Have you ever wondered how to make rice pudding, searched in vain for a recipe for burnt cream, or felt the urge to make refreshing homemade ginger beer? Would you like to know a foolproof cure for lumbago, or how to whip up a soothing salve for scalds and burns? Or perhaps you'd simply like to know an exceptionally effective method for destroying rats? In the early 1800s Mary Clements compiled a book of just such recipes, remedies and household hints, when she became the second Lady Leitrim and took over the running of Killadoon, a beautiful Georgian mansion in County Kildare, Ireland. Friends, relatives and experts in their field from far and wide wrote to Lady Mary to share their knowledge and wisdom, and she recorded their advice in a notebook, where she kept many of the original letters tucked neatly inside the front cover. Part cookbook, part household reference and part social history, Lady Mary's Book of Receipts offers a fascinating glimpse into life in a Georgian home, as well as some wonderful original recipes, remedies and cures - many of which would be deadly today!

Female Alliances
Author: Amanda E. Herbert
Publisher: Yale University Press
ISBN: 0300177402
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 271
Book Description
In the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, cultural, economic, and political changes, as well as increased geographic mobility, placed strains upon British society. But by cultivating friendships and alliances, women worked to socially cohere Britain and its colonies. In the first book-length historical study of female friendship and alliance for the early modern period, Amanda Herbert draws on a series of interlocking microhistorical studies to demonstrate the vitality and importance of bonds formed between British women in the long eighteenth century. She shows that while these alliances were central to women’s lives, they were also instrumental in building the British Atlantic world.

Lady Mary Shepherd
Author: Deborah Boyle
Publisher: Andrews UK Limited
ISBN: 1788360001
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 298
Book Description
The philosophical writings of Lady Mary Shepherd (1777-1847) reveal an astute and lively intellect. In An Essay upon the Relation of Cause and Effect (1824) and Essays on the Perception of an External Universe, and Other Subjects Connected with the Doctrine of Causation (1827), Shepherd engaged critically with the views of Hume, Berkeley, Reid, Stewart, de Condillac, and others, but she also presented an original and carefully argued philosophical system of her own. Highly regarded in her day, Shepherd's work faded into obscurity after her death; this collection of selections from her writings is intended to bring her work back into focus for students and scholars. Selections include her writings about causation, knowledge of the external world, mathematical and physical induction, belief in miracles and God, and mind and body. This volume also includes an 1828 essay Shepherd published on vision.
