Scatcherd and Whitaker, 1782FootnotesAN UNRECORDED EDITION OF AN EIGHTEENTH CENTURY COOKERY BOOK, EXTENSIVELY ANNOTATED AND ADDED TO IN AN EARLY NINETEENTH CENTURY HAND.
ESTC records three editions, all published by J. Osborn, between 1741 and 1747. Our copy has a title-page printed by Scatcherd and Whitaker, but retains Osborn's advertisement at the end. It collates [2], iii-xiv, [6, "Of the Use... of Tar-Water..."], 126, [4], 305, [7]. The extensive annotations indicate active engagement with the text by an early nineteenth century reader, and knowledge of other domestic manuals etc., with the inclusion of many additional recipes for cookery, medical and household purposes. A date of 1815 is given to a note about a patent taken out by James Bramah for "Parker's Cement", and 1810 in a cross-reference to an edition of "Family Receipts". The initials "J.B." are entered under a note that "Mrs Carpenter (wife of Charles Carpenter, Surgeon), assured that tying a piece of new cat-gut round the wrist would prevent the Piles".
