Notes to Above Pictures

(*1) "A Few Delicious Delicacies Easily Made" was probably from the early 1890’.s, and a little earlier than the version pictured below.  The cookbook contains 16 pages, not counting the inside cover pages.  No illustrations.

(*2) A 2nd variation of "A Few Delicious Delicacies Easily Made".  This version contains 20 pages and has some illustrations.  The recipes are similar, but not identical.

(*3) What’s Cooking, 100^th Anniversary Issue - This is likely the Joseph Burnett Company’s last cookbook prior to the by-out by American Home Products in 1946.  It is similar to the 1943 cookbook.  The seal on top indicates the Company’s 100^th anniversary, by using the date Joseph Burnett became a partner to Theodore Metcalf (1845).
