About This Item
London: G. Routledge & Co, 1859. Small octavo (17 x 11 cm.), viii, 375 pages. Index. Second printing of this collection, drawn in great part from the editor's earlier work, Domestic Economy (1857), which had been compiled from the home recipe collections of the contributors. Internally near fine, in very good gilt- stamped green cloth boards, with one-half red calf spine, titled and decorated in gilt, and with five raised bands. The spine has been professionally and attractively rebacked, and a fragment of the original spine pasted-in to the rear paste down. Quite attractive overall.
