A Literary Treasure

We recently came across a book that had been stored away for a long time. This particular book was published in 1880, first edition. The cover is hard-cover tooled leather, and is in generally pretty good shape. It is a collection of common-sense words of wisdom for every aspect of family life. I haven't found this edition on the 'net anywhere. I wonder if we may have uncovered a rare specimen?

S. C. Ferguson and E. A. Allen
Published 1880, First Edition

Here is one excerpt from the book. As I said, all aspects of family life are covered.
