Many a young housekeeper has been at great pains to keep an account of her year's expenditure, the only result of which is to show the already well-ascertained fact that so much money has been spent. To methodize the keeping of the housekeeping account, so as to show what each article of domestic consumption has cost, and by consequence, in which a saving may be best effected, is the object of The Domestic Ledger, a new system of housekeeping, by MTS. STANLEY. MTS. STANLEY also apportions incomes of various amounts, according to the number of the family, and shows how much the board of each person will cost. Her advice to young housekeepers is excellent: but one year's practice of her system will do more than a volume of precepts to enforce inetlic.d and economy—qualities so valuable that they almost :amount to virtues.
