8vo., with coloured frontispiece, 11 coloured plates and 48 plates in monochrome, frontispiece remargined at foot, title lightly spotted, some occasional mild spotting to text; original decorative brown cloth blocked in gilt and black, gilt back, covers mildly age-marked, two corners mildly bruised, very neatly rebacked with old backstrip laid down, a very good, firm copy. With advertisement front endpapers in sepia and 11pp of similar advertisements at end. 'All About Cookery' (first issued under this title in 1871) is a derivative of Isabella Beeton's final work 'The Dictionary of Cookery'. The 'Dictionary' was first published in 1865 and designed to full the gap between her classic (but highly-priced) 'Book of Household Management' and the cheaper 'Cookery'. A key feature of the work is the arrangement of its subject matter - recipes, menus, implements and so on - in alphabetical order for easy reference.

See Driver, p.101 and our own bibliography (in progress). Cagle 563 cites the 1903 edition with fewer plates.
