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.

1818 Alsatian folk art Taufschein with Pennsylvania-German ties chicken and egg motif

ref. 145237Bas-Rhin Alsace France 1818. Broadside approx. 10½ × 8¼ inches. Ink manuscript on laid paper with red ink and pencil illustrations; watermark visible. Folded with creases light soiling irregular trimming and minor edge wear not affecting text or decoration; very good. Offered with: One-page German manuscript on matching laid paper with identical watermark also dated 1818. Folded with creases and a small perforation not affecting text; very good. Curious and crudely executed folk art this 1818 German-language taufschein baptismal certificate is decorated in ink and pencil. The text records the birth in “Diemringen” and baptism in “Rathsweiler” likely Ratzwiller a village near Diemringen in Bas-Rhin Alsace. Fitting the baptismal theme it features a chicken and egg motif symbolizing creation and new life. The opening lines in German transcription approximate read: “I’ve been baptized and registered The Book of Life includes me now My Father will love me eternally / And be merciful to His child / God surely knows me already for a long time / My name rests in His hand.” Alternating lines circles and triangles frame the text in an abstract border with the chicken and egg motif placed prominently at the top. Square blocks of color in each corner may suggest a picture frame or reference the brass bosses found on elaborately bound 18th- and 19th-century Bibles. Accompanying the taufschein is a one-page untranslated German manuscript written on matching laid paper with an identical watermark also dated 1818. Both items appear to have originated in Bas-Rhin and were acquired together from an estate in Lancaster County Pennsylvania—an area of early German-speaking settlement. The family may have emigrated from Alsace after the post-Napoleonic upheaval of 1815 when widespread political and economic instability spurred migration. The watermark on both sheets is of the “Vryheyt” “Freedom” type used in Holland and later copied in England Sweden and the United States; see Churchill’s Watermarks in Paper nos. 79–108. The full watermark—visible on the illustrated sheet—depicts a lion holding a stave within a crowned circle possibly encircled by the motto “Pro Patria Eiusque Libertate.” unknown

An Account of the Late Dreadful Earthquake and Fire Which destroyed the City of Lisbon The Metropolis of Portugal. In a Letter From a Merchant Resident there To his Friend in England

ref. 3731167London: Printed. Boston; New-England Re-printed and sold by Green & Russell at their Printing-Office near the Custom-House and next to the Writing School in Queen-Street. MDCCLVI. 1756. half-title 23 1 pages. 8vo. “The Second Edition.” In fact the First American Edition preceded by printings in London and York both dated 1755. Expertly washed conserved and stitching renewed; scattered staining. A very good copy housed In a custom cloth clamshell box with a gilt-stamped leather spine label. Partly-untrimmed. First American edition of this eyewitness account of this terrible disaster on All Saints Day November 1 1755 that shook perspective views in the Old World and the New. The Lisbon Earthquake alarmed New England clergy and perplexed philosophers in France. For the former some ministers interpreted the event to show God expressing his angry will. For the latter some thinkers saw the disaster as evidence that no such will existed. The Lisbon Earthquake is estimated to have been 8.5–9.0 magnitude on the Richter scale and lt triggered a tsunami. The devastation was enormous: "“Not long after…a general Panic was raised from a Crowd of People’s running from the Waterside all crying out the Sea was pouring in and would certainly overwhelm the City. This new Alarm created such Horrors in the agitated Minds of the Populace that vast Numbers of them ran screaming into the ruinated City again where a fresh Shock of the Earthquake immediately following many of them were buried in the Ruins of falling Houses. This Alarm was however not entirely without Foundation. For the Water of the River rose at once above twenty Feet perpendicular and subsided again to its natural Pitch in less than a Minute’s time.”" From the Rev. Thomas Prince to John Winthrop in to Voltaire to Rousseau —the intellectual luminaries of the world weighed in. Years later Goethe would write in his autobiography of his memory as a six-year old of the event: “Perhaps the Demon of Fear had never so speedily and powerfully diffused his terror over the earth.” The earthquake was the “subject of anxious Church sermons across the Atlantic in New England. In fact an earthquake had also occurred in Massachusetts on the 18th of November 1755 centered east of Cape Ann. In Boston most of the damage occurred where buildings had been constructed over landfill near the wharves. John Adams who was at Braintree wrote in his diary: ‘The house seemed to rock and reel and crack as if it would fall in ruinsâ€¦â€™” Kenneth Maxwell The Lisbon and Boston earthquakes became in tandem seismic cultural events as ministers philosophers and scientists contextualized one to the other. Some ministers compared the heavy damage of the Lisbon quake to the minimal damage from Boston’s and drew conclusions of moral American exceptionalism. Others used the Lisbon earthquake’s date of All Saint’s Day to suggest that God was punishing the Catholics. At Harvard professor and astronomer-scientist John Winthrop blamed volcanoes. By and large An Account of the Late Dreadful Earthquake and Fire… is written from neither a secular nor philosophical viewpoint. Rather it is a richly-detailed moment by moment account. It is a linear timeline written by an eyewitness who was literally on the shaky ground —when and where the dramatic event transpired. Charles Edwin Clark’s “Science Reason and an Angry God: The Literature of an Earthquake” in The New England Quarterly describes this narrow field of literature of the New England earthquake of 1755 —from the sermons to accounts such as the present example— as documenting a “science struggling to be born; a vigorous aggressive Protestantism on its way to becoming humanized and rationalized; a continuing consciousness of the uniqueness and special mission of America; and a scholarly approach in the best Puritan tradition to the problems of this world and the next.” Clark also provides an excellent and granular timeline of Boston’s printing and publication history concerning these two earthquakes. The verso of the half-title has an advertisement for the Boston edition of the Indian captivity of William and Elizabeth Fleming which is worth quoting at length: “A NARRATIVE of the Sufferings and surprizing Deliverances of William and Elizabeth Fleming Howes F-183 who were taken captive by Capt. Jakob Commander of the Indians who lately made the incursions on the frontiers of Pennsylvania as related by themselves. A NARRATIVE necessary to be read by all who are going in the Expedition The Kittanning Expedition a.k.a. the Armstrong Expedition as well as every British subject. Wherein it fully appears that the Barbarities of the Indians is owing to the French and chiefly their Priests. Price six Coppers.” After Braddock’s Defeat Capt. Jacob had terrorized the Pennsylvania population until a force armed Pennsylvanians killed Jacobs September 8 1756 in an retaliatory raid. The reader of this pamphlet would not have known of Jacob’s death because according to Clark it was published on April 1 1756. Evans 7602. ESTC W10073. Howes L-371 ref. ESTC records only 6 institutions all in America owning this. The “third American edition” i.e. the second is likewise rare. Ref.
