First edition inscribed by London: "Dear Cloudesley - Who is ethically disinclined to my flimflamming a capitalist society out of a dollar and a half and who therefore as a good socialist must make explanation to another good socialist namely Jack London Glen Ellen July 17/05."<br/><br/>An excellent association copy of Jack London's boxing novel. According to London Cloudesley Johns was the first person who ever wrote him about his work offering praise of the stories "To the Man on Trail" and "The White Silence" in the January and February 1899 issues of the Overland. The resulting friendship lasted until London's death see The Book of Jack London 1899 p. 277ff. "If Jack had no mentor but himself Cloudesley had Jack London - a pugnacious mentor who seldom pulled his punches. Jack's advice was born of his own experience and to Johns as to many other aspiring writers he gave of it freely. They met on several occasions. During London's writing of The Sea Wolf in 1903 Johns came up to Piedmont and the two men sailed up to the mouth of the Sacramento River on Jack's sloop Spray. There they played chess swam shot ducks and mudhens fished talked and wrote. 'The more I see of Cloudesley the more I like him' Jack wrote. 'He is honest and loyal young and fresh understands the discipline of a boat and is a good cook to say nothing of being a good-natured and genial companion'" Walker and Reesman p. 15.

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.
