Mrs F M Macdonald [Victorian recipes; cookery; cholera]:Biblio.com

Manuscript book of 'Receipts collected by Mrs. Macdonald and to which are added Useful remarks for the Mistress of a House.'

réf. 9276Circa 1849. 4to 36 pp and a manuscript title-page. All texts clear and complete. Disbound from a commonplace book and apparently complete. Fair on aged brittle gilt-edged paper with a few closed tears in particular to the last couple of leaves. The book is presumably in Mrs Macdonald's hand and the only indication to her identity is the final note see below signed 'F. M. M.' which shows her to have been an educated member of the middle classes. Divided into three parts. The first part is 'Useful Remarks for the Mistress of a House' 25 pp paginated from 1 to 23. The first page carrying remarks on Tea Loaf Sugar Moist Sugar Eggs and Spices with the last two annotated 'Experientia docet!' The first entry reads: 'Tea should be kept in a dry place and any store should be in Tin Canisters wrapt in flannel. Two spoonful is the quantity given to work-women for breakfast or Tea.' Extensive sections on Pickles and Preserves. Also Raspberry Vinegar Candles Soap 'Lay in also an annual stock' and Coals the latter annotated 'Since the above was written Coals are sold by the Ton'. Long sections on 'Poultry yard' 'Pidgeons' 'Rabbits' 'If the Doe is weak during her accouchement give her beer caudle or warm fresh grains' 'Ornamental Supper dishes' 'Flummery' including 'Green Melon in Flummery' The second part comprising 6 pp of French recipes: 'Soupe a la Bonne-Femme' 'Roux Blanc white Thickening' 'Roux brun brown thickening' 'Sauce Tournee' Sauce a l'Allemande German sauce' 'Sauce au Maitre d'Hotel' 'Sauce du Maitre d'Hotel au maigre' 'To boil Artichokes the French way' 'French melted butter only good with Artichokes in my opinion'. The third part 6 pp containing miscellaneous recipes beginning with a long 'Anti-Cholera diet' and ending with 'Lord Ponsonby's Cure for Cholera. 1849.' 'It is asserted by Lord Ponsonby's Agent that the patient is immediately cured before a Medical Man arrives.' This is dated 'June 24: 1849' and is followed by a note signed 'F. M. M.' reading 'The above receipt was given to me by a Man of the name of Poole a Poulterer at Alston near Cheltenham who saw it tried in his House by his Brother in Law who was seized with all the symptoms of Cholera and had the Medicine made up to be ready at a moment and was quite well and able to return to his home some miles distant perfectly recovered the next Morning.' [Circa 1849.] unknown

THE DOMESTIC ORACLE

1826réf. ST20911-2London: Printed at the Caxton Press by H. Fisher Son and Co ca. 1826. FIRST EDITION. 222 x 140 mm. 8 3/4 x 5 1/2". 2 p.l. 568 viii pp. Very pleasing retrospective half morocco over marbled paper boards flat spine divided into panels by gilt rules lettered in gilt. With engraved frontispiece and eight plates demonstrating various cuts of meat and seasonal meals not including the "marketing" plate as often. Front flyleaf with ink inscription: "Alice Jones/ her Book/ August 26th 1846." Title page with early ownership signature "Alice Jones 1846" and recent ink inscription "1826." Simon 1080. Plates with variable browning the final one quite browned faint dampstain across bottom margin of frontispiece text with moderate foxing and soiling most pages affected but never severely so still a perfectly decent copy especially of a cookbook internally and in an excellent unworn sympathetic binding. This is an early--and likely the first--printing of a popular cookery book issued with the stated emphasis of providing advice and recipes for "the conservation of health." As is often the case with domestic recipe books of this period "The Domestic Oracle" includes not only recipes for food but also for medicines cleaning products and other agents for household purposes. Little is known about our author Alexander Murray but the preface tells us he was a medical doctor and that the medical recipes in the present work "have not been gleaned from obsolete books but are the result of experimental observation in a public and private practice of more than forty years' continuance." Our undated edition is generally agreed to be the first; no earlier editions appear on OCLC. The preface is dated March 29th 1826 so the book was most likely published some time that year although Simon suggests a date of 1830. Our copy has clearly seen kitchen use but is nevertheless generally agreeable and in an attractive sympathetic binding. Printed at the Caxton Press, by H. Fisher, Son and Co unknown

1700réf. K8L0EZ7PGV23The Netherlands 1700. Large agenda 8vo 20.5 x 12 cm. Recased ca. 1720 in its own original ca. 1700 blind-tooled parchment sewn on 3 tapes but previously on 5 cords leaving raised ridges in the parchment of the spine with a large centrepiece on each board in a frame of double fillets. Manuscript in dark brown ink on laid paper with 1 printed and 10 manuscript slips with recipes loosely inserted late 18th & early 19th centuries. pp. 15 16 23-188 197-386 387-412 minus 16 scattered pp. including integral paste-downs and about 160 pp. blank except for the page number. A recipe book in Dutch probably written beginning around 1720 but with additions to at least 1758. Most of the recipes are medicinal but about 15 written pages near the end separated from the others by numerous blanks contain culinary recipes. Among the medicinal recipes one also finds a few for ink shoe polish and other things. The medicinal recipes include treatments for the plague rabid dog bites jaundice worms warts scurvy toothache headache and many other ailments. Unusually the complier cites about a dozen sources for the medicinal recipes. The culinary recipes include several kinds of pancakes waffels and "poffertjes" a popular Dutch treat like tiny puffy pancakes tarts cookies and other sweet treats.A small number of leaves had been used for something else before the present text but they were removed and the rest recased in the original binding to begin the present manuscript. The only remaining clue to this earlier text is in the index leaves at the end where a small number entries at the heads of the pages are written in a different hand and in Latin with references to leaf numbers that are no longer present. They are clearly religious/theological.The manuscript as it now stands has minor marginal defects at the foot of about 40 leaves not affecting the text and occasional minor spots but is still in good condition. The binding is slightly loose due to the removed leaves and the parchment shows a few wrinkles and small spots but the tooling of the centrepiece is clear. A charming manuscript recipe book in Dutch both medicinal and culinary. unknown
