A propos de cet article

1838. Two titles bound and published as one. Third thousand (Three Experiments) and possible first UK edition (Elinor Fulton). 106pp. plus a 2-page catalogue; 116pp. (each work has its own title-page). Hannah Farnham Sawyer Lee (1780-1865) was an American author, best known for her 1837 novelette 'Three Experiments of Living' which was published in more than 30 editions in the United States, and 10 in England. It was soon followed by the sequel 'Elinor Fulton'. Three Experiments of Living explores three different approaches to living: living within the means, living up to the means, and living beyond the means. Lee presents these three experiments as a way of examining the different ways people approach their lives and their finances. In the first experiment, living within the means, the author advocates for a simple and frugal lifestyle. This means living within one's financial limits and avoiding unnecessary expenses. The second experiment, living up to the means, involves a more moderate approach. This means living comfortably but not extravagantly, and making sure to save for the future. The third experiment, living beyond the means, is a cautionary tale about the dangers of overspending and living beyond one's financial limits. Lee provides examples and anecdotes to illustrate each of these three experiments. She also offers practical advice on budgeting, saving, and managing money. The book is bound in the original green cloth covered boards with gold titling on the spine and front board. The case of the book is in very good condition with expected shelf wear and some soiling to the boards. The bottom corners and spine ends are bumped. The contents are tight and clean with a handwritten school presentation inscription, dated 1885, on the front free endpaper.…
