316 pages. A collection of 19th-century American domestic recipes. Often conflated with the First Lady's historical manuscript, this specific 1892 book is a practical Victorian-era guide rather than her original 18th-century Elizabethan family collection. Recipes include yeasted breads, cakes, cosmetiques (how to clear tanned skin), beverages - inlcuding wines, punches, and cordials, invalid cookery, meat & fish dishes, remedies, household advice, preserves, sauces, and much more. Interior and wraps toned. Wraps chipped with loss at corners. Tape residue on front and back cover. Previous owner's signature on cover. Illustrated throughout. [BROWN 721].
