This last leaf contains receipts for bite of a mad dog and cure for the Plague. I have tracked down another 2nd edition and also one 1st edition that also have this last leaf lacking-it seems that the cures printed on that leaf were in high demand at that time.

Early printing of the best-selling recipe book of the eighteenth century. Octavo, bound in three quarter crushed morocco with gilt titles and tooling to the spine. From the library of William Safire with his bookplate to the pastedown. William Safire was an important American author, columnist, journalist, and presidential speechwriter. He joined Nixon� s campaign for the 1960 Presidential race, and again in 1968. After Nixon� s 1968 victory, Safire served as a speechwriter for him and Spiro Agnew. He authored several political columns in addition to his weekly column � On Language� in The New York Times Magazine from 1979 until the month of his death and authored two books on grammar and linguistics: The New Language of Politics (1968) and what Zimmer called Safire� s � magnum opus,� Safire� s Political Dictionary. Safire later served as a member of the Pulitzer Prize Board from 1995 to 2004 and in 2006 was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President George W. Bush. Title page, preface and table of contents supplied in facsimile. With a recipe in Safire's mother's handwriting on his Safire Public Relations, Inc. letterhead and an autograph note from his Aunt Pearl laid in and two typed letters on Library of Congress letterhead tipped in at rear addressed to Safire attempting to help him identify the edition of the present volume as it is lacking the first several leaves. In very good condition. A unique example with noted provenance. First published in 1747, Hannah Glasse's The Art of Cookery Made Plain and Easy was a bestseller for a century after its first publication, dominating the English-speaking market and making Glasse one of the most famous cookbook authors of her time. The book ran through at least 40 editions, many of which were copied without explicit author consent. It was published in Dublin from 1748, and in America from 1805. The 1751 edition was the first book to mention trifle with jelly as an ingredient; the 1758 edition gave the first mention of "Hamburgh sausages" and piccalilli, while the 1774 edition of the book included one of the first recipes in English for an Indian-style curry. The book was popular in the Thirteen Colonies of America, and its appeal survived the American War of Independence, with copies being owned by Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson and George Washington.

Cloth. Condition: Good. Not Stated (illustrator). An 1843 edition of Hannah Glasse's popular cookery work, 'The Art of Cookery Made Plain and Easy', illustrated here with a frontispiece and numerous in-text illustrations. With a half-title. Illustrated with a frontispiece, and nineteen in-text illustrations. Collated, complete. 'The Art of Cookery Made Plain and Easy' is a prominent cookery book that became a bestseller for a century after its publication in 1747. It dominated the English speaking market, and gave the author, Hannah Glasse, much fame. The popularity of the work was international, with the likes of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Benjamin Franklin even owning copies, with its popularity surviving the American War of Independence. In this work, Glasse explains that she used simpler language so that the servants who used the book would be able to understand it. The work includes one of the first recipe in English for an Indian style curry, and was also the first book to mention a recipe for trifle using jelly as an ingredient, as well as being the first to use the term 'Yorkshire pudding' in print. Glasse also makes use of many imported ingredients, such as cocoa, cinamon, pistachios, and nutmeg. Glasse's approach is sometimes confusing, not giving a list of ingredients preceding the recipe, and also often not giving ingredient quantities, or any indicant of cooking time of oven temperature. She also has an anti-French approach, disapproving of the French influence on British food, though she still gave ingredients with French names and influence. About one third of the recipes in this work were copied from other cookery books. This work is an octavo. Hannah Glasse was best known for this wok, which was originally published anonymously under the tag 'by a lady'. She also published 'The Servants' Directory', and 'The Compleat Confectioner', though neither works were as successful as 'The Art of Cookery Made Plain and Easy'. She wrote the work to raise money for her family. Her and her husband, who was fourteen years her senior, and Irishman subaltern who was on half-pay and with whom she eloped, were greatly struggling financially. After the success of this work, she became a dressmaker in Covent Garden. Though her clients included the Princess Augusta, Glasse ran up debts, and was imprisoned for bankruptcy. Prior owner's ink inscription to the recto to the front endpaper, 'Margaret Crest Brook', 'J. Tennant, 1905'. In the original publisher's cloth binding. Externally, generally smart, though the boards are a little cockled. Slight discolouration to the boards, and a ringmark to the front board. Light bumping to the head and tail of the spine and to the extremities. Small loss to the head and tail of the joints. Prior owner's ink inscription to the recto to the front endpaper.

The first page of text, following the contents pages, has the facsimile signature of Hannah Glass. There is also a reference on p354 (Additions) to the fifth edition, which would make this a sixth or later edition. Hardback. 8vo. Lacking all before p11 - p24 (contents), p21 - p361 (main body of text), p362 - p406 Appendix to the Art of Cookery, Advertisement leaf for ensuing section, p407 - 417 Receipts for Perfumery &c., p419 -p436 Index, then lacking p437 - p440, p441 - p442 Index. Rebound in quarter calf with raised bands to spine and new end-papers. This is an authorized edition, as indicated by the facsimile of the author's signature to the headpiece of the first page of the text. Up until the fourth edition, there was no author's name beyond the 'by a lady' style of the title page and James Boswell attributed the authorship to Dr John Hill in his 'Life of Johnson'. Glasse's book ran to twenty editions during the eighteenth century and was arguably the most popular cookery book of its time. Although many of the recipes came from other cookery books her work did include a significant amount of original material, including the first recipes in English for curry as well as three recipes for pilau, she was also the first to use the term 'Yorkshire pudding" in print. Neither Bitting nor Vicaire list this variant with the added section on Receipts for Perfumery. Given that this section is listed in the contents pages and prefaced by the publisher's ad leaf for same it seems reasonable to assume this is an unusual variant edition rather than a samelband. Book in good condition. Lacking spine cover. Sympathetically rebound in modern quarter calf with raised bands to spine. Endpapers renewed. Lacking all before p11 and missing pp437 - 440.

Facsimile signature of Glasse on page one. vi, (24), 384, (24)pp. Cagle 702, Vicaire 414. Eighth edition of perhaps the most influential of all English 18th century cookbooks. Though her advances were partly fictitious, and her cookbooks were heavily plagiarized from Eliza Smith and, especially, The Whole Duty of a Woman (1737), she was responsible for the first English curry recipe "To make a currey the Indian way" and an early recipe for raspberry ice cream, one of the earliest in an English cookbook, only predated by one in Bailey's Dictionarium Domesticum (1736). She also advanced the simplicity and economy of English cooking - even if sometimes just to run down French cooking techniques (e.g. her chapter devoted to ridiculing the extravagance of French sauces).

Hardcover. Condition: Poor. Alexandria [Virginia]: Cottom and Stewart, 1812. Published 1812. Rough but complete copy of this hard-to-find work on cooking and food and menu selection, also a scarce pre-Civil War Virginia imprint. Unfortunately this copy does indeed appear to have been through the war, with scorched covers and smoke-darkened outer edges, a few smoke whispers in the margins, but the text complete, readable and barely touched by the smoke darkening. Full calf of the period with gilt spine ruling and old repair to the rear cover, 288, xii pages, endpapers still present but with excess creasing and a few tiny edge chips. Covers are dried and blackened, especially the front cover, with the calf curled back from the underlying composition board which has warped considerably. Text block is somewhat shaken with a few gatherings a little loosened but not detached, contents protruding from the covers at the outer edges, pages generally clean with the aforenoted minor smoke traces in the margins, some darkening to the upper corner of the title page and first page of text, names of Israel Gillett and Susan Morris on front free endpaper along with the name Regent in all caps. Good rebinding candidate but readable as is. Hard Cover. Poor. 12mo - over 6�" - 7�" tall.
