Description
[New England], 1863. Good. 7½” x 6”. Paper over boards. Pp. 70 with 113 handwritten entries, 28 clippings pasted down + 3 laid in. Good: boards and most leaves detached; moderately soiled. This is a plentiful collection of recipes and remedies seemingly compiled by a New Englander in the mid-19th century. With 113 handwritten entries plus a total of 52 sets of instructions from Philadelphia, Albany and Boston newspapers, the book provides rich insight into home life in the mid-1800s. Provided in no apparent order are recipes for “tomato figs,” “cucumber catsup,” “Mrs. G's Famous Bunns” and a “Black cake, much esteemed,” as well as cures for croup, whooping cough, scarlet fever and dysentery. Our compiler collected a column titled “To the butter makers in New England,” tips on the “pickling of meat,” dyes for wool and cotton and how to “destroy rats.” “Beef's gall to the wound” was cited as a cure for lockjaw, and we find guidance on “bottling gooseberries,” planting corn and “how to get rid of caterpillars.” There were several handwritten records of purchases, as well as entries for “Chicken Cholera” (to heal, not to eat), “To restore hair to its natural color,” “Pull Evil In Horses,” make a “hair oil” and a “Transparent pudding.” A fantastic collection of culinary and household tips.

Gentle bumping to the lower extremities of the spine and boards. In the dust jackets, with very subtle surface and edge-wear. Both volumes are internally bright and fresh. From the dust jacket- "This book offers a vitally necessary and radically new vision, one that is rigorously based in the science of the brain, deeply grounded in philosophy and sustained by the most up-to-date findings of physics: a vision that inverts common assumptions about what matters; sees the whole, not just the parts; and helps us break out of the hall of mirrors.
