Botanical Drawing: Gouache on Paper

English manuscript/typescript recipe book Murphy RH. R. H.ABAA

R.H. Murphy Cookery Book

19207573United Kingdom 1920. Quarto-sized spring-back binder 29 x 24 cm. 10 84 pages numbered by hand. Detailed table of contents. Title from cover. Many leaves are carbon with a few the original and most leaves have a few holograph edits. Paper watermarked "Silver Line". An illustrated advertisement for the "Rekarts Instantaneous Spring Back Binder" pasted-down to front interior binding panel. Laid-in is an original photograph 20.5 x 16 cm. signed by the photographer "Thos. Tindall Hancock" the subject of the photo is presumably the compiler R.H. Murphy. ~ A "manuscript" cookbook with more than three hundred eighty recipes in ditto or mimeograph alternating blue or black ink many with holograph edits. Based on the style of edits textual and not culinary and the detailed Table of Contents it seems likely this was a compilation being prepared for publication. We have not however been able to identify a published work that corresponds with this text. After the nine page table of contents listing all the recipes there are three pages of miscellaneous remarks on cooking followed by sections on soups fish breakfast dishes joints and meats sweets and puddings iced sweets sweets and puddings and desserts again savouries vegetables sauces liquids juices and jams and cakes and breads. Desserts or sweets are the vast majority of recipes. Another section "Knitting and Miscellaneous" though referred to in the table of contents is missing. A range of recipes from various traditions is included spellings original: Mulligtawn soup palestine soup becamel of chicken Ketcherei with Finnan Haddock lobster a la Neuberg a breakfast cold chicken cream in aspic Neapolitan eggs hashed mutton beef galantine sardine fritters devils on horseback angels on horseback Welsh rabbit Mrs. Dunsmuir's Prize cake Sally Lunn Jessica's eggless cake a faroli souffle chocolate drops. Some recipes are labeled "War" likely wartime recipes which would at least provide an earliest date as during or post-WWI. Attributions are given for some recipes "Alice" "Gwen" "Francis" "Olivia" "Dorothy" "Margaret" "Jessica" "Mrs. Allen" "Dr. Lumsden" "Mrs. Freeman Plymouth" "Miss Fyfe" "Alice Monroe" "Mrs. Hall" "Nonnie Bennett" etc. The frequent use of first names indicates a casualness not seen in most earlier compilations. ~ In a brown pebbled cloth-covered spring-back binder gilt-titled on the front board. Some light soil to some text leaves and some closed tears to edges of interior folder. Light dusting to boards other wise very good. hardcover books

UNCLAIMED ENGLISH ESTATE INHERITENCE SCHEMEABAA

Signed archive of rare United States Government circulars enclosures and supplements

18882540891888. hardcover. These documents are dated from 1884 to 1892. Several are signed in type by Robert Todd Lincoln American Ambassador to the United Kingdom Department of State. 13.25 x 8.25-inch slim folio-sized volume bound with marble boards and leather 20 pages with the addition of an important typed letter signed by Benjamin F. Butler investigating a mass inheritance fraud perpetrated on the citizens of America by con artists in the United Kingdom. During this period American citizens would be notified that they were heirs to a large unclaimed English Estate or perhaps a large sum of money held in the Bank of England. To receive their inheritance they were told that certain legal fees and real estate transfer taxes would have to be paid to agents of the British Government. Another variation of the scheme involved American con artists placing advertisements in newspapers calling themselves "European claim agencies" and charging Americans exorbitant fees for investigating the ownership of non-existing estates. Lincoln is flustered because the American Legation in London is receiving hundreds of letters from American citizens who were swindled and yet little was being done in the United States to educate its citizens to the magnitude of the fraud. Mr. Lincoln to Mr. Blaine extract March 3 1891 ".since March 4 1889 one hundred and ninety 190 letters have been received at this Legation alleging the writers claims to large estates in England or to fantastic sums of money 'in chancery' or 'in the Bank of England' none of them containing an element of probability." In conclusion is a typed letter signed by former Union General Benjamin F. Butler 1 page on law office letterhead Boston November 14 1888 whereby he brings to light the vast magnitude of the con in part: ".I have now been more than 45 years in the practice of a legal profession more or less extensively. I have heard of more than 4500--I hope I do not exaggerate--cases of large estates in England awaiting American heirs and I have been consulted in a very great many and early in life looked into such matters; but I have not for the last 25 years at all because I never have heard of one dollar coming from England to any American heir on account of such estates. In the first place it is a legal impossibility unless the heirs are British subjects.all those I have ever known about are swindles." Leather binding worn at the spine with light fading to the marble boards. All interior documents are in good to very good condition.<br/><br/> unknown books
