Description:
London: Newton and Eskell, 59 & 60, Chancery Lane, 1891. Quarto in stiff, paper-covered boards (28 x 21.7 cm.), 103, [3] pages. Illustrated. Publisher's advertisements. Title from cover. FIRST & ONLY EDITION. An instructional work on Victorian napkin folding, with facing text and illustrations for forty-nine individual designs including the Fleur-de-Lis, the Tottie, the Dart Heel, the Yacht, Sugar Tongs, the Cinderella, the Prince of Wales' Feathers, and the Opera Glasses. The introduction insists that when entertaining, "the whole table may be spoiled by the napkins and their folding." Proper napkin folding "...requires practice, deftness, delicate fingering, and clean hands..." Internally sound and clean, but for a bit of light foxing. Printed paper-covered boards, over dark green, pebbled cloth. Some light wear to edges; general soil to the boards. Near very good. Small, early ownership ink stamp to front paste-down, "Claude Folley, Stweard". Rare. [OCLC locates one copy (BL)].

Description:
London: Duckworth, 3 Henrietta Street W.C. 2, 1927. Octavo (19.5 x 13.5 cm.), 160 pages. FIRST EDITION. A fine work on the acquisition of the best ingredients for fine dining, from the Director of the London Zoological Society's Aquarium. A good deal of emphasis is placed on the adventure experienced while pursuing quality ingredients. Four of the book's eight chapters are given over to fare of the sea, and the final chapter devotes itself to what we might today call "bizarre food" such as insects, baby mice, bats, salamanders and more. Some light soiling and foxing to text block; a few light pencil marks to margins. In publisher's royal blue cloth, gilt-titled at spine; rubbing to extremities, and spine bit darkened. Lacking the very scarce William Nicholson designed dust jacket. Good only.

Originally published London, 1810, and in Philadelphia, 1818 (see Cagle 567). Also see Cagle 566 for a lengthy description of the possible attribution of this work to Mrs. Rundell. We side with Cagle on this and find the attribution unlikely. A stated compilation, freely admitting the recipes are in large part gathered from other books. Culinary, household, medicinal, veterinary, and commercial recipes are gathered into a single volume. Includes sections on Fire, Fireworks (listed under Pleasing Experiments), and Fire-arms. Text block age-toned; some staining; one leaf with a corner tear not affecting text. In original brown calf with red morocco spine title, hinges tissue-strengthened inside and out; corners bumped.

New York: A. J. White, 54 Warren Street, 1882. Stapled booklet (20 x 15 cm.), 32 pages. Illustrated throughout. The third of the A.J. White Shaker almanacs. These promotional booklets - advertising the "Shaker Extract of Root" - were manufactured by the Mount Lebanon, New York United Society of Believers Community, but based on the recipes of Andrew Judson White, who contracted the Shakers to supply the tonic. Shaker Almanacs were produced by White for many years, but just a few of them are dedicated to cookery, at least in name. This booklet does contain a variety of Shaker culinary recipes, as well as stories of their history and other bits typical of the almanacs, but much of it is given over to glowing testimonials for the Shaker Extract of Root. A tiny bit of foxing throughout, otherwise fine, in publisher's illustrated wrappers. [OCLC locates ten copies; Richmond, Shaker Literature 21].
