[ Montefiore (Judith, Lady )]. The Jewish Manual; or Practical Information in Jewish and Modern Cookery, with a Collection of Valuable Recipes & Hints relating to the Toilette, Edited by a Lady, 1st edition, T. & W. Boone, 1846, scattered light finger-soiling, original blind-stamped green cloth, slightly rubbed and a few minor marks, spine darkened, 8vo (Qty: 1)Bitting p. 568. The first Kosher cook-book in the English language. The anonymous author is believed to be Lady Judith Montefiore, wife of the celebrated Sir Moses Montefiore of Ramsgate. This “First Lady of Anglo Jewry” is of significance both to Anglo-Jewish history and to the history of Jewish women. While embodying all the Victorian virtues of high moral purpose, sense of duty, charity and public–mindedness, she was a fierce loyalist to her faith and her people, devoted to Jewish causes and the welfare of Jews the world over. The cookbook reflects her social position and is clearly directed at ladies who maintain households with servants. She adapts recipes to conform to Jewish dietary laws, replacing ingredients such as lard, so much used in English kitchens, and eliminating shellfish and forbidden meats. Her section on the toilette is “Victorian” in tone. She recommends simplicity in dress, considers delicate hands a mark of elegance and refinement, and carefully assesses the effect of diet on the complexion. Lady Judith sought to elevate home cooking with social polish while remaining true to the tenets of Jewish practice. Additionally she intended that her cook-book would attract the attention of “those ladies not of the Hebrew persuasion” by providing them with recipes for sophisticated fare that was only incidentally Kosher. This is a rare nineteenth century work containing over 200 recipes, in addition to a glossary of French terms and the section on beauty. However, perhaps of more importance than the recipes themselves is the book's message that one can be “genteel without being Gentile”. NB: The estimate has been revised to £3000-4000

Jaguar XJ6 Sovereign (XJ40) Registration number: H459 WHH First Registered: 09-06-2000 Previously registered over seas, declared manufactured 1991 Engine Size: 3200cc Colour: Bronze Engine Number: 9BPANA101775 Chassis Number: SAJJHALG3AK637411 V5C present The contemporary fashion trends of the 80's were clear to see in the styling of XJ40 Sovereign unveiled in 1986. The overall proportions were unmistakably Jaguar, with an overall more angular feel to it, featuring rectangular headlamps as well as square rear lights. A real innovation for Jaguar was the quarter light in the rear pillar, creating six light style. XJ40 Sovereign was an instant success, and demand was initially greater than what Jaguar could supply. Under the skin, XJ40 featured a new rear suspension with double wishbones and the brake discs mounted outboard. The manual gearbox was a five speed Getrag transmission first seen on the XJS, while the automatic was a four speed ZF with a new shift called the 'J' gate. 'J' gate was the brainchild of Jim Randle; it allowed gears to be easily and rapidly selected for more lively motoring. Very few clean examples of this model due to a short production run quickly being superseded by newer models. This particular example sums up a time of economic wealth and customer's desire to show it, with bold colour schemes and sumptuous interiors. Finished in champagne gold and trimmed in beautiful biscuit leather, this is a true survivor of the lavish and indulgent 1980s. On inspection the interior is in remarkable, original condition with gleaming walnut and excellent internal brightwork. The engine is silky smooth and transmission changed effortlessly when expected. The coachwork is very original showing very few signs of age with only small areas of rust on the lower offside wing. Accompanied with a history file containing, old Mots, receipts, hand books and owner's manual. Buyer's premium of 10% (+VAT) applies to this lotOriginal paintwork with some signs of touch up. Lower front wings behind wheel arch rusted. Interior original with light wear. Leather seats good with light wear. Headlining showing areas of sagging. Wheels and Tyres good. Starts and drives well.
