Only one hundred andfifty copieswere pri11ted,
and the situatio11 wasfurther complicated
becaus~
half
of
the edition bore the name
of
Squire
Hoggson, great-granclfather
of
Noble Foster
Hoggson, who supplied half
of
the recipes in the
hook, and who shared equally in the hoax.
Except for the binding, which was designed
for this edition by the writer
of
these lines, this
hook presents afaithful reproduction
of
th: original,
even to the carefully planned crudities resulting
from the use
of
much worn type.
