Liger, Louis, sieur d'Auxerre (cont.) 
A-t '-'o^ 
Le Menage des champs et le Jardinier fran 9 ois accommodez 
au gout du temps. 1710? et seq. 
Vicaire, in his Bibliographie gastronomique (1890), col. 522- 
523, gives this note: "Le privilege est donne au sieur Liger qui 
I’a cede le 30 mai 1710 aux sieurs Michel David & Damien Beugnl6. 
La Edition du Manage des champs a paru en 1710," But Vicaire 
gives no record of the edition of 1710, which has not been locat¬ 
ed so far, and we have found no other authority for its existence, 
Vicaire derives his statement from the privilege found in one of 
the earliest known editions, that of Michel David, 1711, 
In a copy of "Le Mdnage des champs Seconds partie" (Paris, 
M, David, 1715), seen at the Mass. Hort, Soc., it is stated that 
the privilege had originally been granted to Damien Beugnier (or 
Beugnie), and by him transferred to Michel David, Beugnie print¬ 
ed works by Liger as early as 1702, 
Vicaire also observes that this work is nothing but a compila¬ 
tion of the "Jardinier fran^ois" and the "Delices de la campagne" 
of Nicolas de Bonnefons, and is divided into 4 "livres," of which 
the first 3 relate to cookery, and the 4th to gardening, followed 
by the treatises on hunting and fishing. 
All the Paris editions after the first, in 1711, appear to have 
been issued as two distinct works: "Premiere partie" or "Nouveau 
cuisinier fran 9 ois," containing the 3 books on cookery, end "Se- 
conde partie" or "Nouveau jardinier franyois," comprising the one 
on gardening and the tracts on hunting and fishing. 
The book was also published at Bruxelles by Leonard, with the 
title, "Le Menage universe! de la ville et des champs, et le Jar¬ 
dinier accommodez au go^t du temps." The editions of 1712, 1720, 
1725 and 1733, and possibly others, appear to include the entire 
contents of the first edition, Paris, 1711, with addition of var¬ 
ious other material, notably a treatise on bee culture by La Fer- 
ri4re, whose name is indicated in the title of the 1733 edition 
by Cat, Bib, Nat, Paris, 98:105-106,
