''The Ways Of A Proper Servant.''
With the Imperial city finding itself with even more noble houses and aristocracy, many houses required housemaids, guards, chefs, butlers and governesses, yet this group would be expanding so fast that demand for educated staff was high, yet the market was filled with unmannerd and untaught servants, which would have to be trained by their masters or other staff, taking up valuable time.
Therefor, the book The Ways Of A Proper Servant, was published.
The book had several chapters and was speaking about most of the forms of labour perfomed by house staff. Several of the chapters included:
- Housemaid's tasks and duties.
- Kitchen Maid's tasks and duties.
- Footman's tasks and duties.
The book was published for the common public which wished to be taught as a servent, the nobility that had little experience with training servants and a small group of the middle classes which could afford a help in the household.
