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.
This is the first full-scale study of the world of
eighteenth-century British cookery books, their authors, their
readers and their recipes. For many decades, we have treated them
as collectables - often fetching thousands at auction and in
rare-book catalogues - or as quaint survivors, while ignoring their
true history or what they have to tell us about the Georgians.

The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly
growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by
advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve
the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own:
digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works
in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these
high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts
are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries,
undergraduate students, and independent scholars.The
eighteenth-century fascination with Greek and Roman antiquity
followed the systematic excavation of the ruins at Pompeii and
Herculaneum in southern Italy; and after 1750 a neoclassical style
dominated all artistic fields. The titles here trace developments
in mostly English-language works on painting, sculpture,
architecture, music, theater, and other disciplines. Instructional
works on musical instruments, catalogs of art objects, comic
operas, and more are also included. ++++The below data was compiled

COVID-19 and the Classroom: How Schools Navigated the Great
Disruption presents social science research that explores how
schools navigated the disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic
from March 2020 through the 2020-21 school year. This book also
serves as a history book, documenting what this period was like for
those involved in the enterprise of educating children. The book is
divided into three sections, allowing for an in-depth exploration
of the pandemic's impact. The first section examines how teachers,
parents, and school leaders experienced the pandemic, including
what this looked like when schools first closed for in-person
instruction. Part two explores how schools reopened, both in the
United States and abroad, and discusses the trade-offs associated
with these decisions. This section also explored how private
schools fared and the rise of "pandemic pods". The book concludes
with a look at how a range of teacher preparation programs
continued their work in uncertain times. This volume represents one
of the first to share scholarship on how schools negotiated the
COVID-19 crisis.
An Architectural Travel Guide to Utah invites visitors and other
explorers of Utah to see the state's history, material culture,
settlement, and natural landscape through the lens of its
buildings. With more than 600 buildings as examples, this guide
takes readers through Utah's cities and rural villages, exploring
neighborhoods and other built landscapes. An adobe house from the
1860s speaks volumes about the transmission of ideas,
respectability, the places of origin of Utah's white settlers, and
their use of place-specific materials. The Utah State Capitol
reflects the Neoclassicism preferred for statehouses throughout the
nation, but its site overlooking a canyon to the east, the Great
Salt Lake to the northwest, and the long view south down State
Street - one of the longest streets in America - set it apart and
make it very much of its place. From the most common vernacular
cabin to the modern architecture of Abravanel Symphony Hall and the
Salt Lake Arts Center, this guide uses the diversity of Utah's
architecture to showcase the diversity of its people, their visions
for the good life, and the particular responses of their built
environment to the unique geography of this beautiful state.
'Romney's unique vantage point is the strongest draw of this
narrative: Romney and his family lived much of their life in the
Mexican Mormon colonies. But the narrative's value is much broader
and deeper than just that. Romney's insights into Mexican politics
and personalities, and his view of the course of history from
inside rather than from outside, are fascinating, colorful and
opinionated. He was clear about who he admired and why, and who he
did not.' - from the Foreword In the 1880s, as a precondition to
granting Utah statehood, the United States government enacted laws
to put a stop to the Mormon practice of polygamy. Those who
continued to practice this principle were forced underground as
federal marshals roamed the territory searching for 'polygs.' In
response, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints looked
for safe places to send its members; many found refuge across the
border in Mexico. Unavailable since its original publication in
1938, this important document of a little-known chapter in Mormon
history is now reprinted with a foreword by Martha Sonntag Bradley.
Romney was raised and spent much of his life in the colonies,
making this book a significant contribution to LDS history. It
chronicles a new kind of Mormon pioneer facing the hardships of an
unfamiliar land, a tenuous relationship with the government, and
the necessary fortitude to hold fast to one's belief in the face of
difficulty and trial.
