About This Item
Oxford: Mrs. C.L.H. Wallace, 1883. First Edition. First edition. 135, [3], xii pp. Bound in publisher's dark green cloth with elaborate gilt and black stamping, patterned endpapers. Very Good+ with light wear, a few tiny stains to cloth, a few spots of foxing to edges, hinges starting.
A scarce vegetarian cookbook with daily recipes, complete with an in-season meal planner, four courses per meal, ("a soup, a savoury course, a sweet course, a cheese course, and a beverage, with all their suitable accompaniments"), with no duplication of recipes. A cook's guide is at the rear detailing the preparation of many of the dishes in the menus.
Wallace (1854-1927) was a spiritualist and healer who strongly advocated a vegetarian diet as a cure-all. She also was a crusader against both public vaccination and alcohol.
Scarce. Only three copies of this edition located in a recent OCLC Worldcat search.
