A New System of Domestic Cookery: Published Nov 21st 1805, by J. Murray
If anyone is interested, I have a large collection of old, but digitized cookbooks. Some are extremely long and in need of editing. If it worked 200 years ago, it should work for us...
Please let me know if you'd like me to continue posting these books. Many will have to be ten or more separate posts due to the board's size constraints.

AS the following directions were intended for the conduct of the families of the authoress's own daughters, and for the arrangement of their table so as to unite a good figure with proper economy, she has avoided all excessive luxury, such as essence of ham, and that wasteful expenditure of large quantities of meat for gravy, which so greatly contributes to keep up the price, and is no less injurious to those who eat than to those whose penury obliges them to abstain. Many receipts are given for things, which being in daily use, the mode of preparing them may be supposed too well known to require a place in a cookery-book; yet how rarely do we meet with fine melted butter, good toast and water, or well-made coffee! She makes no apology for minuteness in some articles, or for leaving others unnoticed, because she does not write for professed cooks. This little work would have been a treasure to herself when she first set out in life, and she therefore hopes it may prove useful to others. In that expectation it is given to the Public; and as she will receive from it no emolument, so she trusts it will escape without censure.
