"Mrs Beeton's Book of Household Management, also published as Mrs Beeton's Cookery Book, is an extensive guide to running a household in Victorian Britain, edited by Isabella Beeton and first published as a book in 1861. It had previously been published in parts. It was originally entitled Beeton's Book of Household Management, as one of the series of guide-books published by her husband, Samuel Beeton. The recipes were highly structured, in contrast to earlier cookbooks. It was illustrated with many monochrome and colour plates." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mrs_Beeton%27s_Book_of_Household_Management
As Sir Conan Doyle has one of his characters say in one of his novels ""Mrs Beeton must have been the finest housekeeper in the world, therefore Mr. Beeton must have been the happiest and most comfortable man"."
gutenberg has a copy, but without the illustrations www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/10136 "THE BOOK OF HOUSEHOLD MANAGEMENT; Comprising Information for the MISTRESS, HOUSEKEEPER, COOK, KITCHEN-MAID, BUTLER, FOOTMAN, COACHMAN, VALET, UPPER AND UNDER HOUSE-MAIDS, LADY'S-MAID, MAID-OF-ALL-WORK, LAUNDRY-MAID, NURSE AND NURSE-MAID, MONTHLY, WET, AND SICK NURSES, ETC. ETC. ALSO, SANITARY, MEDICAL, & LEGAL MEMORANDA; WITH A HISTORY OF THE ORIGIN, PROPERTIES, AND USES OF ALL THINGS CONNECTED WITH HOME LIFE AND COMFORT. BY MRS. ISABELLA BEETON."

What would it take to fart levitate?
A stellar question! Let's assume that our body can withstand the pressure. What we need is approx. 750N of thrust to negate the effect of gravity on an average-size average-weight person and get them airborne. We need 750 times more than we currently have.
To achieve this, we either require flatulence that is 750 times faster than it already is, which seems rather impossible. First, at close to 100 m/s, we're already fast. At just 3.5 times more than that, we would break the sound barrier and go supersonic. At 750 times more, we'd be travelling at Mach 250, which seems impossible inside the atmosphere. Frankly, it exceeds any man-made projectile.
