, were initially small - then expanded out of necessity. It is regrettable that the farmhouse is slowly disappearing from the American scene. It is hopeful that the contents of this survey will encourage the preservation of many others.

"Here, finally, is a book on the colonial kitchen that will be (or should be) read and savored by every interested layman, informed collector, museum curator, and cultural historian. A romantic ideal has always sustained the myths surrounding early historic house and museum installations of old kitchens. In this beautifully produced and lucidly organized work, Frances Phipps casts welcome light into numerous dark corners, clears up many old problems, and banishes more than one hallowed belief about this important room in the colonial home. From fresh materials the author has put color and variety into the cultural life of the early American colonies." -- Wendell Garrett, Editor, The Magazine 'Antiques'

The Encyclopedia Of Hardware presents a comprehensive overview of the general, electrical, and plumbing hardware that is commonly available in retail stores and lists the manufacturers of less easy-to-locate items. It explains the functions of each product, its advantages and disadvantages in relation to similar items, and includes special installation and cost-saving tips. An appendix listing the names and addresses of more than 200 hardware manufacturers completes this armchair buyer's guide. The Encyclopedia Of Hardware will save you incalculable amounts of time, money, and above all, frustration.
