Description:
London: J. Scatcherd and J. Whitaker, 1792. Octavo, 467, [5] pages. Illustrated, with twelve engravings of bills of fare, one for each month. Apparently lacking the frontispiece portrait of the author which is recorded for some copies of this printing but not all. Seventh Edition. An extremely popular late-eighteenth century cookbook, with recipes considered to be straightforward and useful, with interesting sections, including: Pickling, Collaring, Potting, Preparation of Hams, Bacon, &c., Elegant Ornaments for a Grand Entertainment, Made Wines, Cordial Waters, Malt Liquors, Culinary Poisons, and Necessary Articles for Sea Faring Persons. Despite its popularity, the book was ghost written by "the printer and hack Richard Johnson" (Lehmann, The British Housewife, page 79). "Farley's claim to fame has rested solely on his cookery book, although this is now known to be the work of a hack writer, Richard Johnson. Ninety per cent of The London Art of Cookery was compiled from the two culinary…

Description:
Boston: Little, Brown, 1944. Thick octavo (19 x 12 cm.), viii,[3] 824 pages. Illustrated; index. Stated "Seventh edition, completely revised by Wilma Lord Perkins". Originally published in 1896, this landmark work had sold 2,216,000 copies as of this wartime, 1944 printing. In the preface to the original edition (reprinted here) Farmer states: "It is my wish that it may not only be looked upon as a compilation of tried and tested recipes, but that it may awaken an interest through its condensed scientific knowledge which will lead to deeper thought and broader study of what to eat." With some stains internally, and text block a bit shaken. In bright and clean publisher's light ochre cloth, ruled and lettered in brown; tan dust jacket, printed in red and blue, is price-clipped, and with some edgewear. With handwritten recipes, "noodle cheese loaf, bread pudding, eggless cookies, pineapple cookies, sour milk cake, brownies (without sugar)", and some clippings taped-in.

After her studies at the Boston Cooking School she took summer courses at the Harvard Medical School, where she later would lecture. The school she founded under her own name, Miss Farmer's School of Cookery, developed special equipment for the invalid or convalescent. ExLibris the Frederick C. Adams Publick Libary (discard stamp present), with the library's bookplate and loan records to the rear endpapers, and small paper shelf label on spine; no other marks.

Description:
Boston: Elmer Chickering, 1893. Albumen print photograph, (19 x 24 cm. plus margins). Photographer's imprint and manuscript inscriptions on verso, identifying the women pictured and their hometowns. This rare photo, taken by Boston photographer Elmer Chickering, shows Fannie Merritt Farmer (1857-1915) seated at front left surrounded by the students. Most are holding cooking utensils while one holds a cookbook and another kneads dough. Farmer graduated Mrs. Lincoln's Boston Cooking School in 1889 and was asked to remain as assistant to the director in 1890. She became the school's director in 1891, resigning in 1902 to open her own school, Miss Farmer's School of Cookery. We have not determined if this photo was taken during Farmer's final years at the Boston Cooking School or soon after she had established her own school. All eleven women in the photo are identified on the verso, along with their hometowns. They include: Ida A. Maynard (author of "High Altitude Cooking"), Marion L. Campbell (founder…
