Octavo, 227, [xiii] pages (including multiple pages of local advertisements both fore and aft, publisher's cloth. Inked inscription to Aunt Lucy in 1881. Quite Scarce. " Contains many fine old-time recipes, in which the ingredients are not stinted." - Bitting p. 592. Includes a recipe for fairy sauce. Each contribution is identified by its contributor. With blank, lined sheets interspersed upon which are additional, hand-written recipes: including Rocky Mountain Cake, Soft Ginger Bread, Alum Yeast, Sweet Tomato Pickle, Mrs. Blair's Charlotte Russe. The miscellaneous recipes include advice " To Clean Canary Birds " - of lice. And a chapter on " Bills of Fare ". 2"We are not sure but something of a wholesome dread of dyspepsia, too, has been in the minds of the ladies who here present their contributions to culinary literature. At all events, they have thoughtfully added a chapter upon "Cookery for the Sick-Room." With consideration, too, is an inserted yellow leaf of Errata, noting that recipes marked with a 'star' are incorrect, and the corrections supplied on this easy-to-spot yellow leaf. Note: one or more of the contributors was from as far away as California.
