352 pages. 19 x 13 cm. Born on the campus of the University of Virginia, in Charlottesville, and educated at a young age by her father, Professor Gessner Harrison, Mary demonstrated a proclivity for writing at an early age. After her marriage to Francis H. Smith, a Professor and Faculty Chairman at the University, Mary's writing began to flourish with her first work Art of Housekeeping (1878). Virginia Cookery-Book is a treasure trove of recipes, remedies and household help.
