Early English Meals and Manners

Name: Early English Meals and Manners
Author: Frederick James Furnivall

Frederick Furnivall gathered these fifteenth-century books of nurture for the Early English Text Society: how to carve, serve, lay a table and behave at it. The longest is John Russell’s Boke of Nurture, written by a man who served in a great household. It tells a page what to do with his hands, his nose and the salt.
