About this Item

A New Edition. 12mo. xix, 490 pp. In a recent half-calf with period marbled-paper sidings and morocco letter-piece gilt. If you were unsure of how to keep accounts, sleep, eat, see, sing or just perhaps needed a guide to The Art of Invigorating and Prolonging Life the indefatigable Dr. Kitchiner could provide the answer. Here he treats of cookery in his exhaustive and chatty style. A few pages bear evidence of being close to the action but in general this is a very good copy of the kitchen classic.
