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.

1907293050New York: The Neale Publishing Company 1907. First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good binding. Signed. 181pp. 8vo in green buckram; titling in gilt to the upper board and the spine. The spine as is often the case has faded to brown. There is a previous owner name on the endpaper. This copy is signed by Mrs. Stanard on the title page.~~A fine choice for Virginia history lovers to read on a chill winter's night. Krick says that "Mrs. Stanard tells the story of this 1676 incident well though not thoroughly. Critics were quick to point out the unseemly romanticism of the work and its unswerving devotion to Bacon and his supporters." We confess to liking our history was a generous dose of "unseemly romanticism" and nice to have Mrs. Stanard's first solo work signed by her.~ Krick 475. Very Good binding.
