** "The Art and Mystery of Curing, Preserving, and Potting All Kinds of Meats, Game, and Fish" by Anonymous, is a handbook from the 1800s that teaches different ways to keep food fresh longer. It explains how to cure, preserve, and pickle meats, fish, fruits, and vegetables. The book includes many recipes for both regular cooks at home and people who sell food. Early on, it mentions how food that is bought already preserved is often not good, so it teaches readers how to avoid mistakes in curing through different techniques, like how to choose the right fuel for smoking. The author hopes to help many different types of people, from rich families to local shop owners, make preserved foods that are both safe and tasty. **
