Binding
12mo.(4.25" x 7.5") Full brown speckled calf with blindstamp frame to covers with fancy rule towards spine. Spine with five gilt rule bordered raised bands, gilt title on gilt rule bordered red leather to second compartment, gilt date at foot (scraped? off) (see pic). Prior owner's names to front free flyleaf. Mounted engraved title and frontisportrait from a leter [1720] edition. Edgewear, corners bumped and rubbed. Gilt date at foot appears to have been scraped off.
Format
First Authorized Edition (following two unauthorized) of this satire of Lister's edition of Apicius Coelius. William King, author of such classics as A Journey to London (another travesty of an earlier book by Lister), and The Art of Love (in imitation of Ovid), seems to have spent the best of his talents in spurious attacks on many of his better-known contemporaries. This particularly clever work parallels Horace's original Latin in THe Art of Poetry with King's amusing English version The Art of Cookery. [Bitting, p.260. Cagle 794. Foxon K57. Maclean, p.84. Oxford, p.51. Pennell, p.142. Simon, Bib. Gas., 908. Vicaire, p.475]
