William Kitchiner (1778-1827), epicure and writer, whose "inheritance permitted him to enjoy, and to write extensively on, those three arts which most pleased him: music, gastronomy, and optics . The most famous of Kitchiner's numerous cookery books, 'The Cook's Oracle', first appeared in 1817 and went through many editions, even after his death. It was written in a down-to-earth style, and demonstrated Kitchiner's familiarity with the entire process, from shopping, through preparing and serving the dishes, to cleaning up. It was an acknowledged source of inspiration for Mrs Beeton, and was mined by the writers of other household guides" (ODNB).

8vo, pp. [viii], 160; lightly browned but otherwise a very good, fresh copy in contemporary calf, brown morocco label (neat repairs to the head and tail of the spine). First authorised edition, preceded by a pirated folio edition, with a spurious attribution to Swift, and without the accompanying apparatus of satirical letters. This burlesque poem, the work for which King is now chiefly remembered, was occasioned by Martin Lister's edition of Apicius's De Arte Coquinaria, published in 1705 in an edition of 120 copies for members of the Royal Society. King's poem offers a mixture of practical advice ('T'omit what's just in season, is a crime, Your infant pease t'asparagus prefer') and satirical recipes for incongruous dishes, such as mackerel dressed with gooseberries. The facetious letters to Lister and others, at the beginning and end of the volume, give the whole a Scriblerian air, and are thought to have provided Pope with suggestions for his Dunciad. Provenance: early armorial bookplate of the Earl of Wigtoune, a Jacobite peer. Foxon K57; Cagle, A Matter of Taste, 794; Maclean, p. 84.
