Best.-Nr. 53179Sudbury: G. W. Fulcher / London: Longman & Co. 1841 . Disbound original pamphlet. 6.0" x 4.0" pp.24.Clean throughout. VG. Referenced by: OCLC Online Computer Library Center :18082852 The phrase "A cheap loaf but no money to buy it or The question of the corn laws plainly considered" refers to a 19th-century political slogan and pamphlet title used during Britain's fierce national debate over the Corn Laws.The phrase captures the core argument used by protectionists those who wanted to keep the laws: they claimed that while getting rid of trade barriers might make bread cheaper it would also crash the economy and lower workers' wages so much that they still wouldn't be able to afford food. Wikipedia. George Williams Fulcher 1795-1855 was an English poet and miscellaneous writer. He carried on the business of a bookseller stationer and printer at Sudbury in Suffolk where in 1825 he issued the first number of the 'Sudbury Pocket Book' an annual which he continued to publish during his life and to the pages of which besides Fulcher himself Bernard Barton William and Mary Howitt James Montgomery and other less-known writers contributed. A selection from these contributions appeared under the title of 'Fulcher's Poetical Miscellany' in 1841 12mo reprinted in 1853. Fulcher also started in 1838 a monthly miscellany of prose and verse entitled 'Fulcher's Sudbury Journal' but this was not continued beyond the year. He made a courageous effort to treat pauperism poetically publishing 'The Village Paupers and other Poems' London 1845. 'The Village Paupers' is in the heroic couplet and betrays in almost every line the influence of Crabbe and of Oliver Goldsmith's The Deserted Village. Of the miscellaneous poems 'The Dying Child' is the best. Fulcher also published 'The Ladies' Memorandum Book and Poetical Miscellany' 1852 and following years; 'The Farmer's Day-book' which reached a sixth edition in 1854 and he was engaged on a life of Gainsborough a Sudbury man at his death on 19 June 1855. Fulcher was throughout life a diligent student particularly of Crabbe and Cowper. Boswell's Johnson was also one of his favourite books. He was a practical botanist and very sensitive to the beauties of nature. He took an active interest in local affairs being one of the magistrates of the borough of Sudbury president of the board of guardians and several times mayor. He gave much to charities. He was buried in the churchyard of St. Gregory Sudbury the townspeople closing their shops and the mayor corporation and magistrates of the borough following the burial. Sudbury: G. W.

1714Best.-Nr. 7280London: For Richard Wilkin 1714. Octavo 19 x 12.5 cm. 16 218 13 pages. FIRST EDITION. “Mary Kettilby’s collection of cookery recipes and medicinal and home remedies from a tasty “green-pease soop without meat” to gooseberry wine. Households that could not afford French cooks or French cooking came to form a growing audience for books by women that contained unpretentious recipes cut to suit a less costly cloth for pickling and collaring rather than ragouts. Where Hannah Woolley had led plenty of female cooks with their eye on the profitable middle market followed with books like Mary Kettilby’s collection of recipes 1714 and Eliza Smith’s Compleat Housewife 1734” Colquhoun Taste: The Story of Britain through its Cookery 2015. Kettilby’s book purported to be a collective effort: the preface stating that ‘a Number of very Curious and Delicate House-wives Club’d to furnish out this Collection’. Maclean however pages 79-82 doubts this and notes that evidence from later editions indicate Kettilby to be the main author. Apart from the Preface there is no introduction of any sort: the recipes follow immediately after the chapter headings. The book is clearly divided into chapters of recipes for food and for remedies but within the chapters there is no definite structure. For example the first chapter begins with six recipes for soups followed by recipes for collared beef ‘French-Cutlets’ collared mutton stewed pigeons broiled pigeons dressed turbot and then patties ‘for a Dish of Fish’. The recipes are given either as goals as ‘To make Hogs-Puddings’ or as titles sometimes with descriptions as ‘A very good Tansy’. Quantities are given in whichever units are convenient as ‘a Gallon of grated Bread’ ‘three Pounds of Currants’ or ‘nine Eggs’. Often quantities rely on the cook’s judgment as ‘as much Sugar as will make it very sweet’. Temperatures and timings are given when necessary as ‘a cool Oven: Half an Hour bakes it’. Later binding in 19th century style. Half-calf gilt-decorated spine marbled endpapers. The front paste-down contains the bookplates of two significant culinary collections: Thomas Scruggs & Margaret Cook and Marian Hatch. The Hatch bookplate was designed and engraved by British engraver Alfred J. Downey. With the bookseller's ticket of Philip C. Duschnes to the rear pastedown.
