Illus. Jacket. First Edition. London: Oxford Univ. Press, 1952.
An inquiry into the timing of meals throughout history, beginning in 1780. In William the Conqueror's time, dinner was served at 9:00 a.m.; by the 1930's, it was at 9:00 p.m. Palmer is fascinated by the changing meanings of mealtimes, and looks through history for examples of how it morphed over time. Minor chipping to jacket spine ends, else very good.
