The Florence Cook Book. Edited by Women of Trinity Guild of Trinity Parish. Revised Third Edition

1943réf. 5466Florence Alabama: The Church 1943. Octavo 23 x 15.5 cm. 171 v pages. Advertisements. Errata list page 1. Cover title. Table of contents. Third Edition. A generous helping of more than nine hundred recipes clearly an act of perseverance to review and produce during wartime. Southern favorites stand in relief: Cracklin Bread Hush Puppies Ambrosia Daube Glacé Cabbage Au Gratin Creole Peas Fried Bananas Black Bottom Pie Pecan Cake. But this is a substantial revision of the second edition and the Women of Trinity Guild were noting with interest recipes from beyond their immediate sphere as much as was the case anywhere else. Three early instances of Italian-American spaghetti exemplify the cuisine's transition from "peasant" food to household staple. Florence is a well-known constituent municipality of The Shoals in Alabama's northwestern corner the birthplace of W. C. Handy and by extension it is often said the birthplace of the Blues. The seat of Lauderdale County the city and the surrounding region had become prosperous through its abundant access to water power early in the nineteenth century. Though not the first Episcopalian congregation established in Alabama – Anglicans had already settled in Mobile and Tuscaloosa – Trinity Church founded in 1836 and still an active community lays claim to the title of oldest parish in the Tennessee Valley. Several handwritten corrections in pencil otherwise clean and bright internally. In stapled black-lettered red wrappers worn at the corners and with some good sized chips to the spine. Front panel of wrapper is illustrated with a photograph of Wesleyan Hall University of North Alabama. Good only. Scarce. OCLC locates three copies of the present revised edition and one copy of the first edition 1929; a copy of the second edition 1931 is also known; none of these editions is included in Brown Cagle or Cather.

The Florence Cook Book. Edited by Women of Trinity Guild of Trinity Parish. Second Edition

1931réf. 5467Florence Ala: The Church 1931. Octavo 22.5 x 14.5 cm. x 151 xxix pages. Advertisements. Table of contents. Stated Second Edition likely a corrected printing of the first edition. An evidently well-received collection of nine hundred recipes following closely upon the first edition of only two years previous with the same 151 pages. Southern favorites stand in relief: Southern Egg Bread Okra Gumbo Bishop Whipple Pudding Ambrosia Owendaw Asparagus Loaf Blackeye Peas Elder Blossom Wine Creole Pralines. But it would be misleading to truncate the story there for the Women of Trinity Guild could venture out as eagerly as their counterparts elsewhere from Almond Bisque and Lobster Canapes to Queen of Trifles and Banberry sic Tarts. Marginalia on page 110 comments on the Sponge Cake fine “…grand but a lot of work”. For more local color an advertisement on the rear of wrappers is for “Dowdy’s Pit Bar-B-Q Fish-Chili Lee Highway.” ~ Florence is a well-known constituent municipality of The Shoals in Alabama’s northwestern corner the birthplace of W.

Regolamento della Pia Casa di Lavoro di Firenze

1818réf. 4414Florence: presso Niccolò Carli 1818. 8vo 193 x 125 mm. 45 3 bl.; 37 1 bl. pp. Letterpress tables. The second part is an Appendix separately paginated with half-title and approbation at end dated 1818. A few small spots to title and last few pages. Modern half linen and marbled boards original rear wrapper bound in. Only Edition of the rules for the main Florentine workhouse for the destitute mainly children established by Napoleon in 1812 to honor the birth of his son the King of Rome on the site of two former monasteries in the Florentine suburb of Montedomini. The architect Giuseppe del Rosso combined the two monastic edifices creating one main building in a neoclassical style and a complex of six smaller buildings for workshops etc. The Pia Casa di Montedomini as it came to be known was not only a poorhouse but was a center for poor relief generally. The various categories of candidates for aid are set forth in the introduction: children or adults who were taken in by Montedomini or by other “pious establishments” in the city as permanent residents known as Reclusi; those who were given work during the day and who returned to their families at the end of the day; those who were given work to carry out at home; and those few who were granted financial help. The Reclusi were divided by age: children under 3 went to the Spedale degli Innocenti those aged 3 to 10 and 10 to 15 to two different orphanages and those who were disabled or too old to work to another hospice Spedale di Bonifazio. Thus families were broken up: this is acknowledged in the text. Blank sample forms are provided for the admission of each category. Most of the rules are devoted to the main Reclusi aged 15 and up. The first chapter outlines admissions procedures; chapters 2 and 3 describe their general living conditions and daily routines and the following chapters address details of work food clothing and bedding all paid for through the inhabitants’ labor. Not surprisingly given the Napoleonic inspiration the Reclusi were organized in quasi-military “brigades” divided by sex and type of work. The brigades were led by the most compliant and hard-working individuals male “Caporali” and female “Maestre” who wore differently colored uniforms from the others. Every moment of the day was strictly regimented and other than eating and sleeping there was no time for anything other than work except for two hours of recreation on the occasional special feast day when only selected individuals were allowed to leave the Casa in strictly controlled groups. The daily life of these children and young adults who were imprisoned “for their own good” is hard to fathom for a modern reader: they rose at 6 or 6:30 prayed worked until noon finally were allowed to eat and then went back to work until 11 or 11:30 pm. Most of the work seems to have involved sewing or needlework; some worked for tailors or other textile workers. Dinner was followed by prayers and bedtime silence was imposed at 1 am. Meals were spartan: the rations of each ingredient are prescribed down to the ounce. Lunch was 2 ounces of soup 10 ounces of bread and 6 ounces of meat or a comparable quantity of vegetables. Dinner was bread and vegetables. One suspects that many barely survived in these conditions. Other chapters and the Appendix are devoted to the administration of the Casa accounting and record-keeping work assignments and payment and relations with extra-institutional employers.

The Lazy Lays and Prose Imaginings Inscribed to American Medium Mary Hollis Billings

1877réf. 30067London: William H. Harrison 1877. Very Good. London: William H. Harrison 1877. First Edition. Octavo 18.5cm.; publisher's purple pictorial cloth designed by Florence Claxton elaborately embossed in gilt and black all edges gilt black glazed endpapers; iv5-156pp. Cloth a bit scuffed and worn along extremities with brief exposure at corners and spine ends spine cloth faded brief split to rear joint rear hinge cracked but holding textblock slightly shaken in binding else a Very Good bright example. Inscribed on front flyleaf to the American medium "Mrs. Hollis Billing With the kind regards of The Author / November 1879. London." Scarce collection of humorous poems and vignettes by the British author and editor of The Spiritualist. Running in the London Spiritualist circles Harrison would presumably have made the acquaintance of the inscribee American medium Mary Hollis Billing and her husband who served on the 1877 Committee of the Theosophical Society in London. Contents only glancingly Spiritualist though true to form the imprint provides the publication date based on different calendars: A.D. 1877 Popular Chronology; A.M. 5877 Torquemada; A.M. 50800077 Huxley. Like many Spiritualists of the day Harrison was especially interested in photography and several pieces in this volume relate to the art and science of the form. Notably "The Lay of the Photographer" describes in nineteen stanzas the chemical transformations of pyroxylin iodine and silver to develop photographs. Needless to say the poem is not very good. Advertisements for the present work attribute the cover design to British illustrator cartoonist and fringe Pre-Raphaelite Florence Claxton 1838-1920. One contemporary reviewer aptly describes the book as "handsomely-bound and griffin-guarded" Liverpool Daily Courier. William H. Harrison unknown books
