Transcriber’s Note (continued)
This book has two authors and includes text and tables from many sources that are displayed in varying typographical styles. As a consequence the original manuscript is inconsistent in layout, spelling, accenting, capitalisation, etc.
Where there was a predominant use of a hyphen in a word the hyphenation of that word has been regularised. Other inconsistencies in the orginal manuscript have generally been retained in this transcription with some exceptions noted below. Typographical errors have been corrected without note and unbalanced quotation marks have been remedied when the change was obvious, and otherwise left unbalanced.
The more than 400 recipes/receipts in this transcription have been formatted in a consistent style which is faithful to the pattern used in the original publication.
Other changes include:
Page 225 – “Comsommé” changed to “Consommé” (A rich soup or gravy)
Page 2 in Appendix – corrected an obviously wrong daily rate in last line of A TABLE OF WAGES OR INCOME (1 7 5¾)
Page 37 in Appendix – Added missing header: “TO THE OFFICERS OF HIS MAJESTY’S HOUSEHOLD.”
Page 38 in Appendix – “exemplagratia” changed to “exempli gratia” (exempli gratia. For example)
