Title: A Tryon Palace trifle, or, Eighteenth century cookery, etc. : being a selection of household receipts from an hitherto unpublished manuscript household book of the middle eighteenth century now housed in the Housekeeper's Room at Tryon Palace, at New Bern, North Carolina, which domestic matters will assuredly entertain & astonish the modern housewife. With which is combined sundry interesting accounts of colonial life, including a study of the art of cookery as practiced in America before the Revolution, a chatty letter from Royal Governor William Tryon to his uncle, a report of the visit of President George Washington to Tryon Palace, and various other matters having to do with the life of our North Carolina colonial ancestors.
