The Frugal Housewife, or Complete Woman Cook was the only cookbook published in the United States during the 50-year period before publication of American Cookery by Amelia Simmons—the first truly American cookbook. Originally published in the United Kingdom, Susannah Carter’s work was hugely successful, and after achieving best-seller status in that market, it was published for an American audience. Again, it was well-received, this time by colonial housewives. The first American printing actually included plates engraved by Paul Revere. The Frugal Housewife contains a fascinating array of recipes including: Baked Indian Pudding, Eel Pie, Peach Sweetmeats, Maple Beer, Method of Destroying the Putrid Smell which Meat Acquires during Hot Weather, and Spruce Beer out of Shed Spruce. The cookbook and author Carter are credited with influencing author Amelia Simmons, who wrote the first American-specific cookbook, but the The Frugal Housewife, or Complete Woman Cook is historically significant in its own worth as well for its recipes, social information, and time period when it was published. Later US editions included some Americanization for New World ingredients and methods. This edition of The Frugal Housewife, or Complete Woman Cook was reproduced by permission from the volume in the collection of the American Antiquarian Society, Worcester, Massachusetts. Founded in 1812 by Isaiah Thomas, a Revolutionary War patriot and successful printer and publisher, the Society is a research library documenting the life of Americans from the colonial era through 1876. The Society collects, preserves, and makes available as complete a record as possible of the printed materials from the early American experience. The cookbook collection includes approximately 1,100 volumes.

Pre-order the 13th chilling and adrenaline-packed Robert Hunter thriller, from the #1 Sunday Times and multi-million-copy bestselling author, Chris Carter. When a routine autopsy on what looked like a straightforward hit-and-run leads the LA Chief Medical Examiner, Dr Carolyn Hove, to discover some puzzling inconsistencies, she calls in Detective Robert Hunter of the LAPD Ultra Violent Crimes Unit. Not only did Dr Hove discover that the death wasn’t caused by a hit-and-run, but she also found indications that the victim had been severely tortured prior to death. What no one realises is that what Dr Hove has stumbled upon is just the tip of the iceberg and it will lead Hunter and his partner, Carlos Garcia, on the trail of a twisted and clever killer who hides in plain sight. A serial killer no one even knew existed – a killer who has always operated under the radar, expertly disguising every gruesome murder as an accidental death. But with no leads as to why the victim was targeted, the investigation comes to a standstill, until another body is discovered with an alternative cause of death. What becomes clear is that this serial killer isn’t going to stop – unless Hunter and Garcia can get to him. But how do you investigate a murder when you have no victims? How do you catch a killer who leaves behind no crime scene? How do you stop a ghost who no one can prove even exists? PRAISE FOR CHRIS CARTER: ‘This is a chilling, compulsive portrait of a psychopath, and proves that Carter is now in the Jeffery Deaver class’ Daily Mail ‘Carter has a background in criminal psychology and the killers at the centre of his novels are all the more terrifying for it’ Mail on Sunday ‘Carter is one of those authors who makes writing look effortless . . . I couldn't put it down’ Crimesquad ‘An insanely good crime series. Extraordinarily well written, high quality and high drama all the way’ Liz Loves Books ‘An intriguing and scary thriller’ Better Reading ‘A gripping psychological thriller’ Breakaway ‘Punchy and fast paced’ Sunday Mirror

Australian Books and Authors in the American Marketplace 1840s–1940s explores how Australian writers and their works were present in the United States before the mid twentieth century to a much greater degree than previously acknowledged. Drawing on fresh archival research and combining the approaches of literary criticism, print culture studies and book history, David Carter and Roger Osborne demonstrate that Australian writing was transnational long before the contemporary period. In mapping Australian literature’s connections to British and US markets, their research challenges established understandings of national, imperial and world literatures. Carter and Osborne examine how Australian authors, editors and publishers engaged productively with their American counterparts, and how American readers and reviewers responded to Australian works. They consider the role played by British publishers and agents in taking Australian writing to America, and how the international circulation of new literary genres created new opportunities for novelists to move between markets. Some of these writers, such as Christina Stead and Patrick White, remain household names; others who once enjoyed international fame, such as Dale Collins and Alice Grant Rosman, have been largely forgotten. The story of their books in America reveals how culture, commerce and copyright law interacted to create both opportunities and obstacles for Australian writers.

This most excellent work is divided into two parts. First, Carter exegetes and expounds “the wheels” of Ezekiel’s vision in Ezekiel 1 and 10. Then in the second part he exegetes and expounds the “nail” in Isaiah’s preaching (22:23). Both works are ultimately pointed at the manner in which God sets up and pulls down those wheels and nails that are to work, in his providence, for his glory, among his people. Carter’s poignant application of his exegesis on Ezekiel’s wheels is masterful, thought provoking and reaches the inner recesses of the Christian heart. It elevates the power of the Son of God, who sits on the chariot throne of the wheels of his providence, and commands the wheels to move here and there in providential oversight of the whole world. His work on the hammering of the “nail” is equally impressive in its substance showing God’s power and providence over those in authority, and those under authority. Though Carter is purposeful to deal with circumstances in his time with these passages, it does not take much for today’s Christian to be spiritually charged by the initial exegesis, doctrine and preaching of these works. From the Introduction: “Christians often wonder, “What is God’s will for my life?” Carter’s exposition on God’s providence and control of the earth will aid the Christian in making a conscious discernment in answering that question. Once the Christian heart and mind is given over to a true realization of God’s providence in its power and authority, their worldview is held captive in contentment of God’s work in their own life. God moves things in the world for our good…but ultimately, his glory. Here, publishing Carter’s sermons has been well worth the time, for all Christians need to be aggressively reminded of God’s power to be God in the control of all things, from the least to the greatest, for his own glory. The church would do well to study this work to glorify Christ in his all-encompassing providence over everyone and everything.” This is not a scan or facsimile, has been updated in modern English for easy reading and has an active table of contents for electronic versions.
