This is the fourth of six parts of a facsimile reprint of a
compendium of cookery, gardening, animal husbandry and general
household medicine which was published in two volumes in about
1760, having first been offered to the public in 41 weekly parts in
1756. The author claimed "upwards of Thirty Years Experience" as
housekeeper or cook, possibly in the service of a Lady Hewit, whose
manuscript receipt book - cookery and medicinal - is copied into
the published work. The work is arranged as a calendar discussing
marketing, cooking, preserving, brewing, medicines for men and
animals, and tending the orchard, the herb and vegetable garden and
the pleasure garden, month by month. Among its features are
descriptions of foods bought - spices, sugar, anchovies, olives,
soy sauce - as well as foods grown or cooked. Other hints about
marketing - buying fish, for instance - are more detailed than in
many other manuals of the period, and there are lists of specific
varieties of fruits as they are ready for the table.
