A major figure in American food and dining circles, Shircliffe is best known for the Edgewater Beach Hotel Salad Book, published in 1926, and for his large collection of early culinary printed books and manuscripts which was sold after his death in 1952. H. B. Meeks' preface to the sale catalogue describes him as 'an early and avid albeit a well-informed and discriminating collector. His every selection should stand as personally endorsed by one of the great epicures of our day'. His collection of some 14,000 menus was donated to the New York Historical Society.Together with the sheer number and variety of receipts, what is also striking about this volume is the inclusion of at least eight remedies for cholera, contemporary with the epidemic of 1853-1854. The years 1846-1860 saw the third worldwide cholera pandemic and the 1853 outbreak claimed 10,000 lives in London alone. An extract from the London News, 19 November 1853 written out in this volume reads '...during the time the cholera was at its height here I was suddenly attacked with violent pains in the bowels which I succeeded in removing after taking in about thirty minutes three doses of the above... This was not the only cure that came under my immediate knowledge during the trying time the pestilence was here among us...', another urges that on the onset of symptoms one should '...send off for medical men immediately... people disregard the incipient stage and then the Disease often soon becomes too powerful to counteract by medicine...'.Provenance: Arnold Shircliffe, bookplate; sale of his cookery book collection, Parke-Bernet Galleries, New York, 9 and 10 November 1954, lot 434.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: •• Zero rated for VAT, no VAT will be added to the Hammer Price or the Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

I would advise when you put them in jars in your Rooms never to put them in any thing but China as the Salt Penetrates through the Wedgwood Ware & soon moulders it away...'); some pages at end inverted; with indices, a page of handwriting exercises, a note of the birth dates of the Croft children, newspaper cuttings from the 1770's to 1790's stuck in (includes cutting from The Repository of a letter to the editor from Philologer of Sillington, 7 December 1773'), a note of 'Brydges & Walker/ Lacemen/ at the three Crowns the Corner/ of Bedford Street Covent Garden/ London' and other pencil notes on front flyleaf, indistinct ownership inscription ('Mrs Croft...') in ink on front board, c.280 pages, some pages excised, browning, staining and signs of wear, one or two small worm holes and some losses and small tears, contemporary vellum, worn, 4to (200 x 160mm.), mid eighteenth to early nineteenth centuryFootnotes:'AT STILLINGTON THE FAMILY OF THE CROFTS SHOWED US EVERY KINDNESS': RECEIPT BOOK FROM THE HOUSEHOLD OF LAURENCE STERNE'S NEIGHBOURS AND FRIENDS, THE CROFTS OF STILLINGTON.Laurence Sterne wrote his literary masterpiece, The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman whilst incumbent of St Nicholas Church, Stillington, Yorkshire, a position he held from 1745 until his death in 1768. Although revered in London and Parisian society after its publication, he remained unpopular in his home parish – maybe because he chose to reside in Sutton-in-the-Forest, two miles away, or maybe due to his preference for shooting and other less salubrious pursuits over his ecclesiastical duties. However, he did become close friends with the Croft family at Stillington and Stephen Croft (1712-1798) became an intimate friend and correspondent, who helped Sterne and his wife out financially, as well as championing his works in Yorkshire society and giving him the means to travel to London to promote his book. As Sterne himself writes: 'I remained twenty years at Sutton, doing duty at both places. I had then very good health. Books, painting, fiddling and shooting were my amusements... at Stillington the family of the C__s showed us every kindness; 't was most truly agreeable to be within a mile and a half of an amiable family who were every cordial friends.' (Letters of the Late Rev. Mr. Laurence Sterne, to his Most Intimate Friends, Vol. I, 1776, p.8.). Indeed Croft is widely credited with saving the manuscript of Tristram Shandy from certain destruction. After a fine dinner at Stillington, Sterne chose to read an early draft of his novel to the assembled company. Replete with food and wine, the audience, so the story goes, '...fell asleep, at which Sterne was so nettled that he threw the Manuscript into the fire, and had not luckily Mr Croft rescued the scorched papers from the flames, the work wou'd have been consigned to oblivion.' (John Croft, 'Anecdotes of Sterne vulgarly Tristram Shandy' in The Whitefoord Papers, ed. WAS Hewins, Oxford, 1898). Stephen's brother John Croft also comments in his Anecdotes that Sterne was a 'constant Guest at my brother's Table' (Ian Campbell Ross, Laurence Sterne, A Life, Oxford, 2013, p.101) and, although much of this volume seems to date from after Sterne's time at Stillington, it would however be interesting to speculate whether he sampled any of the receipts included herein.A member of the famous Croft wine-shipping dynasty, Stephen Croft rebuilt Stillington Hall to much admiration, 'was not only an active Whig but also a man who shared Sterne's tastes in painting, music, and literature: in years to come he could commission Joshua Reynolds to paint his portrait [and] act as a director of the York Assembly Rooms...'

MANUSCRIPT RECIPE BOOK – DURHAMHousehold recipe book, bearing the ownership inscriptions of 'Henrietta Wharton' with 'Old Park' written in another hand on inside front board, and that of her husband 'Richd Wharton Old Park/ Neigh Bpp Auckland' on inside leaf, comprising culinary and medicinal receipts in several hands, including 'Raspberry Wine equal to Burgundy', ' Yorkshire Cakes', 'Poor Squires', 'Worcestershire Rolls', 'Charcoal Soup', 'Lady Delaware's Orange Puddings', 'White Catchup Old Park', the 'Receipt for Sally Lunns Mrs Needs' Bakers at Bath' is illustrated with a diagram ('...The mode of buttering her is extremely material. She must be cut horizontally into three, buttered, & then divided into quarters... after which Sally must be put into the oven again for a few minutes... Her form is so regular that perhaps she is baked in a tin...'), 'To keep butter two years', 'Brain Sauce', 'To cure frozen Limbs', 'To prevent colours running in Washing', 'Cure for the bite of a Cobra di Capello', 'Opening Pills', 'Method of destroying the Putrid smell which meat acquires during hot weather', 'Stone color – Auckland Castle', 'For making Leather Water proof', some later recipes attributed with names or initials ('Mrs Rt Wharton', 'O.P.', 'Mrs Ingilby'); household notes including instructions for weaving ('...Kitchen table cloths sheet 9d Pound spun to 20 cuts N.B. Mrs Hutchinson wheel is 5 quarters long...'), the names of tradesmen ('Wallis & Vasey... Flax-dresser/ John Kidd Newcastle'), and a 'receipt for boiling yarn' ('...let the yarn be well covered and boil it slowly... let it be well rubbed between the hands, ant beat upon a table to make it smooth...'), index at end, last two leaves inverted, 149 leaves, 65 blanks, browning, spotting and usual wear, contemporary quarter calf, defective, c.1792 onwardsFootnotes:Richard Wharton (c.1764-1828) of Old Park, Durham, was the second son of Thomas Wharton (d.1794), physician and close friend of the poet Thomas Gray (indeed it was from Old Park that Gray embarked on his tour of the Lakes in 1769). He married Henrietta, daughter of James Farrer of Clapham, Yorkshire, in June 1792. That she signs her ownership inscription with her married name would therefore suggest that date as a terminus post quem for this volume. Richard Wharton was a barrister and served as MP for Durham from 1802-4 and 1806-20, was sometime chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means, joint Secretary of the Treasury and a Fellow of the Royal Society. Samuel Egerton Brydges described him as a man of 'quick talents, much literature, and most pleasing manners, hospitable and open; a man of the world, of a handsome person and benevolent expression'. It would appear he lived at Old Park as the tenant of his elder brother, Robert.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: •• Zero rated for VAT, no VAT will be added to the Hammer Price or the Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
MANUSCRIPT RECIPE BOOKHousekeeping and recipe book, titled 'Receipt Book' in ink on front board, containing culinary and medicinal receipts in several hands, many acknowledging their source, including 'To make the Alsom Wine; Lady Chandois's Receipt', 'Mrs Willis's Receipt to make a green Agl that is good for sprains and bruises', 'An oatmeal pudding... We make it with little better than new milk & do not put in the full quantity of butter', 'To preserve a pumpkin, Lady Guildford', another from 'Lord Kiladaire's cook', 'To dress a calves head like Turtle, Lady Skipwith', 'Spinnage Toasts', 'Girdler's Seed Cake', 'My little boys cake' and 'To make the best sausages in the world', interspersed with medicinal recipes such as 'Gout cordial', 'Mrs Pyms Receipt to destroy bugs', one annotated 'Mrs Madden's little boys life saved... he had all the worst simptoms'; plus some 29 pages of inventories dating from 1732 to 1793, pertaining to stocks of 'kitching things taken by Simper at Woodberry' ('...10 hand candlesticks... 5 high candlesticks... 4 coffee pots 3 of them mine... 1 chocolate pot mine (the old one put in store rooms)... cheese toaster... shaving pot', pewter (for best '3 Large Dishes engrav'd with a large crest...'), and other items 'for the use of servants...', including '3 Boyling pots... 5 spits... 1 lark spit... 1 pair of waffle tongs... 2 Drudging Box's... 1 pepper box... 1 coxcomb cutter...'; inventories and charts relating to household linen and weaving ('...2 Fine Bird's Eye Table Cloths... 4 small layovers very old... 6 long Huckaback Towels... 39 pillow cases...'), endpapers with notes of suppliers ('J Bruckner Shoe maker 32 King Street Portman Squ...

IT IS BETTER TO HAVE A TABLE CLOTH & NAPKINS WOVE AT THE SAME TIME AND THE PATTERN MUST BE THE SAME AS THE LOOM IS SET FOR': the daughter of the house practices good household economy. Whilst there is no ownership inscription in this volume, it appears to have been in the possession of the daughter of a wealthy, well-connected family (one of the inventories is of her father's plate). Her receipts come from a plethora of illustrious names, Lady Skipwith, Lord Kildare and Lady Chandos, to name but three, and she manages the linen and plate for a house in the country, Woodberry, and in town at Henrietta Street. The culinary receipts are a mixture of the fanciful designed to impress ('To dress a calves head like a turtle') and the domestic ('My little boys cake'). In addition there are several pages of inventories in various hands ranging in date from 1726 to the end of the century, meticulous record keeping accounting for every item. Whilst the best linen was of the fine Irish sort, she oversaw the weaving, presumably locally, of everyday material, noting 'Lockhit – Weaver – Donnington near Newbury – Berks – send the thread in March...'. From these pages we also know the names of the family's servants and their favoured suppliers, notably a Mr Bruckner, shoe maker of 32 King Street, who advertised himself in the later years of the eighteenth century as fine shoe-maker to her Royal Highness the Princess Amelia but, according to the London Gazette succumbed to bankruptcy in 1807.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: •• Zero rated for VAT, no VAT will be added to the Hammer Price or the Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
MANUSCRIPT RECIPE BOOKBook of culinary receipts written in several late seventeenth and eighteenth century hands many with attractive calligraphic headings, including recipes for 'Marmalade of Rasberrys or Currants', 'To Preserve Garlick', 'Plum Paste', 'To make Mushrooms' ('...The Goosberrys will be as white as sugar & your barberrys of a Fine Red... box them up for a very Gentell Sweet Meat...'), 'Cleare Cakes', 'Orange Chipes', 'To Make Chocolat', 'Shrewsbury Jumballs', 'Dutch Biskett', 'A Good Plum Cake', 'Spirit of Oranges', 'Guniper Water' ('...And this water is good for old and weak stomacks its good for the wind in the stomack and other parts of the body...'), 'Benjamine Water', 'Syrup of Poppies' ('This is a good cordial to cause sleep...'), 'Raspberry or Gilliflower Wine', 'Hedghogg Pudding', 'To make Liverings', 'Stump Pye', 'To dress a codes Head', 'Oyster Loafes', 'Gravey to keep', 'To pickle sparrowgrass', later recipes written in a close hand with more medicinal remedies ('Oyle of Charity', 'For the Kings Evil & to Sweeten the Blood', 'Wound drink'), includes eight pages headed 'Bills of Fares', listing ideas for first and second courses, illustrated with two diagrams of dishes within decorative borders suggesting how they should be laid on the table, two tables awaiting completion, one later recipe tipped in, possible ownership inscription 'Ths [?] Hayes Esq' on final leaf, 167 leaves, mostly written on recto only, each leaf with watermarked either 'Pro Patria Maid of Dort' or 'VI', 13 blank leaves at end, browning, spotting, seventeenth century panelled calf, scuffed, rebacked, losses at corners, folio (315 x 195mm.), late seventeenth to mid eighteenth centuryFootnotes:'THIS IS PROPER FOR A SECOND COURSE SIDE DISH OR MIDDLE DISH FOR SUPPER': an attractive mostly culinary recipe book, including a set of menus and decorative table plans suggesting how to serve the dishes à la française. It was in the early eighteenth century that English cookery books began including table plans as well as 'bills of fare' in their pages, influenced possibly by seventeenth-century French writers such as François Massialot and Nicolas de Bonnefons. According to Fiona Lucraft in her paper 'The Fine Art of Eighteenth-Century Table Layouts' (The Meal: Proceedings of the Oxford Symposium on Food and Cookery, 2001, ed. Harlam Walker, p.167-73), the first English cookery book to depict how a table should be laid à la française seems to be Henry Howard's England's Newest Way of 1708. The popularity of this more formal table plan increased and by 1747, 'when Hannah Glasse declared in The Art of Cookery Made Plain and Easy that she thought it an impertinence 'to direct a Lady how to set out her Table' she chose to stand out from the crowd of eighteenth-century cookery writers who clearly believed it was pertinent.' (Lucraft, p.165). The decorative borders in our book may also be a nod to Martha Bradley's The British Housewife of 1756 which included a 'decorative edging on the page which adds to the attractive design and seems very feminine in comparison to the strict linear arrangement of previous layouts' (Lacroft, p.171). In our volume, as was common practice, there are two courses comprising savoury and sweet dishes on the table together, with three sizes of plates relating to the type of dish being served demonstrating symmetry and a clear hierarchy of recipes, the lesser ones being placed at the corners. Our first course has a centrepiece dish of 'Beef Royall' surrounded by dishes such as a 'Lamb Pye' and 'Sheeps Tongues a la Mode', the second course comprising 'Tartes and Custards', 'Ducks and Geese', and 'Hartichokes'. A great pie or a sallamagundy could be a suitable addition, and our book contains a receipe for 'A Salamgundy' comprising chicken, rabbit and veal ('...this is proper for a second course side dish or middle dish for supper...'). Several of our recipes helpfully indicate where they should be placed on the table ('a genteel side dish' or 'serve it for a pretty side dish to your Ladyships Table') and how they should be presented to best effect ('Garnish with horse raddish, pickles barberries and shred lemon'), and are written in a clear, friendly style (in one recipe, for example, the writer apologises for repeating an instruction, saying 'I forgott I told you before...').This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: •• Zero rated for VAT, no VAT will be added to the Hammer Price or the Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

An important innovation was Massialot's use of the alphabetisation of recipes, which anticipated the culinary dictionary. The work also saw the first appearance of meringues under their familiar name, and of 'Crème brûlée' - finished off using a 'red-hot fire shovel' - a dish which remarkably then vanished from French cookbooks until the 1980s.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: •• Zero rated for VAT, no VAT will be added to the Hammer Price or the Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
