Description: London: Printed for A. Millar, J. and R. Tonsons. W. Strahan, T. Caslon, T. Rukham, and W. Nicoll. 1765, 8vo, 202 x 120 mms., pp. [ii], vi, [xxiv], 384 [385 - 408 Index], contemporary calf, spine and joints very neatly restored, a very good copy with the contemporary autograph "Sarah Browne" on the top margin of the recto of the front free end-paper, and with the author's autograph on page [1]. With the price in square brackets below the imprint: [ Price bound Five Shillings ]. Glasse (c. 1708 - 1770), the "illegitimate" daughter of Isaac Allgood [sic] and his mistress Hannah Reynolds, married John Glasse in 1724, and, with a growing family and an indifferent husband, began collecting recipes and published this very popular book in 1747. However, she seems to have lacked business acumen and had accumulated debts totalling more than £10,000 by 1754; she was made bankrupt and the copyright for the book was taken over by Andrew Miller and a conger of other London booksellers. ESTC lists three ninth editions printed in 1765; this conforms to N29940 (Bodleian; Memorial Library Wisconsin-Madison, University of California San Diego). Another issue, N29940, has "Receips" in the title.
