Footnotes

Books on domestic economy including the first edition of Eliza Acton's Modern Cookery and three rare works or editions not traced in any culinary bibliography. Particularly perplexing is Mary Rundal's Domestic Cookery Book, as neither the title nor its author appear to be recorded anywhere. Library Hub does record one copy an edition of Gordon's New Domestic Cookery (Dublin, 1849), and two editions of The New London Cookery (Joseph Smith, 1835 and c.1840). Although these editions give "A Lady" as the author rather than "S.W"., the one dated 1835 matches the collation of our work, so we can presume they are one and the same, although earlier editions have also been attributed to Esther Copley.
