Roberts' Guide for Butlers and Other Household Staff
The House Servant's Directory is the first commercially published book written by a black man in America
Roberts (c1780-1860) was a butler for, among others, Christopher Gore (1758-1827), Governor of Massachusetts and a U.S. Senator from Massachusetts
This is an historical curiosity and a transparent presentation of the life and outlook of a black butler in 19th century Massachusetts. It could be a useful reference if you need to know how to use oil of vitriol to "take ink stains out of mahogany."
Among other activities, Roberts was an outspoken abolitionist.
