Haywood (Eliza) A New Present for a Servant-Maid...The Whole Art of Cookery, Pickling, Preserving &c., first edition, engraved frontispiece, this torn with small loss to lower corner of image (supplied) and laid down, title and a few other ff. with marginal repairs / mounted on a stub (see in particular final f.), first and last couple of ff. with some soiling, occasional spotting or mostly light staining, lightly browned, antique style half calf, spine gilt and with red morocco label, [Bitting p.220; Cagle 733; Maclean p.67; Simon BG 828], 8vo, Printed for G. Pearch, No. 12, Cheapside; and H. Gardner, opposite St. Clement's Church, in the Strand, 1771.

⁂ Rare at auction. Of the few copies that have appeared at auction over the last decades many lacked the frontispiece or had some textual loss, or indeed both. While this is the first appearance of this title it owes much to her A Present for a Servant-Maid: or, the sure means of gaining love and esteem, of 1743. Haywood (c.1693-1756) was an English writer (particularly novels), actor and publisher.
