1852ref. FBA104/L23Maroon cloth re-backed spine with gilt and decoration. Green cloth boards. We provide an in-depth photographic presentation of this item to stimulate your feeling and touch. More traditional book descriptions are immediately available. A lovely copy produced in the mid 1850s and creatively refurbished to a good quality. This was a prized edition that belonged to Jack Lang. Dr. Kitchiner's original book first published in 1829. A bestseller in its day Kitchiner's fundamentals of 19th-century cookery cover the gamut from meat & fish to gravies & sauces to puddings & pies including many of his favorite "receipts." Interestingly enough he toured with a moveable taste cabinet; a folding cupboard stocked his unique mustards and sauces. And unlike most food writers of the era he whipped up the recipes himself carried out the dreaded after-dinner clean up and did all his own housework! A marvelous culinary artifact of 19th-century cookery this book is certain to delight both social historians and food-lovers alike. A household name during the 19th-century WILLIAM KITCHINER M.D. 1775-1827 was an optician inventor of telescopes amateur musician and exceptional cook. Additional works include: The Invalid's Oracle The Housekeeper's Ledger The Traveller's Oracle and The Art of Invigorating and Prolonging Life. NOTE: This is an original book from the library gathered by the famous Cambridge Don computer scientist food and wine connoisseur Jack Arnold LANG. Note: Jack founded the Michelin Guide 'Midsummer House'- Cambridge's paramount restaurant. This dining experience is hidden amongst the grassy pastures and grazing cattle of Midsummer Common and perched on the banks of the River Cam. In 2008 Jack was one of the co-founders of the Raspberry Pi Foundation alongside other members of the Department and acted as the Foundation's Chair. The project's original goals were modest: to build and distribute low-cost computers for prospective applicants to our Computer Science degree. Initially the project was a "success disaster" as Jack would say as demand far outstripped the low-scale manufacturing plans. Ultimately the Raspberry Pi became the UK's most successful computer with more than 60 million sold to date. Jack was drawn to the educational possibilities of the Raspberry Pi its potential uses in emerging economies and the way it could support self-directed learning. Houlston & Sons. hardcover

1916ref. 004186original artifacts. KITCHENER Lord Horatio Herbert. Contemporary Telegraph Tape Announcing His Death in the Sinking of HMS Hampshire with HMS Hampshire Silver and Tortoiseshell Presentation Box. 1915-1916. Two interesting First World War survivals comprising a contemporary telegraph receiver tape reporting the sinking of HMS Hampshire and the death of Lord Kitchener together with a silver and tortoiseshell HMS Hampshire presentation box dated 1915. The paper tape measures approximately 2400 mm when extended. Lacking the opening few letters with several old repairs and creasing from having been rolled but substantially complete and legible considering its fragile format. Good condition. The transmitted report reads with minor losses and imperfections: "His Majesty's ship Hampshire with Lord Kitchener and his staff on board was sunk last night about 8 o'clock to the west of the Orkney Islands either by a mine or torpedo. Four boats were seen by observers on shore to leave the ship. The weather was . and heavy seas were running. Vessels and destroyers at once proceeded to the spot and a party was sent along the coast to search but only some bodies and a capsized boat have been found . As the whole shore has been searched there is no hope of there being any survivors. No . had yet been received from the search party on shore. HMS Hampshire was on her way to Russia." Accompanying the tape is a circular silver-mounted tortoiseshell presentation box approximately 80 mm in diameter and 30 mm deep raised on four feet with hinged lid and cushioned interior. The lid is applied with a crowned Hampshire rose above a ribbon inscribed "H.M.S. HAMPSHIRE" and the date "1915". Hallmarked silver and bearing the retailer's mark of The Goldsmiths & Silversmiths Company Ltd. The firm established in 1880 by William Gibson and John Lawrence Langman was one of London's leading jewellers and silversmiths and was particularly associated with high-quality presentation silver and specially commissioned pieces. The naval insignia and 1915 date indicate that the box was produced as an HMS Hampshire presentation or commemorative piece during the ship's service and significantly before her loss the following year. HMS Hampshire was lost off Orkney on 5 June 1916 while carrying Field Marshal Lord Kitchener and his staff on a diplomatic mission to Russia. Kitchener Secretary of State for War and one of the most recognisable British figures of the First World War was among the members of his party lost with the ship. The tape is particularly striking for the immediacy of its report: the cause is still given as "either by a mine or torpedo" rescue operations remain underway and the message records the rapidly disappearing hope of finding survivors. An uncommon pairing of two contemporary HMS Hampshire survivals. . Good. Soft cover. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. 1916. original artifacts paperback
