The frontispiece shows the worst spotting, some pages are tanned, pp149 and 289 particularly so, most pages are good. Cagle notes: ‘First edition thus, London, 1817. This work, as A W Oxford, p.145, notes is an abbreviated edition of The Family Receipt-Book, (Anon, 3rd edition ca 1814). Hughson’s name is not associated with the earlier work, which was published by a different publisher, and it appears he was the preparer of this version but not necessarily the earlier one. BMC ( British Museum General Catalogue 1955) records David Hughson, LLD, as the pseudonym of David Pugh, author of several salty nineteenth century books about London. NUC ( National Union Catalogue, Pre-1956 Imprints Chicago, 1968-1980) states that David Hughson is the pseudonym of Edward Pugh, the same author BMC refers to as David Pugh, and includes The New Family Receipt Book among his works. Both BMC and NUC enter the earlier work, The Family Receipt-Book, under title’. Edward Pugh was a writer on the topography and history of London. Recipes for ‘Domestic Economy, Medical Receipts, and other Desiderata for Household Arrangement’ sit alongside each other and provide a perspective on early eighteenth century life. A truly remarkably book with recipes for Fine French Bread, Prime Irish Usquebaugh (an alcoholic cordial), essence of American Spruce for making beer, "Spruce Beer from the process adopted by the famous Captain Cook", Best Brunswick Sausages, Manner of destroying caterpillars on Gooseberry Bushes in Scotland, "French Citizens' Soup', Sir John Hill's Specific for the Scurvy, To dress a turtle after the West India manner', diet drink for Ricketts, French Fricassee of Frogs, Turkish method of filtering water by Ascension, successful treatment of frozen limbs by the Russians, easy manner of always obtaining sufficient supplies of fresh water at sea, genuine Indian method of cooking a curry, art of manufacturing the fine red and yellow morocco leather as practised in Crim Tartary, genuine method of making Cheshire Cheese etc. Bitting p.237, Cagle 766, Axford p.294 and Oxford p.145.
