Notes

A Jewish cook book, albeit not a kosher one, as seen in the recipes for oysters. Note, however, the "Easter Dishes" section (pp. 451-66 in the 4th ed.), all related to Passover and preparation of the seder table. Compiler saw the 4th ed., held by NN (has interspersed blank "Memorandum" pages), OU. Frequently reissued and enlarged, with some editions containing "Aunt Babette’s" Home Confectionary (38 p.). For authorship, see Eleanor Parker Brown, Culinary Americana: Cookbooks Published in the Cities and Towns of the United States of America during the Years from 1860 Through 1960 (New York, 1961), no. 706 (for 1889 ed.).
