17966886Philadelphia: Printed by James Carey 83 N. Second-Street 1796. Duodecimo 16 x 10 cm. xiii 14-132 pages. Index. Illustrated with three plates; two engravings depicting carving and a third woodcut depicting "Arrangement of a Supper Table". ~ Third American edition first printing. Carter's popular English cookbook circa 1765 became one of the very earliest cookery books printed in the United States. The American printings preceding this one were: Boston: Edes & Gill of 1772 Lowenstein 4 and New York: Berry & Rogers of 1792 Lowenstein 7 and 1795 Lowenstein 8b. The Edes & Gill issue of 1772 was just the second American cookbook following the 1742 Alexandria printing of Eliza Smith's Compleat Housewife. The two Berry & Rogers printings contained a number of changes which better reflected the American context of these books and which greatly influenced Amelia Simmons in the creation of her foundational American Cookery of 1796. In a statement "To the readers" page ii it is explained that the sections on Gravies and Sauces has been moved to the front and indexed for reference within the other recipes "as the chief excellence of all cookery consists in a perfect acquaintance with the making of Gravies and Sauces". Contemporary half calf over marbled boards untitled gilt-ruled spine; joints and extremities rubbed. Lightly age-toned with some light foxing scattered spotting darkening at edges. Ink ownership signature "Samuel H. Tumler" to rear paste-down. Rare. OCLC locates twenty-three copies; Evans 30168; Lowenstein 15; not in Cagle; this printing not in Bitting.

1778WRCAM44871London: Henry Fenwick 1778. 88; 151pp. bound with: A PETITION OF THE FREEHOLDERS OF THE COUNTY OF MIDDLESEX. London: Henry Fenwick 1769. 11pp. Contemporary calf spine gilt leather label. Boards heavily worn head and foot of spine chipped. Very minor scattered foxing. Good plus. In a brown half morocco and cloth slipcase. The county of Middlesex essentially London was the heart of radical politics in England at the time of the Revolution and the greatest pro-American feeling was found in the merchants and working classes of the metropolis. The colonists often appealed directly to Middlesex for support. These works contain petitions relating to the American colonies dating from June 1774 to March 1778 including petitions regarding the Quebec Act in which the people express their concern over the encroachment of Catholicism and French influence in the colony. Likewise it includes the text of a letter from John Hancock to the mayor of London dated September 1775 expressing a hope for peace between Britain and the colonies. Adams notes that these two titles are often found bound together sometimes with other publications of the Council. The petition of the freeholders of Middlesex County concerns the John Wilkes case. Wilkes ran for Parliament and was elected as a radical candidate for Middlesex but was arrested and imprisoned shortly thereafter for seditious libel. Wilkes spoke out against the British war against the American colonies and his opposition to the Crown was a rallying point for the American cause. ESTC T108621 T108605 T43921.
