[GLASSE,  Hannah]. THE ART OF COOKERY, MADE PLAIN AND EASY; WHICH  FAR
EXCEEDS  ANY  THING OF THE KIND YET PUBLISHED ... BY A  LADY.  London:
Millar,  Tonson,  et.  al. 1760. 7th Edition. In somewhat  later  half
calf  with  calf  corners and marbled boards; [ii], vi,  [xxiv],  384,
[24]=index   pages.  First  published  in   1747,  Glasse's  book  was
reprinted  many times and was perhaps the most popular cookbook of its
day.  This early edition is complete but for missing blanks and is  in
very  nice  shape.  Contents clean, some rubbing to  spine  edges  but
binding still quite attractive. Very Good or better.           $950.00
