This special edition of 'Southern Gardener and Receipt Book' was written by Mrs. Mary L. Edgeworth, and first published in 1860. Although the title looks like it features an unfortunate typo, what we call recipes today, were formerly known as receipts. Who knew? The book features sections on Gardening, Cookery, Beverages, The Dairy, Veterinary Receipts, and more. This epic tome of over 450 pages is a fantastic addition to the libraries of all Homesteaders, Off-Griders, and all those interested in House-Keeping in the historical aspect.
