About The Book

Personal Beauty - A Thoroughly Victorian Guide to Personal Beauty Personal Beauty was originally published in 1870 under the title, The Laws Of Health in Relation to the Human Form. The book contains many Victorian recipes for health and beauty along with valuable and unusual advice for attaining physical perfection. From the Introduction: "But at the outset our fair reader who would be fairer must not understand us as promising too much. We do not come with an Elixir of Youth and Beauty, which she can drink at a draught, and bid defiance to Old Time. No! but in a hundred ways, here a little and there a little, by obeying rules of health, by diet and exercise, by devices of surgery, and by mysterious arts of pharmacy, she will learn how to transform herself from homely into passable, from passable into attractive, from attractive into beautiful."
