It was originally published in 1828, but the version I have is a copy of its 12th printing Carter, Hendee, and Company are listed as publishers and the date for the 12 th printing says 1833 in Boston. It is a reproduction of the original book printed by Applewood Books , Bedford, MA.

What's the title, author, publisher, location, etc.? Is it a "true" cookbook, or merely a compilation of "old" recipes? And/or ones that've been adapted 'n "modernized"?

In my research, I got back as far as early 1800's booklet with a published 'baked beans' recipe ... and sorry, knowing people's penchant for sweetness I am convinced that it didn't take long for cheap molasses or maple syrup to make it into the mix and 'evolve' the recipe into the various regional mixes that are so prevalent today ...
