'A Book about the Table' by John Cordy Jeaffreson was published in two volumes by Hurst and Blackett in London in 1875.

Volume 1 contains information about the history of napkins, an intriguing theory as to why the ornate folding of napkins arose, and refers in some detail to 'A Perfect School of Instructions for the Officers of the Mouth' by Giles Rose.

There is no relevant information in Volume 2.

A full copy of Volume 1 of the work can be accessed online here.
