This limited special edition of the 1958 original was published to celebrate the 275th anniversary of the American Philosophical Society. It contains an essay by eminent American-French scholar and historian, Gilbert Chinard, and an introduction by former Assistant Librarian and Curator of Printed Materials at the American Philosophical Society, Roy Goodman. Prompted by the many allusions to food scattered throughout his writings and the unexpected discovery of a set of cooking recipes in the Franklin Papers, this concise work sheds new light on a seldom studied side of Benjamin Franklin. An illustrated keepsake, it is sure to be savored by gastronauts, history lovers, and general readers alike!
