Descrizione

8vo., First Edition, with a frontispiece, free endpapers very lightly spotted; brown cloth, gilt back, a near fine copy in unclipped dustwrapper, the latter very lightly dust-soiled at backstrip. This valuable work transcribes sections of Cook's 'Professed Cookery' (3ed; 1760) which includes the author's 'Plan of House-Keeping'. The 'Plan' is presented as an autobiographical account of her life in service at Hexham and Morpeth, together with the life of her friend 'Abigail'. The work as a whole provides a well-nigh unique account of country life in the eighteenth century; this edition (the sole modern version) includes a lengthy introduction by Burnet. Scarce, especially in this condition. See Axford, p.13; Bitting, p.69; Maclean, p.35; Oxford, p.91; Pargellis & Medley 1801.
