		Beeton instructed him to list himself as the P.O.D. beneficiary on the Transaction Request Form, she commented to Paul, "[T]hat's a lot of responsibility." Paul stated that his mother's comment did not have any meaning to him at the time because he thought that she was referring only to the Treasury Bill of $200,000.
		Beeton was prima facie evidence of her intent and that the executors failed to carry their burden of proving a contrary intent.
		Beeton was still alive, the account established by the 1996 certificate still belonged solely to her as the original payee of the account, and Paul did not have the legal right to effect a change in the form of that account.

	The Mediadrome - Food - Mrs Beeton and Me
		Beeton did not create the recipes in her book, she (along with her cook and kitchen maid) did test every single one, rejecting the elaborate concoctions favored by professional cooks like Charles Francatelli (chef to Queen Victoria) and selecting only those appropriate for middle-class homes.
		Isabella Beeton died in 1865 at the age of 28 of puerperal fever after giving birth to her fourth child, an ironic end for a woman so dedicated to cleanliness (puerperal fever was caused by the unwashed hands of doctors).
		Beeton lived and wrote, not as some fading violet of romance, but as one of the first truly modern women.

	Review \| Mrs Beeton's Book of Household Management
		Isabella Beeton was just 21 years old as she started to work on Mrs Beeton's Book of Household Management and, having had an eccentric childhood that included having the run of Epsom Downs racetrack, she had little hard knowledge on how to run a household.
		There are 2751 numbered entries in Mrs Beeton's, with entries for making café au lait, treating thrush, duties of all of the household staff, an "explanation of French terms used in modern household cookery" and the niceties of giving a letter of introduction.
		The bulk of Mrs Beeton's Book of Household Management is devoted to the culinary arts as they were known in England in the Victorian era because, as Beeton wrote, "Everything that is edible, and passes under the hands of the cook, is more or less changed, and assumes new forms.

	Nuns, Mothers and Others: Lora Roberts: Mrs. Beeton, The Domestic Art of Observation, and Sherlock Holmes
		Isabella Beeton was an intrepid young woman who saw her numerous younger siblings to adulthood on the untimely death of her mother, married and produced her own family, and found time to write and publish a thousand pages on every domestic issue known to woman before suffering an untimely death of her own.
		Beeton's Book of Household Management when I saw it in the bookstore, and enjoyed the casual way she approached measurement in her recipes ("One small teacup full of rice, the weight of two eggs in butter and sugar"), and the strictures on how servants are hired, trained, and supervised.
		Beeton made several points on the importance of observation and deduction in keeping a house clean and a staff in control.

	Mrs Beeton
		Isabella Mary Mayson (March 12, 1836 - January 1865), universally known as Mrs Beeton, was the author of Mrs Beeton's Book of Household Management[?] and is the most famous cookery writer in British history.
		On a visit to London she was introduced to Samuel Orchard Beeton, a publisher of books and popular magazines, and on July 10, 1856 they were married.
		The book (usually referred to as Mrs Beeton's Book of Household Management) was essentially a guide to running a Victorian household.

		Beeton who became a household name was almost as fictional a creation as Ms.
		Beeton remained alive and well for decades, writing those new editions and spinoffs of the BOHM, and thinking up new recipes – all of which, as she said, she tested in her own kitchen.
		Beeton – who understood the relationship between professionalism and domesticity not only in her book, but also in her own, short life – has something to say to us, too.

	Oxford World's Classics Magazine
		The rural economy in which most people produced their own food had long been lost by the time Beeton embarked on her book, and she is as nostalgic for that old connection to the land as we are today.
		Finally, Isabella Beeton was never the stately matron of our imaginings: she worked as a journalist throughout her married life, and died of an infection after giving birth to her fourth child, at the age of 28.
		For the next century the names ‘Mrs Beeton’ and ‘Household Management’ were to continue to make enormous profits for Ward, Lock & Co., to whom Isabella’s publisher husband Sam sold the rights in a disastrous deal soon after her death.

	Mrs. Beeton's Book of Household Management
		Isabella Mary Beeton née Mayson (1836-1865) was the eldest in a family of twenty-one children and it is safe to assume that she was experienced beyond her years when, at the age of nineteen, she married the magazine publisher, Samuel Beeton.
		Beeton, alas, did not live to enjoy her success for long, dying at age twenty-eight after the birth of her fourth child.
		Beeton's measurements, a novel feature in cookbooks of her day, were intended to satisfy Victorian appetites...

	Mrs Beeton - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mrs Beeton is perhaps described better as its compiler and editor than as its author, many of the passages clearly being not her own words.
		This tended to emphasise Mrs Beeton's "feminist" credentials, as well as playing on her sexiness and the assumption that many viewers would have been unaware of her relative youth when she wrote her books and her early death.
		The TV drama seemed to present as fact the speculation in Kathryn Hughes' biography that Beeton suffered from syphilis contracted from her husband, and that this may have led to her death and those of her two children, although there is no firm evidence for this idea.

	The Short Life and Long Times of Mrs. Beeton Cookbook by Hughes, Kathryn - Cooking.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Isabella Beeton was a twenty-one-year-old newlywed with only six months’ experience running her own home when--coaxed by her husband, a struggling publisher--she began to compile her book of recipes and domestic advice.
		Beeton would be accused of plagiarism, blamed for the dire state of British cookery and used to market everything from biscuits to meat pies.
		This elegant, revelatory portrait of a lady journalist, as she lived and as she existed in the minds of her readers, is also a vivid picture of Victorian home life and its attendant anxieties, nostalgia, and aspirations--not so different from those felt in America today.

	Mrs Beeton's robots - 07 October 2006 - New Scientist (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		The issues discussed in your article about domestic robots may be relevant to those aiming to create a mechanical "ladies' companion", but we should note that Mrs Beeton had no difficulty in specifying the laws for "all mistresses and servants" (16 September, p 28).
		In her Every-Day Cookery and Housekeeping Book (1890) she specifies that servants are required to perform specified tasks invisibly and with excellence, speaking to the mistress only when addressed, and attending when commanded.
		In our egalitarian times our roboticists perhaps have no experience of household help and so are more worried about the companionability of robots than their capabilities for efficiently performing unsupervised work.
