RARE; AND APPARENTLY UNRECORDED IN THIS GUISE. This may well be a third edition with an original title of Walsh's 'English Cookery Book'. This latter work was first published in 1858 Cagle 1045 with a second edition in 1859 see Simon BG 1595. A possible substantiation is that all three works acknowledge in the title the assistance of 'a committee of ladies'. The present work is considerably more illustrated. Further to confuse Walsh states in his Preface dated 1857 that the present work together with its possible forbears are all themselves extracted from his 'Manual of Domestic Economy' the bibliography of which is equally labyrinthine. Not in BLPC; Cagle but see 1045; Simon BG but see 1595. We have able to find no copy in any of the standard bibliographies. Routledge Warne & Routledge, hardcover

According to the English editor's Preface this scarce work is 'an adapted translation of one of the most popular treatises on French Cookery entitled La Cuisiniere de la Campagne et de la Ville ou Nouvelle Cuisine Economique Paris Audot 1846'. The success and stature of the French original is compared to that of Mrs. Rundell. It has been suggested that this is in fact a second edition of a work with a similar title published by Thomas Boys in 1825 Bitting p. 554; Oxford p. 157; Wellcome III 67; however this would contradict the Preface and there is no mention of such a kinship in Oxford who lists both volumes.
