Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Colonel Wyvern, stationed with the army in Madras during the height of British imperial rule, opened a cookery school upon his return to England and was a passionate enthusiast for both European and Indian cuisine. In these vivid, common-sense and entertaining writings, he gives advice on re-creating French classics in the steaming heat; describes tiffin parties and cooking while at camp; and laments the declining popularity of curry in the Raj, providing foolproof recipes for curry powder, tamarind chutney, korma and 'mulligatunny' soup. With devotees including Elizabeth David, Wyvern's unique brand of anglo-Indian cookery is still reflected in the way we eat today. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.

2pp., 4to. Bifolium. Addressed, with red wax seal and postmark in red ink, on reverse of second leaf, to 'Captain Pack | Royal Fusiliers | Barbados'.

Miller has 'not yet heard that [Pack's mother] Lady Elizabeth [Reynell] has returned to Avisford, but the application which I shall recommend her Ladyship to make to Lord FitzRoy [Somerset] about a Majority in a Colonial Cap[taincy], may as well precede the request I advise you making to The Commander in Chief [the Duke of Wellington] thro' His Lordship [Somerset] on that head stating your anxiety for promotion & [rest underlined] being prepared to join & serve with the Regt. The Exchange no doubt would be afterwards carried - The Herefordshire will proceed to Cork for the 67 on the 27 Inst.' Pack - a godson of the Duke of Wellington - was Lieut-Colonel of the 7th Regiment of Foot (Royal Fusiliers) and a Knight of the Legion of Honour. He was Wounded at Sebastopol, and was author of 'Sebastapol Trenches and Five Months in Them.'.…
