Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Happy Home, 1855, Vol. 1: Richly Embellished With Numerous Cuts and Plates
Fourteen times the earth has completed its annual round since the first form of our periodical was issued. Other monthly journals, devoted more or less to the household, have been purchased and merged in the The Mother's Assistant and Young Lady's Friend 5 and both their patrons and proprietors have given us a co-operation which has warmed and expanded our hearts with gratitude. We have increased, sometimes more than our limited resources have seemed to justify, the number and artistic beauty of our 'engravings, and also, as many of you have testified, the value and usefulness of our publication.
