	ACTON, MISS ELIZA; REVISED BY MRS. S.J. HALE Modern Cookery in All Its Branches (Revised by Mrs S.J. Hale) Philadelphia PA, John E. Potter and Company. 1864, Later Printing. Hard Cover, 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. (USA) 18 x 12.5 cm, rebound in black cloth with gold psine titles, new endpapers, xxxvi, 37-418pp, index, i-xiii pp ads. A few B&W diagrams showing cuts of beef, cake moulds, and the like. This book first appeared in Britain 1845 and is one of the most practical, orderly and concise of cookery books. Elizabeth David says that Acton " was the first English writer to go into the minutest detail in her recipes and who first used the concise and uniform system of setting them out which was later adapted by Mrs Beeton." Beeton borrowed this admirable system of setting out the ingredients, the quantities, and the timing of the recipes in a uniform and concise manner. This book, according to David, is the first English cookery book in which such instructions were given: "It was the singleness of purpose animating Eliza Acton, her methodical mind and meticulous honesty which made her cookery book then, and makes it even still, far and away the most admired and copied in the English language." The recipes are still excellent. Esther Aresty, in her book THE DELECTABLE PAST, has presented a few of Acton's more whimsically-named recipes (Veal Goose, the King of Oude's Omlet), but it is in the recipes for jellies, jams, marmalades that this book is unsurpassed. This American edition first appeared in 1860 and has been edited by Mrs Hale; her comments are usually in footnotes, so that we find tidbits such as the following note on "Anchovies"in a recipe for Common Lobster sauce: "Anchovies, from which this essence is made, are small sea-fish, not known in America. The flavoring must therefore be dispensed with (in this recipe)". This copy is clean, no markings, and tight without cracking or faults to the hinges. As noted it has been professionally rebound in black cloth and furnished with new endpapers, (I believe this was done in 1975). The pages have been slightly trimed, with a bit of foxing here and there with a very faint stain to the foreedge of the last few leaves. There is no musty smell and the pages are not brittle. VG overall;no Dj. A nice copy of an exceptional cookbook. (2.0 FO 39/3. Very Good.

	NO STATED AUTHOR New Process Catalogue & Cook Book [Cleveland OH], The Standard Lighting Company. 1894, Edition Not Stated. Hard Cover, 8vo - over 7Â¾" - 9Â¾" tall.

The date is taken from page xvi of the catalogue (January 1st, 1894) where the New Process gas ranges are featured. There does not seem to be a typical title page, but the front pagination seems to match the existing pages. The first page is blank and the copyright statement on the verso indicates 1894. This is a very good reference for the type of stoves offered to the public in the decade before the 20th century. There is a line of Evaporating Vapor Stoves which consumes gasoline: the fuild drips, drop by drop, upon a brass evaporator (which is visible), mixes with and carburets (sic) a current of air, descends to the burner, where it lights like gas. The ovens were lined with asbestos. The four burner gas stove cost $35.00 and weighed 220 pounds. The stoves and hardware are illustrated in the catalogue. The remaining 90 % of the book is devoted to a collection of some 800 recipes, written in the old way without the ingredients presented first. The recipes assume quite a bit of cooking knowledge; the recipe for Angel Food [Cake] calles for the whites of 11 eggs, but the recipes is only 7 lines long. All the blank pages have recipes taken from "Detroit book" written in a neat penciled hand. As well there are three small sheets of recipes fastened with a pin, and laid-in. The book is sound and tight with new endpapers, the covers are soiled and rubbed at the edges and corner tips. (1.9 lbs FO 40/4). Good (-).

	ACTON, MISS ELIZA; REVISED BY MRS. S.J. HALE Modern Cookery in All Its Branches (Revised by Mrs S.J. Hale) Philadelphia PA, John E. Potter and Company. 1864, Later Printing. Hard Cover, 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. (USA) 18 x 12.5 cm, rebound in black cloth with gold psine titles, new endpapers, xxxvi, 37-418pp, index, i-xiii pp ads. A few B&W diagrams showing cuts of beef, cake moulds, and the like. This book first appeared in Britain 1845 and is one of the most practical, orderly and concise of cookery books. Elizabeth David says that Acton " was the first English writer to go into the minutest detail in her recipes and who first used the concise and uniform system of setting them out which was later adapted by Mrs Beeton." Beeton borrowed this admirable system of setting out the ingredients, the quantities, and the timing of the recipes in a uniform and concise manner. This book, according to David, is the first English cookery book in which such instructions were given: "It was the singleness of purpose animating Eliza Acton, her methodical mind and meticulous honesty which made her cookery book then, and makes it even still, far and away the most admired and copied in the English language." The recipes are still excellent. Esther Aresty, in her book THE DELECTABLE PAST, has presented a few of Acton's more whimsically-named recipes (Veal Goose, the King of Oude's Omlet), but it is in the recipes for jellies, jams, marmalades that this book is unsurpassed. This American edition first appeared in 1860 and has been edited by Mrs Hale; her comments are usually in footnotes, so that we find tidbits such as the following note on "Anchovies"in a recipe for Common Lobster sauce: "Anchovies, from which this essence is made, are small sea-fish, not known in America. The flavoring must therefore be dispensed with (in this recipe)". This copy is clean, no markings, and tight without cracking or faults to the hinges. As noted it has been professionally rebound in black cloth and furnished with new endpapers, (I believe this was done in 1975). The pages have been slightly trimed, with a bit of foxing here and there with a very faint stain to the foreedge of the last few leaves. There is no musty smell and the pages are not brittle. VG overall;no Dj. A nice copy of an exceptional cookbook. (2.0 FO 39/3. Very Good.

	NO STATED AUTHOR New Process Catalogue & Cook Book [Cleveland OH], The Standard Lighting Company. 1894, Edition Not Stated. Hard Cover, 8vo - over 7Â¾" - 9Â¾" tall. (USA) 8 1/2 x 6", light grey cloth with blue titles, [3], 4-5, [1] blank, [i], ii-xx a catalogue of stoves and hardware from the Standard Lighting Company, [1], 8-249, [1 illus], [xii] blank pages for notes.

The date is taken from page xvi of the catalogue (January 1st, 1894) where the New Process gas ranges are featured. There does not seem to be a typical title page, but the front pagination seems to match the existing pages. The first page is blank and the copyright statement on the verso indicates 1894. This is a very good reference for the type of stoves offered to the public in the decade before the 20th century. There is a line of Evaporating Vapor Stoves which consumes gasoline: the fuild drips, drop by drop, upon a brass evaporator (which is visible), mixes with and carburets (sic) a current of air, descends to the burner, where it lights like gas. The ovens were lined with asbestos. The four burner gas stove cost $35.00 and weighed 220 pounds. The stoves and hardware are illustrated in the catalogue. The remaining 90 % of the book is devoted to a collection of some 800 recipes, written in the old way without the ingredients presented first. The recipes assume quite a bit of cooking knowledge; the recipe for Angel Food [Cake] calles for the whites of 11 eggs, but the recipes is only 7 lines long. All the blank pages have recipes taken from "Detroit book" written in a neat penciled hand. As well there are three small sheets of recipes fastened with a pin, and laid-in. The book is sound and tight with new endpapers, the covers are soiled and rubbed at the edges and corner tips. (1.9 lbs FO 40/4). Good (-).
