Condiments, Spices and Flavors, by Mary Elizabeth Green (1844 - ???)

This project is now complete! All audio files can be found on our catalog page: https://librivox.org/condiments-spices-and-flavors-by-mary-elizabeth-green/
"In this pamphlet no attempt has been made to give specific directions as to the uses of spices and condiments. It must be borne in mind that their usage results neither from the demands of fashion nor of a vitiated sense of taste, but from their own germicidal and preservative qualities. . . . A short account of the divers kinds and qualities of these excellent substances may lead, it is hoped, to a more intelligent use of them in cookery." [from Preface] (Summary by Larry Wilson)
Source text (please read only from this text!): https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/66284

Larry, can you share with me any information you have found on this author? We don't have her in the catalogue, and I'm finding a number of Mary Elizabeth Greens who were born in 1844. :hmm:

Ok, I have your MW ready, and I've entered this author without a death year, since I can't be sure based on what I've found which year to use. Regardless, with a birth year of 1844, we can be sure that this work is PD for everyone unless she lived to be 120. :wink: Still, it would be nice to have a little more info, if it is out there to be found. So please do tell me if you have anything I missed.
