BEETON, Mrs. Isabella The Book of Household Management.… London, Ward, Lock & Co., 1880
Small thick octavo, many illustrations and colour plates, in original green cloth. Some spotting and repair to top of spine.
The 19th century domestic classic. This edition has the six-page appendix for recipes using Australian Meats. Exports of preserved meat from Australia were, by this time, making significant inroads into the English market and the editors of Mrs. Beeton's famous cookbook, anxious that it be done justice, issued this edition with fifteen recipes which ensured correct handling.
