"Spotted Dog" is a kind of pudding and is also the favorite pudding of Jack Aubrey the fictional creation of writer Patrick O'Brian. Aubrey's adventures as an officer of the British Navy--and those of his friend and ship's surgeon Stephen Maturin--during the tumultuous years of the Napoleonic Wars have been masterfully detailed in O'Brian's many novels; now Anne Chotzinoff Grossman and her daughter Lisa Grossman take readers on a culinary adventure through the kitchens and cuisine of the early 19th century. Since food figures prominently in O'Brian's novels his fans will already be familiar with such names as Skillygalee Drowned Baby Soused Hog's Face and Jam Roly-Poly but they may wonder exactly what those dishes are. Lobscouse and Spotted Dog makes it all clear: Skillygalee for example is oatmeal gruel while Drowned Baby is similar to Spotted Dog only without the currants and eggs. And Spotted Dog is. You'll find the recipe in the Grossmans' book along with excerpts from the Aubrey/Maturin novels and many other authentic 19th-century dishes to test your sense of adventure your culinary prowess and possibly your waistline.

H219Berlin bey Haude und Spener 1772. XVI 232 pp. Without the errata leaf. Decorative contemporary full calf spine richly gilt. Lacks lettering piece. Foxing and brownspotting throughout but else a very good copy! Extremely rare and important - the very first printed account to have been published on one of Cook's voyages written by one of Cook's crew and published almost 2 years before Hawkesworth's book! - This volume 'which is the earliest printed account of Cook's voyage' is an extremely important work . published two months after the return of the navigator and nearly two years before Hawkesworth's eagerly awaited account' Cox. - Authorship of this anonymously published work has never been definitely clarified. It is generally assumed that the book was written by James Maria Magra Matra. The assumption made by some that it might have been Banks' or Solander's work was called 'flamboyantly absurd' by Beaglehole. The translator of the work was convinced that the book was written by William Perry the second surgeon 'who took this account from the diary of the first ship's surgeon who died at the Cape of Good Hope. What makes this all the more probable and nearly certain is the fact that the surgeons were the only persons excempt from the prohibition to publish reports on the voyage' transl. - A 'Letter to the translator from a friend in London' Sendschreiben eines Freundes in London an den Uebersetzer pp. 202-232 was included in the book. It includes a very detailed preview of the route planned for Cook's second voyage preparations for which were at that time just being made. Banks and Solander are still mentioned as natural scientists to accompany the voyage. In addition mention is made of the first discovery of the breadfruit tree by Anson and the kangaroo is described - most probably for the very first time the animal was mentioned in any book.

5308IMPROVED ORDER OF RED MEN. The Order of Red Men is an American fraternity which follows supposedly-Native American not authentic practices. Its membership has historically been white men. Its main values are patriotism liberty and morality. The order was founded in 1834 reached its peak in the first half of the Twentieth Century and survives to the present day.TD. 13pgs. N.d. 1915. N.p. Denver Colorado. An incomplete typescript with hand-written additions of a eulogy to Marion Cook 1864-1915. Cook was a Great Sachem of the Denver Colorado tribe of the Order of Red Men and this tribute was written by and for his fellow members. The document seems to include either multiple separate eulogies possibly written by different brothers or different drafts of the same speech. It speaks to Cooks origins political views religious views and service to the fraternity and celebrates of Cooks character and deeds. Although the writer claims to be simple and inarticulate the eulogy is quite effective. DEDICATED TO THE MEMORY OF MARION COOKSuffice it to say that he came from good New England stock and was born on a farm in Laurens Ostego County New York on August 24th. 1854 and died at Shelton Nebraska on October 21 1915 having reached the age of 51 years 1 month and 27 daysBrother Cook was left fatherless very early in life his father having died when Marion was about eleven years of age. Soon after the death of his father the family emigrated from the State of New York to Nebraska. Thus early in life we find him struggling for the meager education which the District Schools of the plains of Nebraska afforded at that timeI said before that Brother Cook came from good New England stock and was intensely American in his makeup. He read and believe in the Declaration of Independence; he believed that every man was a soverign sic and not a serf. Far be it for me to say that he was narrow minded or contracted in his views. On the contrary he was a broad minded American citizen who believed that it was possible for the man who came to these shores on the City of Rome and landed in Castle Garden to be just as good a citizen and just as patriotic as the man whose ancestors came on the Mayflower and landed on Plymouth Rock. He knew th sic the history of his Country and was jealous of her institutions. Dearly did he love the priceless legacy of freedom which the fathers of this Republic handed down to us. Bigotry nor selfishness found no lodgment in his great catholic soul. The liberty which he claimed for himself under our constitution and laws he cheerfully conceded to others. To himour sic boasted liberty did not mean a license to commit crime or to trample on the rights of his fellow man. He thought the rich and the poor the high and the low the learned and the unlearned should alike be amenable to the laws of our countryMy friends you knew Brother Book best as a Red Man. I knew his best as a friend. I am sure that Marion Cook would not wish me to stand here and say that he was without spot or blemish or that he was a faultless man. He was a human being and was therefore subject to human weakness and the frailties common to all mankind but in all confidence I stand here and say that his life was an open book which could be seen and read of all men. Secret vices he had none. Cant and hypocrisy could not thrive in his manly soul; he was a stranger to deceit and deception. I ask you in the name of charity to forget all his shortcomings and bury his mistakes of whatever nature in the grave of oblivion and remember only those things which endeared him to every Red Man in Colorado. Look at the mighty giant as he trod the mountains and valleys of this reservation preaching the gospel of peace and equality and inculcating the principles of your Order and mine into the minds and hearts of the people. And after one year of unceasing toil we see him return from his labors as a conqueroring sic hero with two thousand names added to your membershipHis work is done; his task completed and he will live only in memory now. The obliterating hand of time may erase letters chiseled in granite but the epitaphs he wrote on the hearts of men are imperishable and will live forever. Monuments of bronze and brass may decay crumble into dust and be scattered by the four winds of Heaven but seeds of kindness sown by him will grow throughout eternity. By the convulsions of time mountains may be destroyed and governments pass away but the principles of Freedom Friendship and Chariy which he taught will live until time shall be no moreMy friends we ought to be able to draw a few practical lessons from the life of this plain man of the people. Like him our education may be meager and our means for doing good be very limited but like him we can always find some one poorer than ourselves to whom we can render assistance. It costs nothing to speak words of cheer and scatter sunshine in dark places. The document seems to be incomplete as it breaks off in the middle of a sentence. It is otherwise in good condition with various minor faults. unknown
