Where the Bulfinch Encyclopedia really shines is in its item histories. For instance, note the birth of the vinaigrette: "In the late 1600s, in an attempt by men and women of quality to combat the stench of filthy streets and open sewers, vinaigrettes were introduced. These were small containers "in which a small piece of sponge soaked in spiced vinegar was kept behind a pierced cover" Overall, this encyclopedia is an excellent resource for high-end collectors and admirers of the history of European, American, and Asian antiques.--Karen Karleski
