FAMILY BOOKS.
At the Bookstore of the publishers of this work may be found the following excellent books for families.
The PRACTICE OF COOKERY, adapted to the business of Every-Day Life. By Mrs. Dalgairns. Containing 1419 of the most useful receipts.
"Mrs Dalgairns is more practical, more varied, and more suited to what we may call the practical readers of such works, than either Dr. Kitchener's Oracle, or our friend of the Cleikum Inn. It is this character of utility which appears to us to constitute its value, and we have no doubt will prove its passport to extensive circulation. One decided improvement on former works has been adopted by Mrs. Dalgairns: it consists in prefixing to each chapter of her work the useful preliminary remarks relative to the subject of the chapter, instead of giving all these remarks in the shape of an introduction at the beginning of the book."—Scots Times.
"We must say Mrs. Dalgairns has succeeded in combining two things, which we never before found united in any work of this description,—we mean the pleasures of sense, with a just and proper regard to economy. Extravagance is the rock upon which all her predecessors have split. The great object of the author has been to make her book extensively useful; and we think she as completely succeeded. In short, the 'Practice of Cookery' is a book worthy of all acceptation; and we recommend it accordingly to every one who wishes to dine comfortably at a moderate cost."—Caledonian.
At the same place may be had all the recent publications on Cookery and family economy—among these are the Cook's Oracle, Frugal Housewife, House-Servant's Directory, &c. &c.
