Maclean describes an additional printing of the first edition printed for and sold by Maurice Atkins. "Lamb brought a touch of French snobbery to traditional English recipes for an increasingly prosperous group of wealthy merchants urban professionals and rural gentry. His recipes show a preference for French-style stewed and braised dishes over the boiled staples of seventeenth century England" Anne Willan The Cook Book Library page 197. As cook to five kings and queens of England "few others could possibly afford to emulate the vast spreads of exotic and costly foods which Lamb so often called for in his book of Royal recipes."

The work describes each island separately focussing on its history discovery natural resources and inhabitants. It also gives important information on prominent Azorean families including the author's own. These parts are preceded by shorter parts about the history of Portugal the Canaries Cape Verde and Madeira with references to Brazil and the Americas. This work rarely appears on the market.Antonio Cordeiro 1641-1722 was a Jesuit priest born on Terceira. He based his work on one of the most important pre 17th-century sources on Macaronesia Saudades da terra by historian Gaspar Frutoso ca. 1522-1591. Until its publication the manuscript was kept in the library of the Jesuit College of Ponta Delgada on the island São Miguel in the Azores where Cordeiro probably found it. Cordeiro's work closely follows the structure of the Saudades. Furthermore he used is as a main source for the 16th-century history of the region including the description of the sugarcane industry in Madeira. After sugarcane was introduced there in the 1430s Madeira soon became the most important location for the production of sugar for the Portuguese producing 20000 arrobas a unit of measure similar to 10-15 kg's of the finest grade sugar per year. Unfortunately due to diseases in the sugarcane crops the industry started to decline in the second half of the 16th century. Initially neighbouring islands took over before the production of sugar was eventually moved to Brazil.With a manuscript number on the front pastedown "6770" a round sticker underneath "66" and remnants of a paper label.
