Trove Tuesday this week comes from the Bunyip of Gawler, dated May 11, 1872.
THE HUSBAND’S COMMAND. (1872, May 11). Bunyip (Gawler, SA : 1863 – 1954), p. 4. Retrieved April 28, 2013, from http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article97206557
Next Trove Tuesday I will share some variations of the Husband’s Commandments that ran at different times up until the 1950s. Wives got their own back too.

Fabulous Merron!!! … wonderful to think that way back then folks had a sense of humour too. Surely it IS satire… 😀

Oh, Merron, this is gold! I laughed out loud (and since I’m at work I had to share it with my colleagues). Excellent find!
