"In August 1677 Lamb was appointed as master cook to the queen consort held in tandem with the office of sergeant of his majesty's pastry in ordinary to which he was elevated in November 1677. Finally in February 1683 Lamb attained the status of master cook to the monarch. He was reappointed to this post under the successive household regulations of James II William and Mary and Anne and was removed from it only by death. His services as a royal cook encompassed the provision of prepared dishes for daily and extraordinary consumption by the monarch and his guests at table.Lamb's culinary skills were most effectively demonstrated in extraordinary events and his claims for large expenditures on such occasions as the Westminster visit of the Venetian ambassadors in December 1685 testify to the splendour of these.These and other junkets are evoked in the text of Royal Cookery published posthumously in London under Lamb's name by John Morphew and Abel Roper in 1710 and subsequently reprinted in 1716 1726 and 1731. The text incorporated recipes for elaborate dishes alongside engravings of lavish table layouts for occasions such as royal suppers. Such details suggest that the text was drawn from Lamb's papers rather than being speculatively published under his name as some contemporaries contended." Oxford DNB. Bitting Pg.271. ESTC T91553.

17971896London: Printed by N. Biggs for J. Cottle Bristol and Messrs. Robinsons 1797. Second edition. Rare presentation copy of the 1797 second edition much revised by Coleridge and greatly expanded with new poems by both authors. Small octavo modern quarter red morocco raised bands marbled boards and end-papers top edge gilt. Early presentation note from Charles Lamb bound in before the title page: "To my dear friend William Hone Charles Lamb Oct. 1811." <br/><br/>Hone was a literary man and something of an early entrepreneur. One venture that ultimately ended in failure was his stint as an antiquarian bookseller. His friendship with Charles Lamb is well-documented.<br/><br/>The first edition and Coleridge's first book of poems published the previous year contained Lamb's first published verses. The second edition was published after Coleridge extensively revised his contribution and added a new Preface. Lamb added an additional 10 poems to the second edition including "Childhood" in addition to the four that were published in the first edition. <br/><br/>Two bookplates on the front paste-down front end-paper cracking. Inscription a bit faded but easily legible. A lovely copy with an excellent association. This copy previously sold by Bauman Rare Books. Printed by N. Biggs, for J. Cottle, Bristol, and Messrs. Robinsons unknown books
