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".
