Description:PRE-ISBNFrom the inside-front dustjacket:"This standard work, first published in 1939, has been out of print for some years. Sir Jack Drummond had intended to produce a new edition, but he met his tragic death before he was able to make notes for the revisions which he regarded as necessary in the light of further historical research, later scientific discoveries and his experience as Scientific Adviser at the Ministry of Food from 1940 to 1946.Miss Dorothy Hollingsworth, who worked in association with him at the Ministry and kept in touch with him later, is fully qualified to produce this revised edition. It has meant extensive revisions, in some places ‘cuts’ of more or less obsolete data to make room for later information. But the essential character of the book has been preserved. Supported by quotations from sources such as Arthur Young, Defoe, Mrs Glasse, Smollett and André Simon, and fortified by opinions from the experts on every aspect of the subject, it remains for the general reader a fascinating survey of what Englishmen were eating at different periods of our history. Nutritional problems are still with us and to specialists and students the value of this book as an historical record and as a summing-up of recent investigations will be obvious."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
