About this Item

139 pages. 18 x 13 cm. From Thomas Gray, an English poet, letter-writter, and classical scholar - this new edition has been out of print for two hundred years. Its appeal to the revelation of ancient culinary mysteries while adding the attraction of the fact that the British Museum copy is the one owned and copiously annotated by the author. Lightly foxed in the first couple of pages. Dust wrapper lightly soiled and rubbed at edges. Orange cloth covered boards with gilt illustration. Very good, in good dust wrapper.
