Publisher, place and date LACKING (note, this is due to title page being MISSING), although an ad for another book being published indicates this was published/printed by J. Cooke in Pater-Noster Row. London: Perhaps circa 1762. The ad in the rear of the book advertises for a book being published "This Day," and titled, "The Polite Tutoress: Or, Young Lady's Instructor." ESTC record N12395 indicates this was published in 1761 (although presumably erroneously attributed to printer J. Coote, as the record notes). Copies of the third and fourth edition of this work scanned online give a different book ad in the rear. Bound in paper covered boards with a leather spine. Pagination runs 5-132, with title page and any other pages prior to page 5 MISSING. This includes the plate mentioned in ESTC records. Pages 101-103 with diagrams outlining the planning of dishes for various courses of meals. A cookbook written by Catherine Brooks providing recipes for a variety of meals, meats, candying, pudding, etc. Also present is a section of remedies for various ailments and a section on washing muslin cloth via clear starching. POOR condition. MISSING the aforementioned pages. Very heavy scuffing and wear to the covers and spine, with extensive loss of leather along the spine, as well as moderate to heavy chipping and loss to the paper covering the boards. General soiling and staining to the covers. Extremities very worn. One front endpaper present, but detached. Pastedown endpaper in the rear separated from the board, with tearing and loss, and ink math notations present. Tear and loss, slightly affecting text on the center fore edge of leaf 5/6. Leaf 67/68 MISSING. General toning, soiling and staining in the interior, with a few pages bearing tears in their foredge margins. See ESTC record N28266 for record of a circa 1767 copy.
