Additional Details

A broadside printing of selected revised passages from Child's popular Frugal Housewife cookbook. A stated 27th edition (actually, "Twentg-seventh Edition"), but only the third edition of the much scarcer broadside version which we have traced. This edition not listed in BAL (cf 3105 and 3106 for apparently earlier broadside editions circa 1830). One copy in OCLC, at the American Antiquarian Society.
