The Lady's Own Cookery Book, And New Dinner-Table Directory: In Which Will Be Found A Large Collection Of Original Receipts, Including Not Only The Result Of The Authoress's Many Years Observation, Experience, And Research, But Also The Contributions Of An Extensive Circle Of Acquaintance: Adapted To The Use Of Persons Living In The Highest Style, As Well As Those Of Moderate Fortune. This book is a result of an effort made by us towards making a contribution to the preservation and repair of original classic literature. In an attempt to preserve, improve and recreate the original content, we have worked towards: 1. Type-setting & Reformatting: The complete work has been re-designed via professional layout, formatting and type-setting tools to re-create the same edition with rich typography, graphics, high quality images, and table elements, giving our readers the feel of holding a 'fresh and newly' reprinted and/or revised edition, as opposed to other scanned & printed (Optical Character Recognition - OCR) reproductions. 2. Correction of imperfections: As the work was re-created from the scratch, therefore, it was vetted to rectify certain conventional norms with regard to typographical mistakes, hyphenations, punctuations, blurred images, missing content/pages, and/or other related subject matters, upon our consideration. Every attempt was made to rectify the imperfections related to omitted constructs in the original edition via other references. However, a few of such imperfections which could not be rectified due to intentional\unintentional omission of content in the original edition, were inherited and preserved from the original work to maintain the authenticity and construct, relevant to the work. We believe that this work holds historical, cultural and/or intellectual importance in the literary works community, therefore despite the oddities, we accounted the work for print as a part of our continuing effort towards preservation of literary work and our contribution towards the development of the society as a whole, driven by our beliefs. We are grateful to our readers for putting their faith in us and accepting our imperfections with regard to preservation of the historical content. HAPPY READING!

Autorenporträt
Charlotte Campbell Lady Bury (1775-1861) was a notable figure during the Regency period who made her mark both in the literary and social circles of England. Born into the Scottish aristocracy as Charlotte Campbell, she was the daughter of John Campbell of Calder and possessed literary aspirations from a young age. Following her marriage to Colonel John Campbell, she became Lady Charlotte Bury and began her literary career. She is most renowned for her contribution to culinary literature with her book 'The Lady's Own Cookery Book, and New Dinner-Table Directory' (1844), which not only reflects the sophisticated tastes of the period but also provides a window into the domestic management and culinary practices of the aristocracy. Known for her keen sense of observation and detail, Lady Bury's work presents a blend of recipes and etiquette, illustrating her understanding of the societal norms of her time. Her writing style combined practical guidance with an elegant prose that catered to the interests of her contemporaries. Lady Bury's works also showcase the interplay of gender roles and class identity within the realm of domesticity, thereby making her a significant, though often overlooked, author in the studies of Regency culinary history and literature. Her contributions extend her legacy beyond her lifespan, offering valuable insights into the cultural fabric of 19th-century Britain.
