pp xxii - 376 [14] inc index and publisher's catalogue - Undated, but apparently c 1864, this was the Mrs Beeton's (ie the best-selling domestic manual) of its day with dozens of editions being published. It was considered an ideal gift for newly-married brides, according to The Guardian's "Help!" column. It was originally published in 1807 by the firm of John Murray.
It includes an engraved frontis (hunter carrying stag over shoulder and basket of fowl and woman carrying basket of fruit and vegetables on her head) and an engraved picture (woman carrying tray of fish) to title page. There are also nine plates of engravings of cuts of meat (joints) including venison, beef, veal, mutton and pork. There are two title pages. The first says, "Domestic Cookery for the use of Private Families". The second says, "A New System of Domestic Cookery: Formed Upon Principles of Economy and Adapted for the Use of Private Families. By a Lady. With the Addition of Many New Receipts. A New Edition".
Covers (original publisher's red cloth, with matching blind-stamped rules to the front and rear and gilt titles and black design to spine) is soiled, edgeworn, with bumped corners and a 2-inch closed tear at the rear bottom hinge. The text block is clean (other than foxing and spotting throughout, some dog-eared pages and soiled page edges) but has several detached (but tipped in) pages including: Frontis and title pages; 169-170.
