The House-keeper's Pocket Book, and Compleat Family Cook. Containing Several Hundred Curious Receipts in Cookery, Pastry, Preserving, Pickling, Brewing, Baking, Made Wines, &c..., to which is added, Every Man his own Doctor, woodcut head-piece, lacking frontispiece, some browning at edges of title and last leaf, modern calf-backed marbled boards, spine gilt with morocco label [Maclean p.72], 12mo, Printed by Thomas Martin, [1776, or 1783]

Footnotes

A very scarce recipe book based on Hannah Glasse's The Art of Cookery, and not to be confused with the work by Sarah Harrison (despite the spurious caption 'Engraved for Mrs. Harrisons Cookery Book' which accompanied the frontispiece, missing here and in the only other copy offered at auction). The present volume has been printed with rather erratic grammar and signature markings, and has 168 pages. The publication date is unclear from the slightly confusing entries but Maclean cites four copies of the two Martin editions, none of which now seem traceable in book form.
