Full title - AN ENCYCLOPAEDIA OF DOMESTIC ECONOMY: COMPRISING SUBJECTS CONNECTED WITH THE INTERESTS OF EVERY INDIVIDUAL; SUCH AS THE CONSTRUCTION OF DOMESTIC EDIFICES; FURNITURE; CARRIAGES, AND INSTRUMENTS OF DOMESTIC USE. ALSO, ANIMAL AND VEGETABLE SUBSTANCES USED AS FOOD, AND THE METHODS OF PRESERVING AND PREPARING THEM BY COOKING; RECEIPTS, ETC MATERIALS EMPLOYED IN DRESS AND THE TOILET; BUSINESS OF THE LAUNDRY; PRESERVATION OF HEALTH; DOMESTIC MEDICINES, &C., &C. BY T. WEBSTER AND MRS. PARKES. EDITED BY D.M. REESE, A.M., M.D. ILLUSTRATED WITH NEARLY ONE THOUSAND ENGRAVINGS. Collates as [front pastedown], [title/copyright leaf], ix-xxiv, [25], 26-1238, [rear flyleaf], [rear free endpaper], [rear pastedown]. Hardcover: H 23.25cm x L 15cm. Original leather spine chipped and worn with surface losses; inelegant but effective (probably early 20th century) repair of black cloth boards and strips of off-white cloth glued down lengthwise along both front and rear joints overlapping boards and spine and obscuring large portion of spine's black title label and its gilt lettering; boards well rubbed with worn corners. All edges marbled but with fading and spots of surface abrasion. Strips of off-white cloth glued lengthwise along both hinges; a few stress points to text block but otherwise binding is firm. First leaf present is title/copyright so missing a ffep and perhaps a flyleaf or two; Roman pagination immediately jumps to pages ix-x for "Preface by the American Editor" but with no interlaying stubs indicative of missing leaves (for pages iii-viii); Preface on pages xi-xiv; Contents on pages xv-xxiv. Innumerable late 19th and early 20th century newspaper clippings as well as several handwritten notes sometimes laid-in but mostly tipped-in (the latter often affixed at margins but a few adhered over text) causing some associated toning to leaves - the most interesting items being: {#1} handwritten recipe for corn beer on small paper slip tipped-in at page 600; {#2} short sheet tipped-in at page 797 with handwritten recipes for Tomato Catsup on recto and Tomato Pickles on verso; {#3 and #4} tipped-in between pages 912-913 are two undated but circa 1870s imprints of "Charles Winkley, Printer, Jackson, Miss." being a toned blank contract for "right to make and use Maxwell's Patent . . . and J.W. Davenport's Balm Preserving Process" plus four page brochure "U.S. Patent. Directions for Preserving Fruits, Vegetables, and Meats" by J.W. Davenport, M.D. Varied foxing throughout. Pencil notes found on pages 1225 and throughout Index (pages 1227-1238) plus faded antiquarian ink writing at top margin of page 1229; possibly some handwritten notes on text pages but none readily apparent upon a quick perusal. AN ENCYCLOPAEDIA OF DOMESTIC ECONOMY was first published in London in 1844 with subsequent British editions in 1847, 1852, and 1861; evidently the book was more popular in the United States as American editions were issued in 1845, 1847, 1848, 1849, and this 1855. Please note that this thick book has an approximate shipping weight of 4 pounds (1.81 kg) and will require additional postage for any postal class other than domestic Media Mail.…

Illustrated with nearly 1000 woodcuts. In its original binding of blind embossed buckram-type cloth, with gilt titles on spine. 8vo. Boards generally a little worn, lightly rubbed at edges, bruised and rounded on corners and spine ends, a few mild marks. Endpapers soiled and strained in gutters, some darkening to softened and rounded text block edges, with a hint of marginal tanning internally. The front free endpaper bears a previous owner's name, and the stamp (twice) of Nathanial Buckley, the 19th century mill owner, millionaire and Member of Parliament for Stalybridge, heavily criticised for his treatment of his workers and tenants in Ireland. Casing now protected in a loose fitting, stiff Perspex sleeve. Thomas Webster (1772-1844), a Scottish architect and geologist by training (the Royal Institution on Albemarle Street being built from his designs) was one of the first paid scientific professors, being Professor of Geology at University College, London. He spent the last ten years of his life on a commission from publishers Longman, Brown, Green and Longmans compiling his enormous dictionary of domestic economy, with the assistance of one Mrs William Parkes, which was published in the year of his death. It is now widely accepted that Mrs Isabella Beeton's Book of Household Management (1859) leaned heavily on the work of others - her main source was Webster's Encyclopaedia, particularly on the arrangement of the kitchen and general observations, making Webster's work one of the most influential works on household management of the 19th century.…
