About This Item
London: Printed for Thomas Tegg... [inter alia] 1826. 12mo, 170 x 100 mms., pp. 4, ix [x table of wages], 258, 4 (?of 5) engraved plates between pages viii and ix, uncut, recently rebound in hald olive morocco, marbled boards, gilt spine (sun faded), red leather label; a few stains in text, but a very good copy. There are a number of references to Mrs. Holland's cookery book in the periodica press between 1825 and about 1855, so it seems to have been a popular item. Some information on her cookery book is found at https://comestepbackintime.wordpress.com/2011/10/06/heroines-from-the-history-of-english-domestic-cookery-mrs-mary-holland/ The earliest printed copy that I could locate on OCLC was printed in 1825. This edition is descriped at "The Sixth Edition," which perhaps ought to be take cum grano salis, as Tegg published another "Sixth Edition" in 1729. One of the 1825 printings is similarly described as a sixth edition.
