Home Words For Heart & Hearth

By Rev. Charles Bullock

Published by "Home Words" Publishing Office: London 1889

"This warmly presented Victorian volume gathers together a year's worth of uplifting Christian reflections, gentle moral essays, domestic advice, and spiritually centred stories edited by the respected Anglican clergyman Rev. Charles Bullock. Much like the periodical from which it draws its name, Home Words for Heart & Hearth was designed to be read aloud in the Victorian parlour—offering encouragement, religious instruction, and wholesome entertainment for families navigating the rapidly changing world of late-19th-century Britain. Bullock's editorial voice is sincere and pastoral, guiding readers through themes of faith, duty, kindness, and the strengthening of home life, all supported by illustrative anecdotes and accessible prose. The 1889 edition captures a distinctive blend of devotional literature and domestic culture, reflecting the era's emphasis on moral improvement and the central role of the household in shaping Christian character. It stands today as both a charming period piece and a window into Victorian social values, religious publishing, and family reading traditions. This book will appeal to collectors of devotional literature, admirers of Victorian domestic life, and those interested in 19th-century Anglican publishing."
