There are a few recipes by Mrs Beeton, including dessert recipes at http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/chefs/mrs_beeton There are several other websites with other recipes, and something described as her most delicious dessert at http://mrsbeetonin365days.wordpress.com/2010/06/25/day-167-mrs-beetons-most- delicious-dessert/ Her book of household management, including cookery, was first published in 1861, so qualifies as pre-twentieth century. But it's very middle class - not sure what my Ag Labs would have eaten for dessert, if anything.
