Book Description
Printed cookbook divided into sections for categories of handwritten recipes (Philadelphia: Claxton, Remsen & Haffelfinger, 1870?), with recipes copied by Fanny Kemble in almost every section. Some recipes are attributed to individuals, such as "Mrs. Louis Agassiz" (Elizabeth Cabot Cary Agassiz, p. 27), and others to published sources, such as coffee recipes (p. 245) from Francis B. Thurber (author of Coffee: From plantation to cup, first published in 1866) and Alexis Soyer (author of The modern housewife or ménagère, first published in 1849). On the half title page, below the printed title The Household Treasury, the words "or Psalms & Lyrical Ballads" have been added carefully in ink. Eight leaves formerly laid in the book (six recipes; a list of food, drink, and prices titled "Reception Provisions for 110"; and a letter written by Fanny Kemble in Chestnut Hill dated August 21 (no year) to her adult daughter Sarah Butler Wister, providing additional details to a recipe); and the former backing of the spine are now stored in an envelope inside the box for the book. The binding is detached from the book block.
