About This Item
Philadelphia: Isaac Riley, 1818. Red leather spine label. Old notations on endpapers. Old water-stain front few pages. General browning of pages with foxing. Some pages however are completely devoid of the stains. Sections on cooking, home remedies and medicines, pickling, distilling, confectionary, dyeing and painting, agriculture, and more! 378pp. First edition of 284pp. was published in 1814. "Receipt" was the old term used for "recipe", both taken from the Latin "recipere", to receive or take. Quite an interesting collection of material on a variety of subjects. The author sounds like a nom de plume but we were unable to confirm that. Please see photos.. Second Edition. Full Old Brown Calf. General Moderate Cover Wear/No Dust Jacket. 4 1/4" x 6 3/4".
