1910réf. 6626New Orleans; New York: The Board of Trade; Printed by H. R. Elliot & Co. Printers and Embossers 1910. Stapled booklet 10.25 x 15.25 cm. 14 unnumbered leaves; printed text decorated with red borders on rectos only. Cover title: Recipes for Cooking Rice. Author information inferred from external evidence. Printer from rear panel of wrappers. ~ Evident FIRST EDITION. A promotional publication designed “to create a greater interest” in a foodstuff that had yet to become a staple in many parts of the United States. With a dozen recipes including Gumbo Soup Jambalaya Belle Calas fritters Rice Pudding Riz au Lait. ~ The phrase “Louisiana Rice Exhibit” can be found in reference to displays in the agricultural halls of world’s fairs – the World’s Columbian Exposition Chicago 1893 for instance as well as the Louisiana Purchase Exposition St. Louis 1904 – but in the event the phrase is better understood not as an installation but as a program. The New Orleans Board of Trade had indeed exploited opportunities to educate the public by such means cf A. C. Cantley “Rice Display by Louisiana at World's Fair of 1904” The Planter and Sugar Manufacturer 32 no. 7 February 13 1904 page 121 but it would have been highly unlikely for booklets such as How to Cook Rice to have been produced specifically for them without bearing any mark of the association. Moreover Louisiana Rice Exhibits so-named were also staged at parish fairs livestock shows even horse races. Their visual aspect was meant to entrance and amuse. “The New Orleans Board of Trade made a very splendid exhibit” a trade paper reported “at the National Farm and Livestock Show with a display of all the products it handles with the centerpiece a working model of a rice mill” “Current Rice News Notes” The Rice Journal and Southern Farmer 19 no. 12 December 1916 page 33. ~ Founded in 1880 the Board itself coordinated among many other activities rice shipments from mills in Louisiana and to a smaller extent from eastern Texas and Arkansas too. In this case their printing contract with H. R. Elliot & Co. places the publication later than the Chicago Exposition as this form of name was not in use until after 1900 “The Manufacturing Stationer” Walden’s Stationer and Printer 31 Spring 1909 page 16. The date of issue proposed here rests on reports that the Board of Trade distributed booklets in or perhaps slightly before 1910 a note for example from the American Poultry World recorded that recipes from the Louisiana Rice Exhibit of New Orleans had been received 1 no. 5 March 1910 pages 354-355. ~ Interior clean and bright. Stapled in ivory wrappers with gilt illustration of rice plants overseen by a pelican in honor of the Pelican State. Near fine. OCLC locates four copies; Uhler 252; New Orleans Culinary History Group page 152; not in Bitting Brown or Cagle. [The Board of Trade; Printed by] H. R. Elliot & Co., Printers and Embossers paperback

réf. 22684Philadelphia: Printed by John Richards No. 130 North Third Street. 1839. The full title is: 'An Address to the Quarterly Monthly and Preparative Meetings and the Members thereof composing the Yearly Meeting of Friends held in Philadelphia By the Committee appointed at the late Yearly Meeting to have charge of the Subject of Slavery.' 12pp 12mo. Pamphlet in original plain brown wraps. In good condition lightly aged and worn. Begins with two pages of extracts from the minutes 17 May 1839 regarding the setting up of the committee on 'the deeply interesting subject of Slavery' with reference to 'Benjamin Price Jr. Clerk' and 'Deborah F. Wharton Clerk.' The address itself 'Signed by direction and on behalf of the Committee by John Jackson Clerk' is eight pages long. Towards the beginning it notes that 'Many of our forefathers were slave-holders and the unrighteous practice of holding our fellow-creatures in bondage was not then forbidden by our discipline.' The change of policy is described with reference to 'Anthony Benezet and John Woolman'. Later the address notes: 'The advancement of this righteous concern and the increase of light upon the subject of human rights are causing this system of iniquity to totter to its base. Hence under the influence of fearful excitement many are putting forth their strength to impede the progress of principles which if ultimately triumphant will break the fetters of the slave. A part of the trading interests at the North is evidently involved with those of the South and an influence is in this way exerted against the onward course of Emancipation; thus light and darkness antagonize each other.' And later still: 'Within a few years great events hae occurred in relation to Slavery and much light has been spread on the subject. The experience derived from Emancipation in the British West Indies has opened a new era. . while we have painful evidence that a great body of slave-holders are influenced by injustice and cruelty . There are many whose consciences are burdened by a system which they derived from their ancestors . the money of the slave-trader is temptingly held up before them; . they cannot separate the tender ties of family connexion among their slaves; they dare not receive the price of blood. . We believe they are fervently desiring the deliverance of master and slave from the bondage to which both are subjected. Their hearts have bounded with joy at the success of Emancipation in the British West Indies; it has opened a door of hope thaty they also may be legally permitted to prove the advantage of requited labour over that which is extorted by the lash of the oppressor. .'.

Four pages 8vo bifolium good condition. "I rejoice that the N.L. Club is about to give you a complimentary Luncheon. The Committee asked me to propose so to speak the Toast of the Guests. Most reluctantly I had to decline mainly owing to the state of my health but partly too because I am uncertain whether I can be in London in time for the function. I trust and feel sure that there will be a great and appreciative gathering worthy of the guests and of the occasion. It seems almost an age since I saw you and I have often chided myself for not calling upon you. 'Circumstance that unspiritual god' to quote Coleridge has been very adverse to our meeting each other! But I have had many opportunities of inquiring about your health and I have heard reassuring accounts from friends. I am 'picking up' fairly well but I have to be careful and not try to do over much."
