About This Item
London, New York [et al.]: Henry Frowde, Oxford University Press, 1913. First edition, small 8vo, pp. [6], 192; a very good copy in original blue cloth lettered in gilt on front cover and spine, light to moderate wear to extremities and front and back lower corners slightly bumped. While admitting that his real interest is "in the combination of cookery with medicine" (Prefatory Note), Oxford offers an extremely useful chronological listing of cookery books from 1700 to 1850. Of this work and Oxford's earlier Notes From A Collector's Catalogue, With A Bibliography of English Cookery Books (London, 1909), Bitting writes that they "are the most detailed and exhaustive treating of English cookery books" (Bitting, p. 352).
