‎Young Women's Hebrew Association (New York, N. Y. )‎

‎TWELFTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE YOUNG WOMEN'S HEBREW ASSOCIATION‎

‎Original Wraps. 12mo. 94, [7] pages. 17 cm. Only edition. With 7 leaves of plates: depicting the Young Women's Hebrew Association building, facilities, and courses. Detailed twelfth annual report of the YWHA. “As a communal agency run entirely by and for women, the YWHA provided an important political arena for Jewish women in the early part of the twentieth century. As a pioneering Jewish institution combining social and religious services, the YWHA became one of the principal sources of the Jewish community center movement. … In the new building of 1914, the auditorium doubled as the synagogue, and services were conducted every Friday night, Saturday morning, and on Jewish holidays. The other major Jewish aspect of the YWHA was its curriculum consisting of classes in Hebrew, Bible study, and Jewish history. This was coordinated with an experimental Hebrew school for girls conducted at the YWHA by the Bureau of Jewish Education (of the New York City Kehilla) . Of course, the YWHA offered far more than religious services and Hebrew classes. In 1917, a few years after the completion of its new eight-story facility on 110th Street overlooking Central Park, the New York YWHA was described as 'the only large institution of its kind in America. ' The description of the modern social center continued: 'Besides being a most comfortable home for one hundred and seventy girls, the building is also a true center for the communal interests of the neighborhood; it houses a Commercial School, a Hebrew School, Trade Classes in Dressmaking, Millinery, Domestic Science, classes in Hebrew, Bible Study, Jewish History, Art, English to Foreigners, Advanced English, French, Spanish, and Nursing. There is a completely equipped modern gymnasium and swimming pool. ” - Jewish Women's Archive. Subjects: Jews - New York (State) - New York. Young Women's Hebrew Association (New York, N.

‎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).‎
