I have fixed one that I spotted. There was some repetition in History as well, when you added the fact from the lead - it's fine now. Great job, the article is ready to be a GA now! It has been a pleasure collaborating on this.

Would rather not as they're virtually guaranteed to be misleading - do we use inflation-based, or earnings-based, or what? Food is now far cheaper relative to income, houses far more expensive, so comparisons are very

In that case, is it possible to access the book itself through ISBN and cite it here? That would mean you look at the book and say all this. I have seen this done at some places. Same may be done in Illustrations.

Are they three different publishers or one? Could we have some more info on these publishers? I see you have linked Ward Lock later, better mention him here first. Linked first instance.
521:
It would be good to place some or all of the mentioned quotes in boxes so that they attract the eye and improve the look, it seems monotonous as it is (I liked the presentation at

Again, the section just describes the book itself, which is the source, indeed also naming the edition chosen. The text is now referenced to the pictures in the article.
122: 77: 99: 431:
One company of publishers, three people running the company. It changed its name at least once (but like grandad's axe, remained the same in essence).
478:
it was first published as a book in 1861 by S. O. Beeton Publishing, 161 Bouverie Street, London, a firm founded by her husband, Samuel Beeton.
621: 523: 82: 637:(the art of being boring consists of saying everything); our job for GA is to state "the main points", which the section does. 576:
No, the Contents directly describes the book, which is the source. We hardly need to say that Chapter 6 comes from Chapter 6.

Take care that we do not deviate from the topic at hand by discussing the writing style and views of Mrs Beeton.
927: 180: 403:
Money conversion templates could help in some, if not all, places. Not sure though, it is your choice.
633:
The reason here is that there are very many chapters, varying in number and title between editions.

If ref no. 9 cites the whole of the first para you can simply place it at the end of the para.

Cookery is a Science that is only learnt ... variety for you to choose from
265:
Please expand the lead. It does not cover all the sections of the article.
230:
Would "all" not be an overstatement? Perhaps "several" would be better?
773:
The "m" in "made" is in caps here but small in "Influence and legacy".
619:
Would look much more systematic and interesting if arranged as in
879:
Agreed. I'm a Brit and it seems ok, did anything catch your eye?
677:
I think it should be "an introduction to cookery (Chapter 6)"
459:'allowing readers to imagine...still keeping an eye on them' 872:: I think we should use British English throughout the text. 316:
OK, it's Lucy, but Mrs. Smiles is what people usually write.
387:
Could be better worded as "a copy of the first edition".
738:
Why are some words in caps in this quote (like "long")?

In 1863, a revised edition was issued in instalments.

It was correct, but perhaps rather British. Reworded.
