Child, Theodore. Delicate Feasting.

Gilt- and silver-dec. tan cloth. First Edition. NY: Harper, 1890.

A charming diatribe on the pleasures of eating and dining, with chapters on relish and seasoning, the chemistry of cooking, the theory of soups, methods of preparing meats, on paratriptics and the making of tea and coffee, etc. Chipping to spine ends, else very good.
