Description
Somerville; Boston: The Church; Printed by F. J. Barnard], 1879. Octavo (23.75 x 15 cm.), [54] pages. Advertisements (some illustrated). Title from cover. Author from prefatory note "With Our Readers" on page [3]. Printer from advertisement on page [54]. Alternate title within prefatory note: Peoples' Receipt Book and Business Directory. Evident FIRST EDITION. A charitable cookbook that foregrounds local business advertisements (rather than recipes) as a "directory" – a misleading usage, however, as there is no alphabetical or thematic arrangement. In addition, a fair-related fundraiser, the "benevolent purpose" for which is made obligingly clear: "The ladies of the First M. E. Church, in Somerville, propose to hold a Grand Church Bazaar, in the church, corner of Bow and Summer Streets, October 27-31, and this book is to assist their enterprise in several ways" (page [3]). With approximately two hundred unattributed recipes and household hints, including: Rye Muffins, Graham Puffs, Green Corn Soup, Fried Halibut, Stewed Lobster, Mutton Pie, Roast Turkey, Beet Salad, Cabbage Salad, Stuffed Potatoes, Baked Squash, Boiled Turnips, Corn Fritters, Cocoanut Pudding, Citron Pudding, Roly-Poly Pudding, Ribbon Cake, Charlotte Russe Pie, Lemon Pie (seven versions), Apple Trifle. A specific statement appears to underlie a recipe for Muffins Without Saleratus: neither a yeast-leavened bakery (or "English") muffin nor a chemically leavened quick-bread muffin. Oddly, cleaning and other recommendations – Liquid Glue, Ant Trap, Arresting Fermentation, Removing Freckles – are interspersed among the culinary recipes. ~ Somerville was known to European (chiefly British) settlers primarily as a concatenation of small farms and grazing commons until the middle of the nineteenth century. Congregationalists, Baptists, and Methodists established congregations shortly after the coalescence of a town in 1842. The original First Methodist Episcopal Church stood on Western Avenue by 1859 (its cornerstone laid in October of the year before: "News and Miscellaneous," New England Farmer [Boston] 13, no. 41 [9 October 1858], page 2). But a second house of worship was in service by 1876, located near Union Square ("A Splendid Entertainment," The Boston Globe 10, no. 105 [1 November 1876], page 8). Sometimes called the Union Square Methodist Church, it is this building, a fortress-like brick edifice at the "corner of Bow and Summer Streets," that was supported by the ladies who organized the Peoples' Receipt Book and Church Directory. ~ The eventual chronicler of First Methodist's rise and fall will have documents to work with, now housed in the archives of Boston University's School of Theology Library. The congregation joined the 1968 merger of Evangelical Brethren and the Methodist Church, and adopted the name First United Methodist Church of Somerville, but dwindled in number over the next decade. The building was placed on the market at the end of the 1970s and the property transferred to a commercial developer. In the 1990s the deconsecrated church was converted to condominium apartments. ~ Some age-toning and edge-wear; bright otherwise. Good, in publisher's stamped green cloth, lettered in gilt; lightly scuffed at the top and bottom of the spine. Unrecorded.  [OCLC locates no copies; not in Bitting, Cook, Brown, or Cagle].
