"—ingeniosa gula est." MARTIAL.

TO GUSTAVUS BRANDER, Esq. F.R.S. F.S.A. and Cur. Brit. Mus.

SIR,

I return your very curious Roll of Cookery, and I trust with some Interest,
not full I confess nor legal, but the utmost which your Debtor, from the
scantiness of his ability, can at present afford. Indeed, considering your
respectable situation in life, and that diffusive sphere of knowledge and
science in which you are acting, it must be exceedingly difficult for any
one, how well furnished soever, completely to answer your just, or even
most moderate demands. I intreat the favour of you, however, to accept for
once this short payment in lieu of better, or at least as a public testimony of
that profound regard wherewith I am,

SIR,

Your affectionate friend, and most obliged servant, St. George's day,
1780.

S. PEGGE.

PREFACE

TO THE

CURIOUS ANTIQUARIAN READER.

Without beginning ab ovo on a subject so light (a matter of importance,
however, to many a modern Catius or Amasinius), by investigating the
origin of the Art of Cookery, and the nature of it as practised by the
Antediluvians [1]; without dilating on the several particulars concerning it
afterwards amongst the Patriarchs, as found in the Bible [2], I shall turn
myself immediately, and without further preamble, to a few cursory
observations respecting the Greeks, Romans, Britons, and those other
nations, Saxons, Danes, and Normans, with whom the people of this nation
are more closely connected.

The Greeks probably derived something of their skill from the East,
(from the Lydians principally, whose cooks are much celebrated, [3]) and
something from Egypt. A few hints concerning Cookery may be collected
from Homer, Aristophanes, Aristotle, &c. but afterwards they possessed
many authors on the subject, as may be seen in Athenæus [4]. And as
Diætetics were esteemed a branch of the study of medicine, as also they
were afterwards [5], so many of those authors were Physicians; and the
Cook was undoubtedly a character of high reputation at Athens [6].

Page 7

As to the Romans; they would of course borrow much of their culinary
arts from the Greeks, though the Cook with them, we are told, was one of
the lowest of their slaves [7]. In the latter times, however, they had many
authors on the subject as well as the Greeks, and the practitioners were men
of some Science [8], but, unhappily for us, their compositions are all lost
except that which goes under the name of Apicius; concerning which work
and its author, the prevailing opinion now seems to be, that it was written
about the time of Heliogabalus [9], by one Cælius, (whether Aurelianus is
not so certain) and that Apicius is only the title of it [10]. However, the
compilation, though not in any great repute, has been several times
published by learned men.

The Aborigines of Britain, to come nearer home, could have no great
expertness in Cookery, as they had no oil, and we hear nothing of their
butter, they used only sheep and oxen, eating neither hares, though so
greatly esteemed at Rome, nor hens, nor geese, from a notion of
superstition. Nor did they eat fish. There was little corn in the interior part
of the island, but they lived on milk and flesh [11]; though it is expressly
asserted by Strabo that they had no cheese [12]. The later Britons, however,
well knew how to make the best use of the cow, since, as appears from the
laws of Hoel Dda, A.D. 943, this animal was a creature so essential, so
common and useful in Wales, as to be the standard in rating fines, &c. [13].

Hengist, leader of the Saxons, made grand entertainments for king
Vortigern [14], but no particulars have come down to us; and certainly little
exquisite can be expected from a people then so extremely barbarous as not
to be able either to read or write. 'Barbari homines a septentrione, (they are
the words of Dr. Lister) caseo et ferina subcruda victitantes, omnia
condimenta adjectiva respuerunt' [15].

Page 8

Some have fancied, that as the Danes imported the custom of hard and
deep drinking, so they likewise introduced the practice of gormandizing,
and that this word itself is derived from Gormund, the name of that Danish
king whom Ælfred the Great persuaded to be christened, and called
Æthelstane [16], Now 'tis certain that Hardicnut stands on record as an
egregious glutton [17], but he is not particularly famous for being a curious
Viander; 'tis true again, that the Danes in general indulged excessively in
feasts and entertainments [18], but we have no reason to imagine any
elegance of Cookery to have flourished amongst them. And though
Guthrum, the Danish prince, is in some authors named Gormundus [19]; yet
this is not the right etymology of our English word Gormandize, since it is
rather the French Gourmand, or the British Gormod [20]. So that we have
little to say as to the Danes.

I shall take the later English and the Normans together, on account of the
intermixture of the two nations after the Conquest, since, as lord Lyttelton
observes, the English accommodated them elves to the Norman manners,
except in point of temperance in eating and drinking, and communicated to
them their own habits of drunkenness and immoderate feasting [21].
Erasmus also remarks, that the English in his time were attached to plentiful
and splendid tables; and the same is observed by Harrison [22]. As to the
Normans, both William I. and Rufus made grand entertainments [23]; the
former was remarkable for an immense paunch, and withal was so exact, so
nice and curious in his repasts [24], that when his prime favourite William
Fitz- Osberne, who as steward of the household had the charge of the Cury,
served him with the flesh of a crane scarcely half-roasted, he was so highly
exasperated, that he lifted up his fist, and would have strucken him, had not
Eudo, appointed Dapiser immediately after, warded off the blow [25].

Dapiser, by which is usually understood steward of the king's household
[26], was a high officer amongst the Normans; and Larderarius was

Page 9

another, clergymen then often occupying this post, and sometimes made
bishops from it [27]. He was under the Dapiser, as was likewise the Cocus
Dominicæ Coquinæ, concerning whom, his assistants and allowances, the
Liber Niger may be consulted [28]. It appears further from Fleta, that the
chief cooks were often providers, as well as dressers, of victuals [29]. But
Magister Coquinæ, who was an esquire by office, seems to have had the
care of pourveyance, A.D. 1340 [30], and to have nearly corresponded with
our clerk of the kitchen, having authority over the cooks [31]. However, the
Magnus Coquus, Coquorum Præpositus, Coquus Regius, and Grans Queux,
were officers of considerable dignity in the palaces of princes; and the
officers under them, according to Du Fresne, were in the French court A.D.
1385, much about the time that our Roll was made, 'Queus, Aideurs,
Asteurs, Paiges, Souffleurs, Enfans, Saussiers de Commun, Saussiers
devers le Roy, Sommiers, Poulliers, Huissiers' [32].

In regard to religious houses, the Cooks of the greater foundations were
officers of consequence, though under the Cellarer [33], and if he were not
a monk, he nevertheless was to enjoy the portion of a monk [34]. But it
appears from Somner, that at Christ Church, Canterbury, the Lardyrer was
the first or chief cook [35]; and this officer, as we have seen, was often an
ecclesiastic. However, the great Houses had Cooks of different ranks [36];
and manors and churches [37] were often given ad cibum and ad victum
monachorum

[38]. A fishing at Lambeth was allotted to that purpose [39].

But whether the Cooks were Monks or not, the Magistri Coquinæ,
Kitcheners, of the monasteries, we may depend upon it, were always
monks; and I think they were mostly ecclesiastics elsewhere: thus when
Cardinal Otto, the Pope's legate, was at Oxford, A. 1238, and that
memorable fray happened between his retinue and the students, the

Page 10

Magister Coquorum was the Legate's brother, and was there killed [40]. The
reason given in the author, why a person so nearly allied to the Great Man
was assigned to the office, is this, 'Ne procuraretur aliquid venenorum, quod
nimis [i.e. valde] timebat legatus;' and it is certain that poisoning was but
too much in vogue in these times, both amongst the Italians and the good
people of this island [41]; so that this was a post of signal trust and
confidence. And indeed afterwards, a person was employed to taste, or take
the assaie, as it was called [42], both of the messes and the water in the
ewer [43], at great tables; but it may be doubted whether a particular person
was appointed to this service, or it was a branch of the Sewer's and cup-
bearer's duty, for I observe, the Sewer is sometimes called Prægustator
[44], and the cup-bearer tastes the water elsewhere [45]. The religious
houses, and their presidents, the abbots and priors, had their days of Gala,
as likewise their halls for strangers, whom, when persons of rank, they often
entertained with splendour and magnificence. And as for the secular clergy,
archbishops and bishops, their feasts, of which we have some upon record
[46], were so superb, that they might vie either with the regal
entertainments, or the pontifical suppers of ancient Rome (which became
even proverbial [47]), and certainly could not be dressed and set out without
a large number of Cooks [48]. In short, the satirists of the times before, and
about the time of, the Reformation, are continually inveighing against the
high-living of the bishops and clergy; indeed luxury was then carried to
such an extravagant pitch amongst them, that archbishop Cranmer, A. 1541,
found it necessary to bring the secular clergy under some reasonable
regulation in regard to the furnishing of their tables, not excepting even his
own [49].

After this historical deduction of the Ars coquinaria, which I have
endeavoured to make as short as possible, it is time to say something of the
Roll which is here given to the public, and the methods which the Editor
has pursued in bringing it to light.

Page 11

This vellum Roll contains 196 formulæ, or recipes, and belonged once to
the earl of Oxford [50]. The late James West esquire bought it at the Earl's
sale, when a part of his MSS were disposed of; and on the death of the
gentleman last mentioned it came into the hands of my highly-esteemed
friend, the present liberal and most communicative possessor. It is
presumed to be one of the most ancient remains of the kind now in being,
rising as high as the reign of king Richard II. [51]. However, it is far the
largest and most copious collection of any we have; I speak as to those
times. To establish its authenticity, and even to stamp an additional value
upon it, it is the identical Roll which was presented to queen Elizabeth, in
the 28th year of her reign, by lord Stafford's heir, as appears from the
following address, or inscription, at the end of it, in his own hand writing:

'Antiquum hoc monumentum oblatum et missum
est majestati vestræ vicesimo septimo die mensis
Julij, anno regni vestri fælicissimi vicesimo viij ab
humilimo vestro subdito, vestræq majestati fidelissimo
E. Stafford,
Hæres domus subversæ Buckinghamiens.' [52]

The general observations I have to make upon it are these: many articles,
it seems, were in vogue in the fourteenth century, which are now in a
manner obsolete, as cranes, curlews, herons, seals [53], porpoises, &c. and,
on the contrary, we feed on sundry fowls which are not named either in the
Roll, or the Editor's MS. [54] as quails, rails, teal, woodcocks, snipes, &c.
which can scarcely be numbered among the small birds mentioned 19. 62.
154. [55]. So as to fish, many species appear at our tables which are not
found in the Roll, trouts, flounders, herrings, &c. [56]. It were easy and
obvious to dilate here on the variations of taste at different periods of time,
and the reader would probably not dislike it; but so many other particulars
demand our attention, that I shall content myself with observing in general,

Page 12

that whereas a very able Italian critic, Latinus Latinius, passed a sinister
and unfavourable censure on certain seemingly strange medlies, disgusting
and preposterous messes, which we meet with in Apicius; Dr. Lister very
sensibly replies to his strictures on that head, 'That these messes are not
immediately to be rejected, because they may be displeasing to some.
Plutarch testifies, that the ancients disliked pepper and the sour juice of
lemons, insomuch that for a long time they only used these in their
wardrobes for the sake of their agreeable scent, and yet they are the most
wholesome of all fruits. The natives of the West Indies were no less averse
to salt; and who would believe that hops should ever have a place in our
common beverage [57], and that we should ever think of qualifying the
sweetness of malt, through good housewifry, by mixing with it a substance
so egregiously bitter? Most of the American fruits are exceedingly
odoriferous, and therefore are very disgusting at first to us Europeans: on
the contrary, our fruits appear insipid to them, for want of odour. There are
a thousand instances of things, would we recollect them all, which though
disagreeable to taste are commonly assumed into our viands; indeed,
custom alone reconciles and adopts sauces which are even nauseous to the
palate. Latinus Latinius therefore very rashly and absurdly blames Apicius,
on account of certain preparations which to him, forsooth, were
disrelishing.' [58] In short it is a known maxim, that de gustibus non est
disputandum;

And so Horace to the same purpose:

'Tres mihi convivæ prope dissentire videntur,
Poscentes vario multum diversa palato.
Quid dem? quid non dem? renuis tu quod jubet alter.
Quod petis, id sane est invisum acidumque duobus.'
Hor. II. Epist. ii.

Page 13

And our Roll sufficiently verifies the old observation of
Martial—ingeniosa gula est.

[Addenda: after ingeniosa gula est, add, 'The Italians now eat many
things which we think perfect carrion. Ray, Trav. p. 362. 406. The French
eat frogs and snails. The Tartars feast on horse-flesh, the Chinese on dogs,
and meer Savages eat every thing. Goldsmith, Hist. of the Earth, &c. II. p.
347, 348. 395. III. p. 297. IV. p. 112. 121, &c.']

Our Cooks again had great regard to the eye, as well as the taste, in their
compositions; flourishing and strewing are not only common, but even
leaves of trees gilded, or silvered, are used for ornamenting messes, see No.
175 [59]. As to colours, which perhaps would chiefly take place in
suttleties, blood boiled and fried (which seems to be something singular)
was used for dying black, 13. 141. saffron for yellow, and sanders for red
[60]. Alkenet is also used for colouring [61], and mulberries [62]; amydon
makes white, 68; and turnesole [63] pownas there, but what this colour is
the Editor professes not to know, unless it be intended for another kind of
yellow, and we should read jownas, for jaulnas, orange-tawney. It was for
the purpose of gratifying the sight that sotiltees were introduced at the more
solemn feasts. Rabelais has comfits of an hundred colours.

Cury, as was remarked above, was ever reckoned a branch of the Art
Medical; and here I add, that the verb curare signifies equally to dress
victuals [64], as to cure a distemper; that every body has heard of Doctor
Diet, kitchen physick, &c. while a numerous band of medical authors have
written de cibis et alimentis, and have always classed diet among the non-
naturals; so they call them, but with what propriety they best know. Hence
Junius '[Greek: Diaita] Græcis est victus, ac speciatim certa victus ratio,
qualis a Medicis ad tuendam valetudinem præscribitur [65].' Our Cooks
expressly tell us, in their proem, that their work was compiled 'by assent

Page 14

and avysement of maisters of phisik and of philosophie that dwellid in his
[the King's] court' where physik is used in the sense of medecine, physicus
being applied to persons prosessing the Art of Healing long before the 14th
century [66], as implying such knowledge and skill in all kinds of natural
substances, constituting the materia medica, as was necessiary for them in
practice. At the end of the Editor's MS. is written this rhyme,

Explicit coquina que est optima medicina [67].

There is much relative to eatables in the Schola Salernitana; and we find
it ordered, that a physcian should over-see the young prince's wet-nurse at
every meal, to inspect her meat and drink [68].

But after all the avysement of physicians and philosophers, our processes
do not appear by any means to be well calculated for the benefit of
recipients, but rather inimical to them. Many of them are so highly
seasoned, are such strange and heterogeneous compositions, meer olios and
gallimawfreys, that they seem removed as far as possible from the intention
of contributing to health; indeed the messes are so redundant and complex,
that in regard to herbs, in No. 6, no less than ten are used, where we should
now be content with two or three: and so the sallad, No. 76, consists of no
less than 14 ingredients. The physicians appear only to have taken care that
nothing directly noxious was suffered to enter the forms. However, in the
Editor's MS. No. 11, there is a prescription for making a colys, I presume a
cullis, or Invigorating broth; for which see Dodsley's Old Plays, vol. II. 124.
vol. V. 148. vol. VI. 355. and the several plays mentioned in a note to the
first mentioned passage in the Edit. 1780 [69].

I observe further, in regard to this point, that the quantities of things are
seldom specified [70], but are too much left to the taste and judgement of
the cook, if he should happen to be rash and inconsiderate, or of a bad and

Page 15

undistinguishing taste, was capable of doing much harm to the guests, to
invalids especially.

Though the cooks at Rome, as has been already noted, were amongst the
lowest slaves, yet it was not so more anciently; Sarah and Rebecca cook,
and so do Patroclus and Automedon in the ninth Iliad. It were to be wished
indeed, that the Reader could be made acquainted with the names of our
master-cooks, but it is not in the power of the Editor to gratify him in that;
this, however, he may be assured of, that as the Art was of consequence in
the reign of Richard, a prince renowned and celebrated in the Roll [71], for
the splendor and elegance of his table, they must have been persons of no
inconsiderable rank: the king's first and second cooks are now esquires by
their office, and there is all the reason in the world to believe they were of
equal dignity heretofore [72]. To say a word of king Richard: he is said in
the proeme to have been 'acounted the best and ryallest vyaund [curioso in
eating] of all esten kynges.' This, however, must rest upon the testimony of
our cooks, since it does not appear otherwise by the suffrage of history, that
he was particularly remarkable for his niceness and delicacy in eating, like
Heliogabalus, whose favourite dishes are said to have been the tongues of
peacocks and nightingales, and the brains of parrots and pheasants [73]; or
like Sept. Geta, who, according to Jul. Capitolinus [74], was so curious, so
whimsical, as to order the dishes at his dinners to consist of things which all
began with the same letters. Sardanapalus again as we have it in Athenæus
[75], gave a præmium to any one that invented and served him with some
novel cate; and Sergius Orata built a house at the entrance of the Lucrine
lake, purposely for the pleasure and convenience of eating the oysters
perfectly fresh. Richard II is certainly not represented in story as resembling
any such epicures, or capriccioso's, as these [76]. It may, however, be fairly
presumed, that good living was not wanting among the luxuries of that
effeminate and dissipated reign.

Page 16

[Addenda: after ninth Iliad, add, 'And Dr. Shaw writes, p. 301, that even
now in the East, the greatest prince is not ashamed to fetch a lamb from his
herd and kill it, whilst the princess is impatient till she hath prepared her
fire and her kettle to dress it.']

[Addenda: after heretofore add, 'we have some good families in England
of the name of Cook or Coke. I know not what they may think; but we may
depend upon it, they all originally sprang from real and professional cooks;
and they need not be ashamed of their extraction, any more than the Butlers,
Parkers, Spencers, &c.']

My next observation is, that the messes both in the roll and the Editor's
MS, are chiefly soups, potages, ragouts, hashes, and the like hotche-
potches; entire joints of meat being never served, and animals, whether fish
or fowl, seldom brought to table whole, but hacked and hewed, and cut in
pieces or gobbets [77]; the mortar also was in great request, some messes
being actually denominated from it, as mortrews, or morterelys as in the
Editor's MS. Now in this state of things, the general mode of eating must
either have been with the spoon or the fingers; and this perhaps may have
been the reason that spoons became an usual present from gossips to their
god-children at christenings [78]; and that the bason and ewer, for washing
before and after dinner, was introduced, whence the ewerer was a great
officer [79], and the ewery is retained at Court to this day [80]; we meet
with damaske water after dinner [81], I presume, perfumed; and the words
ewer &c. plainly come from the Saxon eþe or French eau, water.

Thus, to return, in that little anecdote relative to the Conqueror and
William Fitz-Osbern, mentioned above, not the crane, but the flesh of the
crane is said to have been under-roasted. Table, or case-knives, would be of
little use at this time [82], and the art of carving so perfectly useless, as to
be almost unknown. In about a century afterwards, however, as appears

Page 17

from archbishop Neville's entertainment, many articles were served whole,
and lord Wylloughby was the carver [83]. So that carving began now to be
practised, and the proper terms devised. Wynken de Worde printed a Book
of Kervinge, A. 1508, wherein the said terms are registered [84]. 'The use of
forks at table, says Dr. Percy, did not prevail in England land till the reign of
James I. as we learn from a remarkable passage in Coryat [85]'; the passage
is indeed curious, but too long to be here transcribed, where brevity is so
much in view; wherefore I shall only add, that forks are not now used in
some parts of Spain [86]. But then it may be said, what becomes of the old
English hospitaliy in this case, the roast-beef of Old England, so much
talked of? I answer, these bulky and magnificent dishes must have been the
product of later reigns, perhaps of queen Elizabeth's time, since it is plain
that in the days of Rich. II. our ancestors lived much after the French
fashion. As to hospitality, the households of our Nobles were immense,
officers, retainers, and servants, being entertained almost without number;
but then, as appears from the Northumberland Book, and afterwards from
the household establisliment of the prince of Wales, A. 1610, the
individuals, or at least small parties, had their quantum, or ordinary, served
out, where any good oeconomy was kept, apart to themselves [87]. Again,
we find in our Roll, that great quantities of the respective viands of the
hashes, were often made at once, as No. 17, Take hennes or conynges. 24,
Take hares. 29, Take pygges. And 31, Take gees, &c. So that hospitality and
plentiful housekeeping could just as well be maintained this way, as by the
other of cumbrous unwieldy messes, as much as a man could carry.

As the messes and sauces are so complex, and the ingredients
consequently so various, it seems necessary that a word should be spoken
concerning the principal of them, and such as are more frequently
employed, before we pass to our method of proceeding in the publication.

Page 18

Butter is little used. 'Tis first mentioned No. 81, and occurs but rarely
after [88]; 'tis found but once in the Editor's MS, where it is written boter.
The usual substitutes for it are oil-olive and lard; the latter is frequently
called grees, or grece, or whitegrece, as No. 18. 193. Capons in Grease
occur in Birch's Life of Henry prince of Wales, p. 459, 460. and see Lye in
Jun. Etym. v. Greasie. Bishop Patrick has a remarkable passage concerning
this article: 'Though we read of cheese in Homer, Euripides, Theocritus,
and others, yet they never mention butter: nor hath Aristotle a word of it,
though he hath sundry observations about cheese; for butter was not a thing
then known among the Greeks; though we see by this and many other
places, it was an ancient food among the eastern people [89].' The Greeks, I
presume, used oil instead of it, and butter in some places of scripture is
thought to mean only cream. [90]

Cheese. See the last article, and what is said of the old Britons above; as
likewise our Glossary.

Ale is applied, No. 113, et alibi; and often in the Editor's MS. as 6, 7, &c.
It is used instead of wine, No. 22, and sometimes along with bread in the
Editor's MS. [91] Indeed it is a current opinion that brewing with hops was
not introduced here till the reign of king Henry VIII. [92] Bere, however, is
mentioned A. 1504. [93]

Wine is common, both red, and white, No. 21. 53. 37. This article they
partly had of their own growth, [94] and partly by importation from France
[95] and Greece [96]. They had also Rhenish [97], and probably several
other sorts. The vynegreke is among the sweet wines in a MS of Mr. Astle.

Rice. As this grain was but little, if at all, cultivated in England, it must
have been brought from abroad. Whole or ground-rice enters into a large
number of our compositions, and resmolle, No. 96, is a direct preparation of
it.

Page 19

Alkenet. Anchusa is not only used for colouring, but also fried and
yfoundred, 62. yfondyt, 162. i. e. dissolved, or ground. 'Tis thought to be a
species of the buglos.

Saffron. Saffrwm, Brit. whence it appears, that this name ran through
most languages. Mr. Weever informs us, that this excellent drug was
brought hither in the time of Edward III. [98] and it may be true; but still no
such quantity could be produced here in the next reign as to supply that
very large consumption which we see made of it in our Roll, where it
occurs not only as an ingredient in the processes, but also is used for
colouring, for flourishing, or garnishing. It makes a yellow, No. 68, and was
imported from Egypt, or Cilicia, or other parts of the Levant, where the
Turks call it Safran, from the Arabic Zapheran, whence the English,
Italians, French, and Germans, have apparently borrowed their respective
names of it. The Romans were well acquainted with the drug, but did not
use it much in the kitchen [99]. Pere Calmet says, the Hebrews were
acquainted with anise, ginger, saffron, but no other spices [100].

Pynes. There is some difficulty in enucleating the meaning of this word,
though it occurs so often. It is joined with dates, No. 20. 52. with honey
clarified, 63. with powder-fort, saffron, and salt, 161. with ground dates,
raisins, good powder, and salt, 186. and lastly they are fried, 38. Now the
dish here is morree, which in the Editor's MS. 37, is made of mulberries
(and no doubt has its name from them), and yet there are no mulberries in
our dish, but pynes, and therefore I suspect, that mulberries and pynes are
the same, and indeed this fruit has some resemblance to a pynecone. I
conceive pynnonade, the dish, No. 51, to be so named from the pynes
therein employed; and quære whether pyner mentioned along with powder-
fort, saffron, and salt, No. 155, as above in No. 161, should not be read
pynes. But, after all, we have cones brought hither from Italy full of nuts, or

Page 20

kernels, which upon roasting come out of their capsulæ, and are much eaten
by the common people, and these perhaps may be the thing intended.

[Addenda: after intended. add, 'See Ray, Trav. p. 283. 407. and Wright's
Trav. p. 112.']

Honey was the great and universal sweetner in remote antiquity, and
particularly in this island, where it was the chief constituent of mead and
metheglin. It is said, that at this day in Palestine they use honey in the
greatest part of their ragouts [101]. Our cooks had a method of clarifying it,
No. 18. 41. which was done by putting it in a pot with whites of eggs and
water, beating them well together; then setting it over the fire, and boiling
it; and when it was ready to boil over to take it and cool it, No. 59. This I
presume is called clere honey, No. 151. And, when honey was so much in
use, it appears from Barnes that refining it was a trade of itself [102].

Sugar, or Sugur [103], was now beginning here to take place of honey;
however, they are used together, No. 67. Sugar came from the Indies, by
way of Damascus and Aleppo, to Venice, Genoa, and Pisa, and from these
last places to us [104]. It is here not only frequently used, but was of
various sorts, as cypre, No. 41. 99. 120. named probably from the isle of
Cyprus, whence it might either come directly to us, or where it had received
some improvement by way of refining. There is mention of blanch-powder
or white sugar, 132. They, however, were not the same, for see No. 193.
Sugar was clarified sometimes with wine [105].

Spices. Species. They are mentioned in general No. 133, and whole
spices, 167, 168. but they are more commonly specified, and are indeed
greatly used, though being imported from abroad, and from so far as Italy or
the Levant (and even there must be dear), some may wonder at this: but it
shouid be considered, that our Roll was chiefly compiled for the use of
noble and princely tables; and the same may be said of the Editor's MS. The

Page 21

spices came from the same part of the world, and by the same route, as
sugar did. The spicery was an ancient department at court, and had its
proper officers.

As to the particular sorts, these are,

Cinamon. Canell. 14. 191. Canel, Editor's MS. 10. Kanell, ibid. 32. is the
Italian Canella. See Chaucer. We have the flour or powder, No. 20. 62. See
Wiclif. It is not once mentioned in Apicius.

Macys, 14. 121. Editor's MS. 10. Maces, 134. Editor's MS. 27. They are
used whole, No. 158. and are always expressed plurally, though we now use
the singular, mace. See Junii Etym.

Cloves. No. 20. Dishes are flourished with them, 22. 158. Editor's MS.
10. 27. where we have clowys gylofres, as in our Roll, No. 104. Powdour
gylofre occurs 65. 191. Chaucer has clowe in the singular, and see him v.
Clove-gelofer.

Galyngal, 30. and elsewhere. Galangal, the long rooted cyperus [106], is
a warm cardiac and cephalic. It is used in powder, 30. 47. and was the chief
ingredient in galentine, which, I think, took its name from it.

Pepper. It appears from Pliny that this pungent, warm seasoning, so much
in esteem at Rome [107], came from the East Indies [108], and, as we may
suppose, by way of Alexandria. We obtained it no doubt, in the 14th
century, from the same quarter, though not exactly by the same route, but by
Venice or Genoa. It is used both whole, No. 35, and in powder, No. 83. And
long-pepper occurs, if we read the place rightly, in No. 191.

Ginger, gyngyn. 64. 136. alibi. Powder is used, 17. 20. alibi. and Rabelais
IV. c. 59. the white powder, 131. and it is the name of a mess, 139. quære

Page 22

whether gyngyn is not misread for gyngyr, for see Junii Etym. The Romans
had their ginger from Troglodytica [109].

Cubebs, 64. 121. are a warm spicy grain from the east.

Grains of Paradice, or de parys, 137. [110] are the greater cardamoms.

Noix muscadez, 191. nutmegs.

The caraway is once mentioned, No. 53. and was an exotic from Caria,
whence, according to Mr. Lye, it took its name: 'sunt semina, inquit, carri
vel carrei, sic dicti a Caria, ubi copiosissimè nascitur [111].'

Powder-douce, which occurs so often, has been thought by some, who
have just peeped into our Roll, to be the same as sugar, and only a different
name for it; but they are plainly mistaken, as is evident from 47. 51. 164.
165. where they are mentioned together as different things. In short, I take
powder-douce to be either powder of galyngal, for see Editor's MS II. 20.
24, or a compound made of sundry aromatic spices ground or beaten small,
and kept always ready at hand in some proper receptacle. It is otherwise
termed good powders, 83. 130. and in Editor's MS 17. 37. 38 [112]. or
powder simply, No. 169, 170. White powder-douce occurs No. 51, which
seems to be the same as blanch-powder, 132. 193. called blaynshe powder,
and bought ready prepared, in Northumb. Book, p. 19. It is sometimes used
with powder-fort, 38. 156. for which see the next and last article.

Powder-fort, 10. 11. seems to be a mixture likewise of the warmer spices,
pepper, ginger, &c. pulverized: hence we have powder-fort of gynger, other
of canel, 14. It is called strong powder, 22. and perhaps may sometimes be
intended by good powders. If you will suppose it to be kept ready prepared
by the vender, it may be the powder-marchant, 113. 118. found joined in
two places with powder- douce. This Speght says is what gingerbread is

Page 23

made of; but Skinner disapproves this explanation, yet, says Mr. Urry, gives
none of his own.

After thus travelling through the most material and most used
ingredients, the spykenard de spayn occurring only once, I shall beg leave
to offer a few words on the nature, and in favour of the present publication,
and the method employed in the prosecution of it.

[Illustration: Take þe chese and of flessh of capouns, or of hennes &
hakke smal and grynde hem smale inn a morter, take mylke of almandes

The common language of the formulæ, though old and obsolete, as
naturally may be expected from the age of the MS, has no other difficulty in
it but what may easily be overcome by a small degree of practice and
application [113]: however, for the further illustration of this matter, and the
satisfaction of the curious, a fac simile of one of the recipes is represented
in the annexed plate. If here and there a hard and uncouth term or
expression may occur, so as to stop or embarrass the less expert, pains have
been taken to explain them, either in the annotations under the text, or in the
Index and Glossary, for we have given it both titles, as intending it should
answer the purpose of both [114]. Now in forming this alphabet, as it would
have been an endless thing to have recourse to all our glossaries, now so
numerous, we have confined ourselves, except perhaps in some few
instances, in which the authorities are always mentioned, to certain
contemporary writers, such as the Editor's MS, of which we shall speak

Page 24

more particularly hereafter, Chaucer, and Wiclif; with whom we have
associated Junius' Etymologicon Anglicanum.

As the abbreviations of the Roll are here retained, in order to establish
and confirm the age of it, it has been thought proper to adopt the types
which our printer had projected for Domesday-Book, with which we find
that our characters very nearly coincide.

The names of the dishes and sauces have occasioned the greatest
perplexity. These are not only many in number, but are often so horrid and
barbarous, to our ears at least, as to be inveloped in several instances in
almost impenetrable obscurity. Bishop Godwin complains of this so long
ago as 1616 [115]. The Contents prefixed will exhibit at once a most
formidable list of these hideous names and titles, so that there is no need to
report them here. A few of these terms the Editor humbly hopes he has
happily enucleated, but still, notwithstanding all his labour and pains, the
argument is in itself so abstruse at this distance of time, the helps so few,
and his abilities in this line of knowledge and science so slender and
confined, that he fears he has left the far greater part of the task for the more
sagacious reader to supply: indeed, he has not the least doubt, but other
gentlemen of curiosity in such matters (and this publication is intended for
them alone) will be so happy as to clear up several difficulties, which
appear now to him insuperable. It must be confessed again, thatthe Editor
may probably have often failed in those very points, which he fancies and
flatters himself to have elucidated, but this he is willing to leave to the
candour of the public.

Now in regard to the helps I mentioned; there is not much to be learnt
from the Great Inthronization-feast of archbishop Robert Winchelsea, A.
1295, even if it were his; but I rather think it belongs to archbishop William
Warham, A. 1504 [116]. Some use, however, has been made of it.

Page 25

Ralph Bourne was installed abbot of St. Augustine's, near Canterbury, A.
1309; and William Thorne has inserted a list of provisions bought for the
feast, with their prices, in his Chronicle [117].

The Great Feast at the Inthronization of George Nevile archbishop of
York, 6 Edward IV. is printed by Mr. Hearne [118], and has been of good
service.

Elizabeth, queen of king Henry VII. was crowned A. 1487, and the
messes at the dinner, in two courses, are registered in the late edition of
Leland's Collectenea, A. 1770 [119], and we have profited thereby.

The Lenten Inthronization-feast of archbishop William Warham, A. 1504
[120], given us at large by Mr. Hearne [121], has been also consulted.

There is a large catalogue of viands in Rabelais, lib. iv. cap. 59. 60. And
the English translation of Mr. Ozell affording little information, I had
recourse to the French original, but not to much more advantage.

There is also a Royal Feast at the wedding of the earl of Devonshire, in
the Harleian Misc. No. 279, and it has not been neglected.

Randle Holme, in his multifarious Academy of Armory, has an alphabet
of terms and dishes [122]; but though I have pressed him into the service,
he has not contributed much as to the more difficult points.

The Antiquarian Repertory, vol. II. p. 211, exhibits an entertainment of
the mayor of Rochester, A. 1460; but there is little to be learned from
thence. The present work was printed before No. 31 of the Antiquarian
Repertory, wherein some ancient recipes in Cookery are published, came to
the Editor's hand.

Page 26

I must not omit my acknowledgments to my learned friend the present
dean of Carlisle, to whom I stand indebted for his useful notes on the
Northumberland-Household Book, as also for the book itself.

Our chief assistance, however, has been drawn from a MS belonging to
the Editor, denoted, when cited, by the signature MS. Ed. It is a vellum
miscellany in small quarto, and the part respecting this subject consists of
ninety-one English recipes (or nyms) in cookery. These are disposed into
two parts, and are intituled, 'Hic incipiunt universa servicia tam de carnibus
quam de pissibus.' [123] The second part, relates to the dressing of fish, and
other lenten fare, though forms are also there intermixed which properly
belong to flesh-days. This leads me to observe, that both here, and in the
Roll, messes are sometimes accommodated, by making the necessary
alterations, both to flesh and fish-days. [124] Now, though the subjects of
the MS are various, yet the hand-writing is uniform; and at the end of one
of the tracts is added, 'Explicit massa Compoti, Anno Dñi M'lo CCC'mo
octogesimo primo ipso die Felicis et Audacti.' [125], i.e. 30 Aug. 1381, in
the reign of Rich. II. The language and orthography accord perfectly well
with this date, and the collection is consequently contemporary with our
Roll, and was made chiefly, though not altogether, for the use of great
tables, as appears from the sturgeon, and the great quantity of venison
therein prescribed for.

As this MS is so often referred to in the annotations, glossary, and even
in this preface, and is a compilation of the same date, on the same subject,
and in the same language, it has been thought adviseable to print it, and
subjoin it to the Roll; and the rather, because it really furnishes a
considerable enlargement on the subject, and exhibits many forms
unnoticed in the Roll.

Page 27

To conclude this tedious preliminary detail, though unquestionably a
most necessary part of his duty, the Editor can scarcely forbear laughing at
himself, when he reflects on his past labours, and recollects those lines of
the poet Martial;

Turpe est difficiles habere nugas,
Et stultus labor est ineptiarum. II. 86.

and that possibly mesdames Carter and Raffald, with twenty others,
might have far better acquitted themselves in the administration of this
province, than he has done. He has this comfort and satisfaction, however,
that he has done his best; and that some considerable names amongst the
learned, Humelbergius, Torinus, Barthius, our countryman Dr. Lister,
Almeloveen, and others, have bestowed no less pains in illustrating an
author on the same subject, and scarcely of more importance, the Pseudo-
Apicius.

[1] If, according to Petavius and Le Clerc, the world was created in
autumn, when the fruits of the earth were both plentiful and in the highest
perfection, the first man had little occasion for much culinary knowledge;
roasting or boiling the cruder productions, with modes of preserving those
which were better ripened, seem to be all that was necessary for him in the
way of Cury, And even after he was displaced from Paradise, I conceive, as
many others do, he was not permitted the use of animal food [Gen. i. 29.];
but that this was indulged to us, by an enlargement of our charter, after the
Flood, Gen. ix, 3. But, without wading any further in the argument here, the
reader is referred to Gen. ii. 8. seq. iii. 17, seq. 23.

[Addenda: add 'vi. 22. where Noah and the beasts are to live on the same
food.'] [2] Genesis xviii. xxvii. Though their best repasts, from the
politeness of the times, were called by the simple names of Bread, or a
Morsel of bread, yet they were not unacquainted with modes of dressing

INDEX AND GLOSSARY TO MR. BRANDER'S
ROLL OF COOKERY.

The Numbers relate to the order of the Recipes.

N.B. Many words are now written as one, which formerly were divided,
as al so, up on, &c. Of these little notice is taken in the Index, but I mention
it here once for all.

Our orthography was very fluctuating and uncertain at this time, as
appears from the different modes of spelling the same words, v. To gedre; v.
wayshe; v. ynowkz; v. chargeant; v. coraunte; &c.

Almandes. 17. very variously written at this time, Almaunde, Almandys,
Almaundys, Almondes, all which occur in MS. Ed. and mean Almond or
Almonds.

Almaund mylke. 9. Almonds blanched and drawn thickish with good
broth or water, No. 51. is called thyk mylke, 52. and is called after
Almaunde mylke, first and second milk, 116. Almaunds unblaunched,
ground, and drawn with good broth, is called mylke, 62. Cow's milk was
sometimes used instead of it, as MS. Ed. I. 13. Creme of Almands how
made, 85. Of it, Lel. Coll. VI. p. 17. We hear elsewhere of Almond-butter, v.

Blank Desire. 193, 194. bis. Lel. Coll. VI. p. 5. In No. 193, we meet with
Blank desne, but the Contents has Desire, which is right, as appears from
the sequel. In MS. Ed. 29. it is Blank-Surry, and Sury, and Sure, and de Sur.
II. 19. de Syry, 31. and here No. 37, it is Dessorre. and we have Samon in
Sorry. Lel. Coll. VI. p. 17. Perches, ibid. Eels p. 28. 30. where it is a Potage.
whence I conceive it either means de Surrey, i. e. Syria, v. Chaucer. v.

Page 144

Brawn of Capons. 20. 84. Flesh. Braun. MS. Ed. 29. v. Chaucer, we now
say, brawn of the arm, meaning the flesh. Hence brawn-fall'n. Old Plays,
XI. p. 85. Lylie's Euphues, p. 94. 142. Chaucer. Brawn is now appropriated
to these rolls which are made of Brawn or Boar, but it was not so anciently,
since in No. 32 we have Brawn of Swyne, which shews the word was
common to other kinds of flesh as well as that of the Boar; and therefore I
cannot agree with Dr. Wallis in deducing Brawn from Aprugna.

Blank maunger. 36. 192. Chaucer writes Blank manger. Blomanger. MS.

Q.

Quare. 5. It seems to mean to quarter, or to square, to cut to pieces however,
and may be the same as to dyce. 10. 60. Dice at this time were very small: a
large parcel of them were found under the floor of the hall of one of the
Temples, about 1764, and were so minute as to have dropt at times through
the chinks or joints of the boards. There were near 100 pair of ivory, scarce
more than two thirds as large as our modern ones. The hall was built in the
reign of Elizabeth. To quare is from the Fr. quarrer; and quayre or quaire,
subst. in Chaucer, Skelton, p. 91. 103. is a book or pamphlet, from the paper
being in the quarto form. See Annal. Dunstap. p. 215, Ames, Typ. Antiq. p.
3. 9. Hence our quire of paper. The later French wrote cahier, cayer, for I
presume this may be the same word. Hence, kerve hem to dyce, into small
squares, 12. Dysis, MS. Ed. 15.

Lel. Coll. IV. p. 227. VI. p. 23. Bishop Godwin renders it Vinum
aromaticum. It was brought both at beginning of splendid entertainments, if
Apicius is to be underslood of it. Lib. I. c. 1. See Lister, ad loc. and in the
middle before the second course; Lel. Coll. IV. p. 227. and at the end. It was
in use at St. John's Coll. Cambr. 50 years ago, and brought in at Christmas
at the close of dinner, as anciently most usually it was. It took its name from
Hippocrates' sleeve, the bag or strainer, through which it was passed.
Skinner, v. Claret; and Chaucer. or as Junius suggests, because strained
juxta doctrinam Hippocratis. The Italians call it hipocrasso. It seems not to
have differed much from Piment, or Pigment (for which see Chaucer) a rich
spiced wine which was sold by Vintners about 1250. Mr. Topham's MS.
Hippocras was both white and red. Rabelais, IV. c. 59. and I find it used for
sauce to lampreys. Ibid. c. 60.

There is the process at large for making ypocrasse in a MS. of my
respectable Friend Thomas Astle, esq. p. 2. which we have thought proper
to transcribe, as follows:

'To make Ypocrasse for lords with gynger, synamon, and graynes sugour,
and turefoll: and for comyn pepull gynger canell, longe peper, and
claryffyed hony. Loke ye have feyre pewter basens to kepe in your pouders
and your ypocrasse to ren ynne. and to vi basens ye muste have vi renners
on a perche as ye may here see. and loke your poudurs and your gynger be
redy and well paryd or hit be beton in to poudr. Gynger colombyne is the

Page 194

best gynger, mayken and balandyne be not so good nor holsom…. now thou
knowist the propertees of Ypocras. Your poudurs must be made everyche by
themselfe, and leid in a bledder in store, hange sure your perche with baggs,
and that no bagge twoyche other, but basen twoyche basen. The fyrst bagge
of a galon, every on of the other a potell. Fyrst do in to a basen a galon or ij
of redwyne, then put in your pouders, and do it in to the renners, and so in
to the seconde bagge, then take a pece and assay it. And yef hit be eny
thyng to stronge of gynger alay it withe synamon, and yef it be strong of
synamon alay it withe sugour cute. And thus schall ye make perfyte
Ypocras. And loke your bagges be of boltell clothe, and the mouthes opyn,
and let it ren in v or vi bagges on a perche, and under every bagge a clene
basen. The draftes of the spies is good for sewies. Put your Ypocrase in to a
stanche wessell, and bynde opon the mouthe a bleddur strongly, then serve
forthe waffers and Ypocrasse.'

Since the foregoing sheets were printed off, the following very curious
Rolls have happily fallen into the Editor's hand, by the favour of John
Charles Brooke, Esq. Somerset Herald. They are extracted from a MS.
belonging to the family of Nevile of Chevet, near Wakefield, com. Ebor.
and thence copied, under the direction of the Rev. Richard Kay, D.D.
Prebendary of Durham.

These Rolls are so intimately connected with our subject, as exhibiting
the dishes of which our Roll of Cury teaches dressing and preparation, that
they must necessarily be deemed a proper appendix to it. They are
moreover amusing, if not useful, in another respect; viz. as exhibiting the
gradual prices of provisions, from the dates of our more ancient lists, and
the time when these Rolls were composed, in the reign of Henry VIII. For
the further illustration of this subject, and extract from the old Account-
Book of Luton, 19 Hen. VIII is super-added; where the prices of things in
the South, at the same period, may be seen. And whoever pleases to go
further into this matter of prices, may compare them with the particulars
and expence of a dinner at Stationer's-Hall, A.D. 1556. which appeared in
the St. James's Chronicle of April 22, 1780.

We cannot help thinking that, upon all accounts, the additions here
presented to our friends must needs prove exceedingly acceptable to them.

renamed.

Creating the works from print editions not protected by U.S. copyright law
means that no one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the
Foundation (and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States
without permission and without paying copyright royalties. Special rules,
set forth in the General Terms of Use part of this license, apply to copying
and distributing Project Gutenberg™ electronic works to protect the
PROJECT GUTENBERG™ concept and trademark. Project Gutenberg is a
registered trademark, and may not be used if you charge for an eBook,
except by following the terms of the trademark license, including paying
royalties for use of the Project Gutenberg trademark. If you do not charge
anything for copies of this eBook, complying with the trademark license is
very easy. You may use this eBook for nearly any purpose such as creation
of derivative works, reports, performances and research. Project Gutenberg
eBooks may be modified and printed and given away—you may do
practically ANYTHING in the United States with eBooks not protected by
U.S. copyright law. Redistribution is subject to the trademark license,
especially commercial redistribution.

other work associated in any way with the phrase “Project Gutenberg”), you
agree to comply with all the terms of the Full Project Gutenberg License
available with this file or online at www.gutenberg.org/license.

Section 1. General Terms of Use and Redistributing
Project Gutenberg electronic works

1.A. By reading or using any part of this Project Gutenberg electronic work,
you indicate that you have read, understand, agree to and accept all the
terms of this license and intellectual property (trademark/copyright)
agreement. If you do not agree to abide by all the terms of this agreement,
you must cease using and return or destroy all copies of Project Gutenberg
electronic works in your possession. If you paid a fee for obtaining a copy
of or access to a Project Gutenberg electronic work and you do not agree to
be bound by the terms of this agreement, you may obtain a refund from the
person or entity to whom you paid the fee as set forth in paragraph 1.E.8.

1.B. “Project Gutenberg” is a registered trademark. It may only be used on
or associated in any way with an electronic work by people who agree to be
bound by the terms of this agreement. There are a few things that you can
do with most Project Gutenberg electronic works even without complying
with the full terms of this agreement. See paragraph 1.C below. There are a
lot of things you can do with Project Gutenberg electronic works if you
follow the terms of this agreement and help preserve free future access to
Project Gutenberg electronic works. See paragraph 1.E below.

1.C. The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation (“the Foundation”
or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection of Project
Gutenberg electronic works. Nearly all the individual works in the

work is unprotected by copyright law in the United States and you are

Page 217

located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from
copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative works
based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg are
removed. Of course, we hope that you will support the Project Gutenberg
mission of promoting free access to electronic works by freely sharing
Project Gutenberg works in compliance with the terms of this agreement for
keeping the Project Gutenberg name associated with the work. You can
easily comply with the terms of this agreement by keeping this work in the
same format with its attached full Project Gutenberg License when you
share it without charge with others.

1.D. The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
what you can do with this work. Copyright laws in most countries are in a
constant state of change. If you are outside the United States, check the
laws of your country in addition to the terms of this agreement before
downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or creating
derivative works based on this work or any other Project Gutenberg work.
The Foundation makes no representations concerning the copyright status
of any work in any country other than the United States.

1.E. Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg:

1.E.1. The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate
access to, the full Project Gutenberg License must appear prominently
whenever any copy of a Project Gutenberg work (any work on which the
phrase “Project Gutenberg” appears, or with which the phrase “Project
Gutenberg” is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed, copied
or distributed:

This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere in the United States
and most other parts of the world at no cost and with almost no
restrictions whatsoever. You may copy it, give it away or re-use it

1.E.2. If an individual Project Gutenberg electronic work is derived from
texts not protected by U.S. copyright law (does not contain a notice
indicating that it is posted with permission of the copyright holder), the
work can be copied and distributed to anyone in the United States without
paying any fees or charges. If you are redistributing or providing access to a
work with the phrase “Project Gutenberg” associated with or appearing on
the work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs
1.E.1 through 1.E.7 or obtain permission for the use of the work and the
Project Gutenberg trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.

1.E.3. If an individual Project Gutenberg electronic work is posted with the
permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution must comply
with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any additional terms imposed
by the copyright holder. Additional terms will be linked to the Project
Gutenberg License for all works posted with the permission of the
copyright holder found at the beginning of this work.

1.E.4. Do not unlink or detach or remove the full Project Gutenberg License
terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this work or any
other work associated with Project Gutenberg.

1.E.5. Do not copy, display, perform, distribute or redistribute this
electronic work, or any part of this electronic work, without prominently
displaying the sentence set forth in paragraph 1.E.1 with active links or
immediate access to the full terms of the Project Gutenberg License.

1.E.6. You may convert to and distribute this work in any binary,
compressed, marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including any
word processing or hypertext form. However, if you provide access to or
distribute copies of a Project Gutenberg work in a format other than “Plain
Vanilla ASCII” or other format used in the official version posted on the
official Project Gutenberg website (www.gutenberg.org), you must, at no
additional cost, fee or expense to the user, provide a copy, a means of
exporting a copy, or a means of obtaining a copy upon request, of the work

copying or distributing any Project Gutenberg works unless you comply
with paragraph 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.

1.E.8. You may charge a reasonable fee for copies of or providing access to
or distributing Project Gutenberg electronic works provided that:

• You pay a royalty fee of 20% of the gross profits you derive from the
use of Project Gutenberg works calculated using the method you
already use to calculate your applicable taxes. The fee is owed to the
owner of the Project Gutenberg trademark, but he has agreed to donate
royalties under this paragraph to the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation. Royalty payments must be paid within 60 days
following each date on which you prepare (or are legally required to
prepare) your periodic tax returns. Royalty payments should be clearly
marked as such and sent to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
Foundation at the address specified in Section 4, “Information about
donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation.”

• You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies
you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he does
not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg™ License. You
must require such a user to return or destroy all copies of the works
possessed in a physical medium and discontinue all use of and all
access to other copies of Project Gutenberg™ works.

• You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of any
money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in the
electronic work is discovered and reported to you within 90 days of
receipt of the work.

• You comply with all other terms of this agreement for free distribution
of Project Gutenberg™ works.

1.E.9. If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a Project Gutenberg™
electronic work or group of works on different terms than are set forth in
this agreement, you must obtain permission in writing from the Project

below.

1.F.

1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread works
not protected by U.S. copyright law in creating the Project Gutenberg™

the medium on which they may be stored, may contain “Defects,” such as,
but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or corrupt data, transcription
errors, a copyright or other intellectual property infringement, a defective or
damaged disk or other medium, a computer virus, or computer codes that
damage or cannot be read by your equipment.

1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except
for the “Right of Replacement or Refund” described in paragraph 1.F.3, the
Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
Gutenberg™ trademark, and any other party distributing a Project

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project
Gutenberg

Project Gutenberg is synonymous with the free distribution of electronic
works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers including
obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists because of the

Page 222

efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from people in all walks of
life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the assistance
they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg’s goals and ensuring
that the Project Gutenberg collection will remain freely available for
generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for
Project Gutenberg and future generations. To learn more about the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations
can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at
www.gutenberg.org.

Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg
Literary Archive Foundation

(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the state of
Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal Revenue Service.
The Foundation’s EIN or federal tax identification number is 64-6221541.

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without widespread
public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the
number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed
in machine-readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment

Page 223

including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are
particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States.
Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort,
much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these
requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not
received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or
determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit
www.gutenberg.org/donate.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have
not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against
accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us
with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any
statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the
United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation methods
and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including
checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please visit:
www.gutenberg.org/donate.

Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg
electronic works

Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg
concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with
anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg
eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed editions,
all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in the U.S. unless a

Page 224

copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in
compliance with any particular paper edition.

Most people start at our website which has the main PG search facility:
www.gutenberg.org.

This website includes information about Project Gutenberg, including how
to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation,
how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email
newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
