18905207Washington DC: Judd & Detweiler Printer 1890. Octavo 19.5 x 13.5 cm. 110 pages. Subtitle on cover and flyleaf: A Cook Book. "Index" page 17 is actually a table of contents. Advertisements on pages 1-14 and 95-110. First edition. Two hundred twenty ascribed recipes gathered in support of a beloved urban space where "The seats in the church are free at every service". The dishes bear echoes of a British and conservative culinary orientation: Clam Chowder English Rice Pudding Farcied i.e. stuffed Tomatoes Shrove Tuesday Pancakes Apple Roly-Poly Pickled Lemons Shrewsbury Cakes Soft Gingerbread Fig Pudding. Included is a Plum Pudding that made the rounds in post-Civil War cookbooks attributed to Mrs. General Sherman. Seldom is the immediate fund-raising goal of a church cookbook forthrightly stated but Mrs. Valk and Miss Newton left no doubt: "The ladies who have compiled this little volume hope that it may accomplish the double mission of helping to conserve domestic serenity and of pushing forward the good work to which its proceeds are to be devoted-the erection of St. Paul's Parish Building". The community now known as St. Paul's Parish at K Street was born of the missionary fervor that swept Washington in the aftermath of the Civil War. The first church was constructed in 1868 on 23rd Street between Pennsylvania Avenue and I Street NW not far from Washington Circle. No photographs of this first building appear to have survived. At once resolutely Anglo-Catholic and "free" - that is without reserved or rented pews - St. Paul's has since that time embraced an urban mission at the heart of the District. After the federal government seized the location by eminent domain in 1944 St. Paul's congregation built the church it now occupies on the south side of K Street. A number of pages spot- or splatter-stained a few with marks in pencil. Some soiling to edges of text block; textblock firm despite shaken covers. Bound in red publisher's cloth stained with black titling and blind-stamped decorative pattern; corners bumped. Good. Scarce. OCLC locates two copies; Cook page 49; no in Brown or Cagle.

A classic case of murder resulting from the exposure of adultery in flagrante. Edward Newton Rowell suspected his wife of having an affair with their former neighbor Johnson Lynch. In October 1883 he informed her that he would be leaving Batavia New York for several days on business and after she had invited Lynch over and taken him to bed Rowell burst in and shot him. The affair was apparently known to the public of Batavia and such was the support for Rowell that he was acquitted on charges of manslaughter the news of which was celebrated in town with bonfires and fireworks.

Signatures of the legendary evangelist are rare especially with such a lengthy inscription. Dwight Lyman Moody also known as D. L. Moody was an evangelist and publisher connected with the Holiness Movement who founded the Moody Church Northfield School and Mount Hermon School in Massachusetts Moody Bible Institute and Moody Publishers. One of his most famous quotes was "Faith makes all things possible. Love makes all things easy." Moody gave up his lucrative boot and shoe business to devote his life to revivalism working first in the Civil War with union troops through YMCA in the United States Christian commission. In Chicago he built one of the major evangelical centers in the nation which it is still active. Working with singer Ira Sankey he toured the country and Britain Europe drawing large crowds with a dynamic speaking style that preached God's love and friendship kindness and forgiveness rather than hellfire and condemnation.
