The New Family Receipt Book containing eight hundred truly valuable receipts in various branches of domestic economy ... A new edition, corrected.

New Haven: Published by Howe & Spalding, and Samuel Wadsworth; A.H. Maltby & Co., Printers, 1819.

Duodecimo, xxi, [37]-429, [6] pages. Index. Publisher's advertisements. Second American edition. Originally published London, 1810, and in Philadelphia, 1818 (see Cagle 567). Also see Cagle 566 for a lengthy description of the possible attribution of this work to Mrs. Rundell. We side with Cagle on this and find the attribution unlikely.

Includes sections on Fire, Fireworks (listed under Pleasing Experiments), and Fire-arms. Text block age-toned; some staining; one leaf with a corner tear not affecting text. In original brown calf with red morocco spine title, hinges tissue-strengthened inside and out; corners bumped. Good. Scarce.
