About This Item
London: John Murray, 1840. Hardback. pp. liv, 571. Black & white engravings. Sympathetically rebound in linen conserving original spine. Full of helpful observations on household management and sections on cookery for the poor and directions to servants. One of the most popular cookbooks during the first half of the nineteenth century. Book in very good condition. End papers lightly soiled. Book seller's ticket to front pastedown. Some toning and spotting to paper - mostly affecting the introductory section. Light sporadic spotting and occasional mark. A few pages 'dog-eared' and some light pencil marks here and there. The text block is still very sound and perfectly readable and the contents are often highly entertaining. Overall, a very good copy.
