ADVERTISEMENT.
AS the following directions were intended for the conduct of the families of the
authoress's own daughters, and for the arrangement of their table so as to unite
a good figure with proper economy, she has avoided all excessive luxury, such as
essence of ham, and that wasteful expenditure of large quantities of meat for
gravy, which so greatly contributes to keep up the price, and is no less
injurious to those who eat than to those whose penury obliges them to abstain.
Many receipts are given for things, which being in daily use, the mode of
preparing them may be supposed too well known to require a place in a
cookery-book; yet how rarely do we meet with fine melted butter, good toast and
water, or well-made coffee! She makes no apology for minuteness in some
articles, or for leaving others unnoticed, because she does not write for
professed cooks. This little work would have been a treasure to herself when she
first set out in life, and she therefore hopes it may prove useful to others. In
that expectation it is given to the Public; and as she will receive from it no
emolument, so she trusts it will escape without censure.
