Milner and Company Limited, London, 1880. A New and Carefully Revised Edition. Hardcover. Good Condition/No Dust Jacket. A New System of Domestic Cookery; Formed Upon Principles of Economy: and Adapted to the Use of Private Families" by Maria Eliza Ketelby Rundell was first published in 1806 with subsequent editions, revisions and spin-offs throughout the 19th Century. Frederick Davis's original publication of "The English Cookery Book: comprising Mrs. Rundell's Domestic cookery, revised. With several modern dishes added thereto, carefully selected and simplified English Domestic Cookery based upon Mrs Rundell's Cookery Book" was published in 1856 by the London publisher Darton and Co. and copies are held by the British Library and Cambridge and Leeds University Libraries, this revised edition published by Milner and Company appears to have slipped the net of the major British libraries and there does not seem to be a copy held by any of them. This volume is undated, by its appearance it would seem to have been published during the later part of the 19th century and almost certainly during the working lifetime of the author.
