London, Oddy and Co. c1810 . First edition. Leather. The very scarce first edition of this impressive 'universal repository', offering recipes and remedies from around the globe. A very scarce first edition.Many of the recipes in this impressive work are of international origins, including discussion of Turkish coffee, soy sauce, and curry powder, and with discussion of other diverse elements of 'domestic oeconomy', including gilding, varnishing, fowling, brewing and perfumery.Including remedies for 'bile indigestion and giddiness', 'gout and rheumatism', and a 'salve for a green wound, a burn or a scald&apos.Undated; dated circa 1810 from institutional records.Rebacked, with endpapers renewed.With a twenty page index to the rear.From the library of Jill Norman, an editor and food writer. Norman began working at Penguin in the early 1960s and, as the only woman, the care of the company's cookery books fell to her. It was her responsibility to expand the cookery titles Penguin produced, and thus began to publish works by Jane Grigson, Claudia Roden, and Alan Davidson. In particular Norman worked closely with the famed cookery writer Elizabeth David, with whom she was good friends. Rebacked, in a full calf binding, with original boards laid down. Loss of calf to fore edge of front board. Joint heads starting, with boards firmly held. Endpapers renewed. Internally, firmly bound. Minor closed tear to title page tail, with light spotting to title page perimeters. Pages a touch age toned to perimeters, with only the odd spot, and the odd marginal pencil notations. Leaves 6K1 and 6K2 trimmed to the head, not affecting text. Very Good . Ill.: None. Very Good .
