The purpose of this paper is to clarify the original text of "Keizaishogaku Kaseiyoshi" translated by Nagamine Hideki and to compare the translation with the original text in detail so as to interpret how it was translated by Nagamine Hideki. The results are as follows: The original of "Keizaishogaku Kaseiyoshi" is Mrs. E. F. Haskell's "The Housekeeper's Encyclopedia" published in New York by D. Appleton & Co. in 1860. The original had 424 pages, and it included many areas of home life with descriptions about cooking making up more than 60%. Incorporated into "Keizaishogaku Kaseiyoshi" was no more than 40 pages or less than 10% of the original text. Abundantly translated are the chapters referring to nutrition, food, infancy, husbands, and preface. On the other hand, the original was translated less in the chapters on servants, housing, clothing, and remedies. This may be due to the translator's intention of choosing household ideologies and contents that were both desirable and practicable in early Meiji era as well as in view of the cultural differences between Japan and America of the time. It is understandable that the translator named his publication "Kaseiyoshi"(Yoshi meaning principal point).
