1591CAT0004511591. Good Condition. Hand colored engraving light foxing and soiling paper thinned in upper margin from prior mounting.<br/><br/>It reads translation from Discovering the New World Based on the Works of Theodore de Bry Harper & Row 1976: As can be seen from the preceding illustrations this area abounds with very agreeable little islands. The rivers are not deep; the pure clear water scarcely reaches the chest. When the Indians want to make an enjoyable excursion with their wives and children they go to these islands. They either swim across the river for they are excellent swimmers or they wade across carrying the little children. In fact the mothers can manage three children at once the smallest on a shoulder clutching its hand and the other two under her arms. With the free hand the women carry a basket full of fruit or other food for the occasion. For fear of meeting enemies the men carry bows and arrows. In order not to wet them they attach the quiver to their hair and hold the bows stretched and ready with and arrow prepared instantly to defend themselves as can be seen in our engraving.

Even though there had been tremendous efforts in the late 19th century to provide better public health housing and education many children were still no more healthy than they had been back in the 1840s. The new Liberal government elected in 1906 passed various measures to try to deal with this problem.and they gave permission for schools to offer meals to their pupils" National Archives. Efforts to consider the link between education and nutrition had begun in the lead-up to the laws however; and the present work is a scarce surviving example of such a cookery. Its compilers note in the preface "This collection of Recipes has been prepared specially for Day and Evening Schools. The instructions of the Education Department.have been embodied." Given the book's brevity it contains a multitude of basic nutritious and locally accessible foods that can be combined for a variety of different meals -- always with an eye to giving growing students the fuel they need to grow and thrive in their schooldays. There is even included a selection of recipes designed for the sickroom when students are ill and need extra care for their health. A research-rich compendium. Near Fine. John Haywood unknown books
