Table traits with something on them.
(New York): Redfield, 1855
8vo. pp. 489; 11 (adverts). Original brown cloth, gilt lettering to spine. Rubbed at corners and spine head. A very good copy.
First American edition. Published one year after the English first but suprisingly much scarcer with no copies listed in copac. The volume provides a miscellany of anecdotes on food, drink, dining, coffeehouses, and cafes.
