Second Edition. Original green cloth, small octavo, 62 pages plus two page ad, color frontis. "The principal object of these pages is to furnish a collection of recipes for the brewing of compound drinks, technically called Cups, all of which have been selected with the most scrupulous attention to the rules of gastronomy and their virtues tested and approved by repeated trials. These we are inclined to put into type from a belief that if they were more generally adopted it would be the means of getting rid of a great deal of that stereotyped drinking which at present holds sway at the festive boards of England. In doing this we have endeavored to simplify the matter as much as possible adding such hints and remarks as may prove serviceable to the uninitiated whilst we have discarded a goodly number of modern compounds as unpalatable and unscientific." Very Good, dampstaining along fore-edges of covers, some cloth abraded away at rear fore-edge, some nicking at fore-edge of front endpaper and frontispiece. Item #27936
