The Boston Cooking School: A facsimile of the first edition, originally published in 1896.

Cookery means the knowledge of Medea and of Circe and of Helen and of the Queen of Sheba. It means the knowledge of all herbs and fruits and balms and spices, and all that is healing and sweet in the fields and groves and savory in meats.  It means carefulness and inventiveness and willingness and readiness of appliances.  It means the economy of your grandmothers and the science of the modern chemist; it means much testing and no wasting; it means English thoroughness and French art and Arabian hospitality; and, in fine, it means that you are to be perfectly and always ladies - loaf givers.

-- Ruskin

Comes with hundreds of recipes along with historic ads which were originally published around 1896.  Also Included, are interesting and informative comments about ingredients and cooking utensils.
