The Latest and Best-A New Book for Housewives.

PRACTICAL AMERICAN COOKERY

AND

DOMESTIC ECONOMY.

BY MISS E. M. HALL.

One Volume, 436pp. 12mo. Price, $1 00.

This work has been prepared with much care and well directed attention. It conta the results of experience, and will be found on inspection to be all that is essential, either for the most simply or elaborately furnished table. The Recipes are carefully prepared and conveniently classified and arranged.

The Cookery contains 973 Recipes, relating to every department of the subject, and is illustrated with 44 appropriate Engravings.

The Domestic Economy contains 363 Recipes and recent important information relating to the Garden, the Orchard, the Wardrobe, the Laundry, and to all those household and domestic affairs upon which instruction is sought by the thoughtful and caretaking mistress. This department of the book, so seldom to be found in works of the kind-we deem a convenient and important feature. A Cook-book has become a household hand-book, and as such is frequently consulted. By embracing in the same volume the most important information relating to the general subject and to the details of household management, the publishers feel that they have supplied a want which will be appreciated by American housewives.

OPINIONS OF REVIEWERS.

This is the latest, as it is also one of the best and most complete books of practical domestic cookery that has ever been published in this country. It contains over 1,300 recipes, relating to every department, and illustrated with about fifty instructive engravings. The work has been prepared with great industry, care, and judgment; the recipes are for the most part simple, easy, and of great variety. To housekeepers this work will be an invaluable vade mecum, including as it does important instructions for the management of the garden, the orchard, the wardrobe, the laundry, and every variety of domestic affairs.-Boston Atlas.

This work will prove an invaluable aid to young housekeepers, and in fact old ones may glean some excellent hints from it. Instructions for the behavior of guest, hest, and servant-rules for carving and serving, besides recipes for cooking all kinds of dishes. In this fast age, when young ladies are educated for the drawing-room instead of the kitchen, when housekeeping has become a vulgar employment, and economy and care are obsolete words, such a book is greatly needed.--Geneva Courier.

Here is another book for housewives, and we should think it a very good one. The recipes have been selected and arranged with much care, and what is better still, are the results of experience.--Olive Branch.

True economy should induce every good housewife to purchase this work.-Boston Transcript.

This is a valuable and truly useful work, comprising everything needful to be known in the domestic economy, essential to the comfort, convenience, and enjoyment of a family. No female should.be without a copy.-Oswego Palladium,

It is an American book, and this fact alone is enough to commend it to the good sense of every American woman, in preference to the garlic-scented French style of cookery. Everything in the shape of cooking, from a roast turkey down to the most delicate preserve, may be learned from Miss Hall's book.-Chris. Secretary.

In fullness of material, in happy and simple arrangement, and in profuseness of illustration, we have as yet seen no book for housewives which claims to be equal to Miss Hall's book in interest and value.-American Spectator.

We scorn all bribes, but admit we should like to dine with Miss Hall, or any one of her proficient pupils. Her book has effected us even to tears; had we been hungry as erst we have been, it would have been overpowering. In all candor, we believe this to be a very good book. It contains directions for carving, preparation of beverages, medicinal and other, and a great variety of very useful information.-N. Y. Criterion.
