417 pages. Index. Appendices. Footnotes. List of sixty black and white illustrations. A rare surviving copy of this important reference, made all the more engaging by today's environment of competing fiat currency devaluations. "Hitherto Numismatists when stydying the Origines of Coinage had confined themselves to the materials presented to them in the earliest money of Lydia, Greece and Italy, and on the other hand the Metrologists had almost completely limited their range of observation to the systems of Babylon, Egypt, Greece and Rome. As the Comparative Method has yielded such excellent results in the study of other human institutions, I have endeavoured by its aid to get some new principles which may throw some fresh light on the first beginnings of monetary and weight systems." - from Preface. Attractive gilt decoration upon green front board. Legible gilt lettering upon backstrip. Average external soiling and wear. Several chips from and lengthy openings along backstrip which has become brittle with age. Narrow opening along most of front hinge. Back hinge open. Bookplate discretely removed inside front board.

"The New England Kitchen" in The Brooklyn & Long Island Sanitary Fair February 22 1864 pages 72-78 states that this demonstration kitchen not of contemporary cooking methods but of old fashioned hearth cooking was a hit with the crowds at the fair and a significant financial success. An experiment in cooking education by example The New England Kitchen was aimed at weaning immigrants off of their food traditions and toward a "New England diet" see Laura Shapiro's excellent Perfection Salad pages 147 ff.

James of 247 Fulton Steet. We have located no sets of the photographs in any institution collection. the photographer; John D. Chase, Optician unknown
