Publisher's Synopsis
A special limited edition to celebrate the 275th Anniversary of the Amer. Philosophical Soc. (APS), which was founded by Benjamin Franklin. The accidental discovery in the Franklin Papers of a set of cooking recipes and the many allusions to food scattered through Ben Franklin's various works and letters have led to an inquiry the results of which may throw some new light on a little studied aspect of the Sage of Phila. This concise book, a special edition of the 1958 original, contains an essay on "Benjamin Franklin On the Art of Eating" by Gilbert Chinard; a collection of Franklin's "Rules [for Eating] & Recipes"; & a Foreword by Patrick Spero, Librarian of the APS. Illustrations. A great keepsake at a great price!
