8vo., Tenth Edition [styled 'Ninth Edition' on title], on laid paper, free endpapers mildly browned, title lightly dust-soiled, some mild and inoffensive age-staining (principally at fore-margins and edges); in SIGNED BINDING BY BIRDSALL OF NORTHAMPTON of nineteenth century cloth boards, tree calf back, backstrip with six gilt rules, second compartment with original leather label lettered and ruled in gilt, label worn but gilt mainly legible, uncut, sometime neatly recased with new endpapers to style, joints cracked (but binding entirely sound), a very good, crisp copy. Vernor and Hood [and many others], 1805 Charlotte Mason's important collection was first published in 1773 and Maclean records a further seven eighteenth-century editions. Bitting adds a Dublin imprint of 1778 as a result of which subsequent copies are one edition later than that stated, hence that with 'eighth edition' on title in actually the ninth (Cagle 864) and the present issue (styled 'ninth edition') is actually the tenth (see Cagle pp. 621-3). The present edition retains the introduction to the first edition, the advertisement to the sixth edition, and the appendix on poultry, the dairy, the kitchen and fruit gardens. Scarce in any early edition.

4to., First Edition thus, with 8 coloured plates, very numerous monochrome illustrations (a number full-page) in the text and decorative endpapers; yellow cloth, gilt back, a very good, bright, clean copy in dustwrapper. First published in 1970, this is arguably the best of the single-volume compendia of herbs and spices. A well-known mountaineer and member of Hunt's 1953 Everest Expedition, Stobart later developed two other careers - as photographer and cookery writer. This volume was some twenty years in the making. Curiously elusive in this condition.

Illustrated by J.E. Laboureur. Xavier Marcel Boulestin 1878- 20 September 1943 was a French chef restaurateur and the author of cookery books that popularised French cuisine in the English-speaking world.

Frontispiece and many other line illustrations by J E Laboureur full page in text and as chapter vignettes and end pieces.

The dustwrapper is priced 12s 6d net to the inside flap and is in VG condition with the usual browning to the spine with creasing and minor loss at the head. This is an important copy as it includes the following Elizabeth David ephemera: a on page 71 is a piece of paper upon which Elizabeth David has written "p.71. Marks for the cook" referring to a paragraph on that page that 'in a good meal the marks awarded to the cook should be so divided - 60% for the preparation and 40% for the choice of the dishes and the buying of the ingredients'. There is true wisdom. b on page 82-83 Elizabeth David has written the letter x at the beginning and end of a passage concerning the origins of creme brulee which had been attributed by Boulestin to M. Hartmann the Swiss Chef of Trinity College Cambridge. Elizabeth David's response on the back of a letter inviting her in 1963 to stay at the Bell Inn Aston Clinton Bucks was "Creme brulee was absolutely not invented by Hartmann. It's been known early in the 18th century probably earlier". c Enclosed in an envelope at the front of the book is a Menu from Boulestin's French Restaurant dated 26.9.36. Elizabeth David comments in green ink on a separate piece of paper: "Menu decoration is Boulestin's house in the Landes "Leus Bignes" by Galamis". Photographs/scans available upon request.

First Edition, xiv,[ii],123,[3],[2],324pp., part II has a separate title-page, pagination and register, without endpaper, cont. calf, rubbed, hinges cracked. "The preface is signed 'Arabella Atkyns', which the B.M. catalogue says is a pseudonym. In it she states that the medical portion, which is much larger than the cookery, is taken from a common-place book of her brother who was a physician. It may be mentioned that she is the first lady who apologizes for her boldness in venturing to treat certain maladies which a lady would hardly be expected ti include. The cookery part is well arranged, the medical part is full of horrors. The treatment for appendicitis is to 'apply a live puppy to the naked belly' and follow up with a cataplasm of rotten apples or of 'sheeps-dung boil'd with milk'."?Oxford, English Cookery Books. Oxford, p.71; Maclean, p.49; Bitting, p.550; Cagle, 673; Pennell, p.150; Simon, 658.

8vo., First Edition, free endpapers faintly spotted; green cloth, gilt back, a near fine copy in unclipped dustwrapper. THE ORIGINAL EDITION IS ALREADY ELUSIVE IN THIS CONDITION.
8vo., First Edition, with engraved frontispiece and 13 engraved plates, title and fore-edges mildly spotted, recipe in a neat contemporary hand on frontispiece recto; original dark green pebble-grain cloth, red roan back, wanting B7 (pp. 15-16), neatly rebacked with large fragments of old backstrip gilt laid down, yellow endpapers, a very good, firm copy of a very scarce work. RARE; AND APPARENTLY UNRECORDED IN THIS GUISE. This may well be a third edition, with an original title, of Walsh's 'English Cookery Book'. This latter work was first published in 1858 (Cagle 1045) with a second edition in 1859 (see Simon BG 1595). A possible substantiation is that all three works acknowledge [in the title] the assistance of 'a committee of ladies'. The present work is considerably more illustrated. Further to confuse, Walsh states in his Preface (dated 1857) that the present work, together with its possible forbears, are all themselves extracted from his 'Manual of Domestic Economy', the bibliography of which is equally labyrinthine. Not in BLPC; Cagle (but see 1045); Simon BG (but see 1595). We have able to find no copy in any of the standard bibliographies.
12mo., with engraved frontispiece original tissue guard present), and 7 engraved plates, some light age-soiling (mainly marginal) throughout; publisher's dark green pebble-grain cloth, upper board blocked and lettered in gilt, expertly rebacked in red roan lettered in gilt to style, hand-made endpapers, a remarkably well-preserved copy of a scarce work. This popular and influential work purports to contain 'many unpublished receipts in daily use by private families, collected by a Committee of Ladies'. It was first published in 1858 [Cagle 1045] with a second edition in 1859 [Simon 1595]. The plates depict kitchen implements, trussing and carving. From the Preface we learn that Walsh intended this work as a complement to his 'The English Housekeeper's Book' published in the same year as this edition. EXTREMELY SCARCE, ESPECIALLY IN THIS CONDITION.
