Its author, although not given on the title by name (but rather simply referred to as \u2018a Physician\u2019), was one William Kitchiner (1778-1827), who claimed to have been educated at Eton and to have obtained \u2018a Scottish medical degree\u2019 from Glasgow \u2013 a qualification \u2018which barred him from practice in England, [so that] he could style himself Dr Kitchiner MD, and as he possessed an extensive library of medical books, this title was not challenged\u2019 (ODNB). Thanks to a large inheritance Kitchiner was able to spend much of his time and efforts on his passions: optics (which gained him a fellowship of the Royal Society), music, and gastronomy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"450\" height=\"789\" src=\"https:\/\/www.typeandforme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/3094_04.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9508\" style=\"width:400px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.typeandforme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/3094_04.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.typeandforme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/3094_04-171x300.jpg 171w, https:\/\/www.typeandforme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/3094_04-200x350.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kitchiner hosted infamous luncheons and dinners at his home in Warren Street, Marylebone, accompanied by music and lively discussions.&nbsp;<em>The Cook\u2019s Oracle<\/em>&nbsp;is a collection of recipes for the dishes he served to a \u2018committee of taste\u2019 constituted from eminent members of society. One of the regular guests, the journalist William Jerdan, recalled the dinners with some bemusement, stating drily that Kitchiner\u2019s \u2018medical (\u201cPeptic\u201d) precepts and gastronomic practices were wonderfully combined, insomuch that it was not always easy to tell, in partaking of what was set before you, whether you might be swallowing a meal or a prescription at his hospitable, or, as the case might be, his hospital board [&#8230;]. The dinners at which he entertained a few of his intimates (generally six or eight, at most) were by no means so&nbsp;<em>bizarre<\/em>&nbsp;as rumour gave them out. If the oddities were there, there was always a fair counterbalance of the relishable and genuine\u2019 (<em>Men I have Known&nbsp;<\/em>(1866), p. 283).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"450\" height=\"728\" src=\"https:\/\/www.typeandforme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/3094_05.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9509\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.typeandforme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/3094_05.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.typeandforme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/3094_05-185x300.jpg 185w, https:\/\/www.typeandforme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/3094_05-216x350.jpg 216w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the hundreds of recipes recorded in&nbsp;<em>The Cook\u2019s Oracle<\/em>&nbsp;were prepared with the help of Henry Osborne, chef to Sir Joseph Banks, and the preface to the third edition reproduced at the beginning of this edition states, among other things, that \u2018that worthy President of the Royal Society [i.e. Banks] was so sensible of the importance of the subject the Editor was investigating \u2013 that He sent his Cook to assist him in his arduous task\u2019 (pp. xiii-xiv). The recipes corrected by Osborne are gathered under one heading (No. 560) and comprise ten puddings, six recipes using \u2018spring fruit\u2019 (rhubarb, gooseberries) and four for gourd dishes. The brief preface to the fourth edition points out an additional \u2018One Hundred and Thirty New Receipts\u2019 for \u2018the best methods of making Omelettes, Puddings, Maigre and Savoury Pasties, Maigre and Savoury Patties, Preserves, Tarts, Cakes, and the general business of The Pastry Cook and the Baker\u2019 as well as \u2018an easy and economical Process for preparing Pickles\u2019, adding the caveat that \u2018some of them have not yet been proved in [&#8230;] [the] kitchen\u2019 (pp. xvii-xviii).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"450\" height=\"572\" src=\"https:\/\/www.typeandforme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/3094_02.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9506\" style=\"width:350px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.typeandforme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/3094_02.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.typeandforme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/3094_02-236x300.jpg 236w, https:\/\/www.typeandforme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/3094_02-275x350.jpg 275w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The Cook\u2019s Oracle<\/em>&nbsp;is by far Kitchiner\u2019s most famous and popular cookbook and is described by the ODNB as \u2018written in a down-to-earth style\u2019, which demonstrates his \u2018familiarity with the entire process, from shopping, through preparing and serving the dishes, to cleaning up. It was an acknowledged source of inspiration for Mrs Beeton, and was mined by the writers of other household guides\u2019. Quayle, by contrast, finds the book \u2018interesting and unwittingly amusing\u2019, and aligned with the fashion for \u2018outlandish publications\u2019 following the close of the Napoleonic wars (Quayle,&nbsp;<em>Old Cook Books<\/em>, pp. 151 and 149). The popularity of&nbsp;<em>The Cook\u2019s Oracle&nbsp;<\/em>ensured some twenty editions to appear by 1840, and this fourth edition was followed by a fifth and a sixth edition in the following year. This copy was given to one Mrs Coryton by Mrs Foster in the year of publication (the inscription is dated 27 September 1822), and is a relatively uncommon example of a Regency-era cookery book being given by one woman to another.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"450\" height=\"798\" src=\"https:\/\/www.typeandforme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/3094_01.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9505\" style=\"width:350px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.typeandforme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/3094_01.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.typeandforme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/3094_01-169x300.jpg 169w, https:\/\/www.typeandforme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/3094_01-197x350.jpg 197w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the following century, this copy was in the noted library of the historian of science and bibliophile R.E.W. Maddison, who was educated at King\u2019s College, London where he was awarded a BSc in 1921 and a PhD in 1924. After working as an industrial chemist and a schoolmaster at Wellington College , Maddison devoted his professional energies to the history of science: he held a Leverhulme Research Fellowship in 1962-1964 and was appointed Librarian of the Royal Astronomical Society in 1965, holding the position until his retirement ten years later. As Maddison\u2019s obituarist J.A. Bennett commented, \u2018[i]t is remarkable that he achieved so much in a field which he came to, at least professionally, late in life. [&#8230;] His major work as a historian was&nbsp;<em>The Life of the Honourable Robert Boyle<\/em>, published by Taylor &amp; Francis in 1969\u2019 (\u2018Obituary R. E. W.
