BEETON Mrs. [Isabella]

Mrs. Beeton's All About Cookery. New Edition. BRIGHT, CLEAN COPY

Ward Lock,, 1907. 8vo., with coloured frontispiece, 11 coloured plates and 48 plates in monochrome, frontispiece remargined at foot, title lightly spotted, some occasional mild spotting to text; original decorative brown cloth blocked in gilt and black, gilt back, covers mildly age-marked, two corners mildly bruised, very neatly rebacked with old backstrip laid down, a very good, firm copy. With advertisement front endpapers in sepia and 10pp of similar advertisements at end. 'All About Cookery' (first issued under this title in 1871) is a derivative of Isabella Beeton's final work 'The Dictionary of Cookery'. The 'Dictionary' was first published in 1865 and designed to full the gap between her classic (but highly-priced) 'Book of Household Management' and the cheaper 'Cookery'. A key feature of the work is the arrangement of its subject matter - recipes, menus, implements and so on - in alphabetical order for easy reference. It is her only work so presented and to our belief the first compilation of its kind. The Edwardian editions are particularly comprehensive in their scope and coverage. See Driver, p.101 and our own bibliography (in progress). Cagle 563 cites the 1903 edition with fewer plates.

BEETON Mrs. Isabella

Mrs. Beeton's Every-Day Cookery. New Edition. With Coloured Plates and other Illustrations. [Third Edition thus]. BRIGHT, CLEAN COPY

Ward Lock & Co.,, 1912. 8vo., Third Edition thus, with coloured frontispiece, 18 coloured plates (one double-page) and 67 full-page monochrome photographs and illustrations in the text, some very light and inoffensive spotting (mainly marginal); original decorative green cloth elaborately blocked in gilt and black, backstrip blocked in gilt and black, expertly recased, covers a little age-soiled else a very good, bright, clean copy. Complete with front and rear advertisement endpapers, and 10pp advertisements following index. Many of the advertisements are illustrated. Isabella Beeton's final work, the 'Dictionary of Every-Day Cookery' was first published in 1865 and is second in importance only to 'Household Management'. Following her death in the same year, her husband's publishing house of S.O. Beeton was acquired by Ward Lock & Tyler [subsequently Ward Lock] who naturally set about reissuing all the 'Beeton' cookery titles. The 'Dictionary' was retitled initially the 'Every-Day Cookery and Housekeeping Book' and from 1907 'Mrs. Beeton's Every-Day Cookery'. The present work is, we believe, the third edition with this latter title and the last before Hermann Senn's major revision of 1923. 'Mrs. Beeton's Every-Day Cookery, as it now stands, contains one-third, or 200 pages, more than the previous edition, and is offered at the same price' [Preface]. Although greatly expanded, it is effectively the last edition based on the core text as Isabella herself compiled it. See Driver, p.102 and our own bibliography (in progress).
