Description:
This is a 48 page pamphlet covered by two saddle-stitched boards serving as dust jackets, with the front board illustrated. There is no publication date. Only a 1939 copyright, which we assume corresponds to the publication date. Interesting recipes and very nice small illustrations by Kellum throughout the book.Pages, pamphlet covers, and wooden covers are all in excellent condition. The only fault we could fine is that the upper ribbon tie (the ties seem to be original with the book) is frayed and probably needs to be replaced.

Description:
London: John Murray, 1819. A New Edition, corrected. 12mo, a frontispiece and eight engraved plates (of nine - lacking plate 6), pp lii, 354, a little age-toning and very slight foxing, the frontispiece is slightly offset on to the title page, but overall remarkably clean and tight internally, recently bound in a simple brown half calf and cloth, very good. [First published in 1805, it was a huge success and several editions followed; the book sold around half a million copies in Rundell's lifetime. The book was aimed at middle class housewives. In addition to dealing with food preparation, it offers advice on medical remedies and how to set up a home brewery and includes a section entitled "Directions to Servants". The book contains an early recipe for tomato sauce - possibly the first - and the first recipe in print for Scotch eggs. Rundell also advises readers on being economical with their food, and avoiding waste.]. Half-Leather. Very Good.
