Description:
This is a
facsimile reprint
of a very rare 154-year-old collection of old recipes, family medical cures, instructions for the care of horses and other livestock, and household how-to information, compiled over a 30-year period by Mr. John Marquart of Lebanon, Pennsylvania. The book was intended for the use of farmers, homesteaders and housewives, in the hopes that it would make their lives a little bit easier.
I don’t usually offer modern reprints, however this book is so scarce that you might die of old age before you find a decent original edition that doesn’t cost you an arm and a leg. When I saw this one I thought what the heck maybe someone will want to own it just for the wealth of information it contains.
This is a book that invites experimentation. Who could read this book and not be tempted to try some of its unique recipes and formulas in their own kitchen? How can you help but wonder if maybe our ancestors, who were far more dependent on their horses and livestock than we are today, knew better ways of caring for them in sickness and health? The same goes for family medicine – there weren’t always doctors available. In many instances, folks had to fend for themselves, using books just like this. Maybe they knew something we don’t?
Home brewers will also take a shine to this book. It contains many antique beverage recipes, including how to make many types of fruit wine and even hard liquor like whiskey, gin and scotch.
Craftspeople and others interested in creating antique finishes will also find this book fascinating, with its many recipes for antique paints, varnishes, japanning, etc.
In order to give you the most accurate description of this book, I have provided some helpful details below. For your convenience, I have arranged the 600 recipes by category (they are somewhat scattered in the text). As you read it, you’ll probably get the same impression I did – that in the right hands, this book still has the potential to be very useful today, 154 years after it was published, yet at the same time can be a bit eccentric and amusing.
All of the details below are to help you make an informed decision when bidding. I hope you’ll take a few moments to have a look
