MEMORIE STORICHE SOPRA L'USO DELLA CIOCCOLATA IN TEMPO DI DIGIUNO, ESPOSTE IN UNA LETTERA A Monsig. Illustriss., e reverendiss. ARCIVESCOVO N.N.
Edizione: Prima edizione, molto rara . Pagine: 2+VI+CXCVI+2 . Illustrazioni: Vignetta al frontespizio. . Formato: 16° . Rilegatura: Pergamena coeva con tracce di scritte antiche al dorso . Stato: Buono . Caratteristiche: Dimensioni cm. 19 per 13. Segni di antico restauro (ben eseguito) nella parte bianca del frontespizio. Molto fresco l'interno, da rilevarsi solo in due pagine ( CX,CXI) due macchie e graffiature di circa un cm, che non ledono la comprensione del testo. A questa edizione seguì una del 1749. L'autore, domenicano, già nel proemio crea un'invettiva contro il mal costume di accettare la consumazione della cioccolata anche in tempo di digiuno. La parte interessante è quella in cui si delinea la storia di questo cibo, dall'origine all'introduzione in Europa. Si passa poi ad elencare tutti gli scritti in difesa della cioccolata, per confutarli. . Note epoca: MDCCXLVIII

BEETON Mrs. Isabella
Mrs. Beeton's Every-Day Cookery. New Edition. With Coloured Plates and other Illustrations. [Third Edition thus]. BRIGHT, CLEAN COPY
8vo., Third Edition thus, with coloured frontispiece, 18 coloured plates and 67 full-page monochrome photographs and illustrations in the text, some very light and inoffensive spotting (mainly marginal); original decorative green cloth elaborately blocked in gilt and black, backstrip blocked in gilt and black, neatly recased, covers a little age-soiled else a very good, bright, clean copy. Complete with front and rear advertisement endpapers, and 10pp advertisements following index. Many of the advertisements are illustrated. Isabella Beeton's final work, the 'Dictionary of Every-Day Cookery' was first published in 1865 and is second in importance only to 'Household Management'. Following her death in the same year, her husband's publishing house of S.O. Beeton was acquired by Ward Lock & Tyler [subsequently Ward Lock] who naturally set about reissuing all the 'Beeton' cookery titles. The 'Dictionary' was retitled initially the 'Every-Day Cookery and Housekeeping Book' and from 1907 'Mrs. Beeton's Every-Day Cookery'. The present work is, we believe, the third edition with this latter title and the last before Hermann Senn's major revision of 1923. 'Mrs. Beeton's Every-Day Cookery, as it now stands, contains one-third, or 200 pages, more than the previous edition, and is offered at the same price' [Preface]. Although greatly expanded, it is effectively the last edition based on the core text as Isabella herself compiled it. See Driver, p.102 and our own bibliography (in progress).

HILL] [F.
Adam's Luxury and Eve's Cookery; or the Kitchen-Garden Display'd. In Two Parts. To which is added the Physical Virtues of every Herb and Root. [Facsimile re-issue].
12mo., with decorative head- and tail-pieces; green cloth, gilt back, marbled endpapers, a near fine copy. High-quality facsimile re-issue of the very scarce original edition of 1744. Part I: Shewing the best and most approved Methods of raising and bringing to the greatest Perfection all the Products of the Kitchen-Garden; with a Kalendar shewing the different Products of each Month and the Business proper to be done in it; Part II: Containing a large Collection of Receipts for dressing all Sorts of Kitchen Stuff, so as to afford a great Variety of cheap, healthful; and palatable Dishes. Often cited as a 'vegetarian' treatise. Although the majority of the recipes are vegetarian, some (eg. Hodge-Podge) do use meat stock. Now uncommon in its own right, especially in this condition. Axford, p4; Bitting, p.514; Cagle, 541; Maclean, p.3; Oxford, p.74; Pennell, p.151 (all recording the original edition).

RUNDELL] [M.
New System of Domestic Cookery formed upon Principles of Economy and adapted to the Use of Private Families. With many new Receipts, and embellished with thirty-six Engravings. By a Lady.
16mo., with an engraved frontispiece (original tissue guard present), engraved and printed titles, and 34 wood-engraved illustrations in the text, wanting Q8, some mild and occasional age-staining, neat contemporary signature on front free endpaper; original dark green cloth, boards elaborately blocked in blind, gilt back, neatly recased, a very good, tight copy. This attractive and compact edition of a culinary staple is enhanced by an unusual hunting scene as frontispiece; the title-vignette depicts a table of wildfowl and short quotation from Suckling. This must have been one of last the issues of Rundell before the onset of Beeton. This edition not in Cagle. Scarce.

DAVID Elizabeth
Spices, Salt and Aromatics in the English Kitchen. BRIGHT COPY OF THE REVISED EDITION
8vo., small neat signature on half-title; original pictorial wrappers, joints lightly rubbed else a bright, clean copy. Revised issue of a work first published in 1970. It was to have been the first volume of a series titled 'English Cooking Ancient and Modern', but in the event the project was never progressed. In the revised issues the dustwrapper title reads (erroneously) 'Salts', and the original cover photograph by Anthony Denney is replaced by a detail of a still life by de Heem.

DAVID Elizabeth
A Book of Mediterranean Food. Decorated by John Minton. [Recipes from Provence, Greece, Spain, Italy, Turkey, Syria, Egypt and North Africa. Sixth Impression]. BRIGHT, CLEAN COPY OF THE SIXTH IMPRESSION
8vo., Sixth Impression, on laid paper, with illustrated title and numerous illustrations (several full-page) in the text, some faint offsetting to free endpapers, fore-edges very lightly age-soiled; original orange cloth, backstrip blocked and lettered in gilt and brown, a very good, bright, clean copy. DAVID'S FIRST BOOK, AND THE FIRST OF THE THREE VOLUMES THAT WOULD CHANGE ENGLISH COOKING FOR EVER. Lehmann's first edition of 1950 was a small print run, in relative terms expensive and tended to appeal primarily to the converted. It was also the work that combined for the first time David's highly characteristic style with Minton's wonderfully complementary illustrations. Certainly it can be argued that this is the most influential English cookery book of the twentieth century. EARLY IMPRESSIONS ARE SCARCE, ESPECIALLY IN THIS CONDITION.

ANON.
French Domestic Cookery. Combining Elegance with Economy; describing new cilunary Implements and Processes; the Management of the Table; Instructions for Carving; French, German, Polish, Spanish and Italian Cookery IN THE ORIGINAL CLOTH. IN THE ORIGINAL CLOTH
12mo., First Edition thus, with several woodcut illustrations in the text, neat nineteenth century signature on front free endpaper, title and first page of text; original publisher's brown grained cloth, boards with double frame border enclosing an elaborate an elaborate lozenge all in blind, very neatly recased with new cloth backstrip to style, original gilt lettering laid down, fore-edges lightly dust-soiled else a very good, crisp copy in sympathetically restored publisher's binding. 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. A very nice copy of an extremely scarce work. Oxford, p.177 (recording the publisher as 'David Boyne'). Not in Cagle.

BEETON Mrs.
Mrs. Beeton's Cold Sweets. Jellies, Creams, Fruit Dishes, Cold Puddings, and Ices. 350 Recipes.
8vo., First Edition, with a frontispiece and 7 plates, title and three following leaves lightly browned; original brown cloth , upper board and backstrip blocked and lettered in black, an unusually bright, clean copy. In the 1920s Ward Lock produced a series of themed recipe books based on Beeton's best-selling BHM. This is (we believe) the fourth of eight such titles published between 1924 and 1925. Most of the series continued to be reissued as increasingly independent collections in their own right; some were themselves later amalgamated producing a complex bibliography.

WALSH J.H.
The English Housekeeper's Book: being practical Advice for purchasing the Supplies of the House, and for Brewing, Baking, Preserving and Pickling at Home. WANTING ONE LEAF BUT EXCESSIVELY SCARCE
8vo., First Edition, with engraved frontispiece and 13 engraved plates, title and fore-edges mildly spotted, recipe in a neat contemporary hand on frontispiece recto; original dark green pebble-grain cloth, red roan back, wanting B7 (pp. 15-16), neatly rebacked with large fragments of old backstrip gilt laid down, yellow endpapers, a very good, firm copy of a very scarce work. 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.

A fascinating and occasionally very funny survey.

DAVID Elizabeth
French Country Cooking. Decorated by John Minton. [Third Impression]. BRIGHT, CLEAN COPY IN UNCLIPPED DUSTWRAPPER
8vo., Third Impression, on laid paper, with frontispiece, illustrated title, and numerous full-page and smaller illustrations in the text, some light offsetting from fold-ins to free endpapers, fore-edges very lightly speckled; original holland cloth, gilt back, a very good, bright, clean copy in bright, clean, unclipped dustwrapper, the latter chipped with minor loss (just affecting lettering) at head of backstrip and with small loss at upper edge of rear panel. Published nine months after the first impression. David's second book, and to many the finest of the three classic titles that changed the nature of English cookery for ever. In common with her first work 'A Book of Mediterranean Food' this volume is greatly enhanced by the wonderful Minton illustrations. All early issues are very scarce in anything like this condition.

MAUROIS Gerald
Cooking with a French Touch. With an Introduction by Andre Maurois.

Andre Maurois' son was by now living in the USA where the need was for a French cooking 'primer' written in straightforward yet witty style. Uncommon in this condition.

MASON Mrs. C.
The Lady's Assistant for regulating and supplying the Table; being a Complete System of Cookery. Containing the most select Bills of Fare. Likewise Directions for Brewing, Remarks on Kitchen Poisons. Ninth Edition. IN SIGNED BIRDSALL BINDING
8vo., Tenth Edition [styled 'Ninth Edition' on title], on laid paper, free endpapers mildly browned, title lightly dust-soiled, some mild and inoffensive age-staining (principally at fore-margins and edges); in SIGNED BINDING BY BIRDSALL OF NORTHAMPTON of nineteenth century cloth boards, tree calf back, backstrip with six gilt rules, second compartment with original leather label lettered and ruled in gilt, label worn but gilt mainly legible, uncut, sometime neatly recased with new endpapers to style, joints cracked (but binding entirely sound), a very good, crisp copy. Vernor and Hood [and many others], 1805 Charlotte Mason's important collection was first published in 1773 and Maclean records a further seven eighteenth-century editions. Bitting adds a Dublin imprint of 1778 as a result of which subsequent copies are one edition later than that stated, hence that with 'eighth edition' on title in actually the ninth (Cagle 864) and the present issue (styled 'ninth edition') is actually the tenth (see Cagle pp. 621-3). The present edition retains the introduction to the first edition, the advertisement to the sixth edition, and the appendix on poultry, the dairy, the kitchen and fruit gardens. Scarce in any early edition.

BEETON Mrs.
Mrs. Beeton's All About Cookery. New Edition. NEAR FINE COPY IN UNCLIPPED DUSTWRAPPER
8vo., with coloured frontispiece, 11 coloured plates and 48 plates in monochrome, fore-edges very lightly dust-soiled; original decorative brown cloth, upper board and backstrip blocked in blind and lettered in black, a remarkably well-preserved copy in unclipped dustwrapper, the latter chafed (not affecting lettering) at head of backstrip. With advertisement front endpapers in sepia and 11pp of similar advertisements at end. 'All About Cookery' (first issued under this title in 1871) is a derivative of Isabella Beeton's final work 'The Dictionary of Cookery'. The 'Dictionary' was first published in 1865 and designed to full the gap between her classic (but highly-priced) 'Book of Household Management' and the cheaper 'Cookery'. A key feature of the work is the arrangement of its subject matter - recipes, menus, implements and so on - in alphabetical order for easy reference. It is her only work so presented and to our belief the first compilation of its kind. The Edwardian and Georgian editions are particularly comprehensive in their scope and coverage. SCARCE IN THE DUSTWRAPPER. See Driver, p.101 and our own bibliography (in progress). Cagle 563 cites the 1903 edition with fewer plates.
