Description
London: printed for A. Bettesworth and C. Hitch, at the Red-Lyon in Pater-Noster-Row, 1736. Hardcover. Good. Full calf binding with gilt lettering to spine, probably bound in the 19th century, 6-3/8" x 4", 200 pp. plus index and three pages of publisher's catalog. Wear to head and tail of spine, wear to corners, hinges reinforced with cloth, spine darkened, pages clean. Good to very good repaired condition. One of the most important fishing books of the 18th century, this also contains twelve pages of fish recipes. Because the book was marketed to the gentleman angler, these are not riverside recipes, but ones for the gentleman's cook to prepare when he returns home triumphant with his catch. Some great houses, though, had fishing pavilions by the lake, which were equipped with their own kitchens. (Mark Girouard. Life in the English Country House. 210.)
