Excerpt from American Cookery Books, 1742-1860 The first edition of this bibliography very quickly went out of print, and the American Antiquarian Society was besieged with requests for copies for years. In spite of this pressure, the editors of the Society's publication had to put off the question of a second edition from year to year because of the pressure of previous publishing commitments and the fact that the time could not be spared to visit other libraries to bring up to date the record of their holdings. The problem was solved when Miss Eleanor Lowenstein stepped into the breach, undertook the task of revi sion, and shouldered the responsibility of this edition.
