Boards generally a little worn, lightly rubbed at edges, bruised and rounded on corners and spine ends, a few mild marks.

Casing now protected in a loose fitting, stiff Perspex sleeve. Thomas Webster (1772-1844), a Scottish architect and geologist by training (the Royal Institution on Albemarle Street being built from his designs) was one of the first paid scientific professors, being Professor of Geology at University College, London. He spent the last ten years of his life on a commission from publishers Longman, Brown, Green and Longmans compiling his enormous dictionary of domestic economy, with the assistance of one Mrs William Parkes, which was published in the year of his death. It is now widely accepted that Mrs Isabella Beeton's Book of Household Management (1859) leaned heavily on the work of others - her main source was Webster's Encyclopaedia, particularly on the arrangement of the kitchen and general observations, making Webster's work one of the most influential works on household management of the 19th century.
