Renowned as an epicure and gastronome he worked on his Physiologie du Gout all his life assembling it just before he died; it was privately published at his expense just two months before his death. Neither a cookery book nor a memoir it is rather a discussion of the nature of eating in its widest sense. It starts with twenty gastronomical "aphorismes" perhaps the best known being "IV tell me what you eat and I will tell you who you are"; then thirty "méditations" and finishes with twenty-seven 'variétés' in the form of anecdotes adventures recipes and inventions.<br /> <br /> "For the French and outsides alike this work early attained the status of an exemplary culinary text perhaps the exemplary text. the Physiology of Taste civilizes eating. Moreover it socializes food and it does so by recounting in story after story our social relations with food. it appears to us today as something of a sociology of taste ahead of its time" Priscilla Parkhurst Ferguson Accounting for Taste: The Triumph of French Cuisine Chicago: University of Chicago Press 2004 p. 31.<br /> <br /> George Macy 1900-1956 founded the Limited Editions Club of New York in 1929 to publish in limited editions of 1500 copies beautifully illustrated classic titles to club members who had paid a subscription. Between 1929 and 1985 Macy published 548 books roughly 10-12 a year each individually designed and illustrated and usually signed and numbered by the best artists and book illustrators. The Physiology of Taste is the only 'food book' so published.<br /> <br /> M.F.K. Fisher Mary Frances Kennedy Fisher Parrish Friede 1908 – 1992 was a revered American food writer. She wrote 27 books many on food and gastronomy. This translation released on Christmas Eve 1949 was universally praised. "Craig Claiborne of the New York Times said Fisher's prose perfectly captured the wit and gaiety of the book and lauded the hundreds of marginal glosses that she added to elucidate the text."¹<br /> <br /> Félix Roy who went by the name 'Sylvain Sauvage' 1888-1948 was a French artist and prolific book illustrator. He illustrated several books for the Limited Editions Club. He died shortly before publication of this volume leaving the print run unusually for the Limited Editions Club unsigned.<br /> <br /> John Fuller 1916-2001 had a long career in hospitality journalism and education. Formerly Director of the Scottish Hotel School at the University of Strathclyde Professor Fuller was until his retirement in 1976 Head of the Department of Catering Management at Oxford Polytechnic. He was also a significant collector of culinary material and the author of a number of hospitality culinary and restaurant text books many still relevant today. The John Fuller Collection is held at Oxford Brookes University.<br /> <br /> A lovely copy of the most poetic and highly regarded English translation delightfully illustrated from the library of a significant culinary collector.<br /> <br /> § Newman R G.

Original glassine over printed wrappers with red and black lettring to front covers and spines.<br /> <br /> Originally published in December 1825 two months before the author's death the "Physiologie du goût" The Physiology of Taste has remained extremely important and has repeatedly been re-analyzed through the years. "In a series of meditations that owe something to Montaigne's Essays and have the discursive rhythm of an age of leisured reading and a confident pursuit of educated pleasures Brillat-Savarin discourses on the pleasures of the table which he considers a science. His French models were the stylists of the Ancien Régime: Voltaire Rousseau Fénelon Buffon Cochin and d'Aguesseau" see Hugh Chisholm's "Brillat-Savarin Anthelme" in Encyclopaedia Britannica 11th edition Cambridge University Press 1911 page 571.<br /> <br /> One of 4800 numbered copies on Alfa Verge paper.<br /> <br /> Some age-toning to glassine.
