A Plain Cookery Book for the Working Classes

to all others, and THE LANCET, in a notice given July 24, 1858, states, "=This is superior to anything of the kind known="--an opinion indisputably confirmed by scientific tests and public appreciation. THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS, AND THE LEISURE HOUR, have given most interesting notices accompanied by engravings, explanatory of the process of manufacture; and Dr. LANKESTER, F.R.S., F.L.S., speaks of it in the highest terms of praise in his Lectures at the South Kensington Museum, on "Food."--(Hardwicke, Piccadilly, pp. 71-80.) * * * * * Families by writing on their orders ... _packets' Brown and Polson_, and refusing to receive any but the packages which bear BROWN and POLSON'S name in full and Trade Mark, would discourage the fraudulent means by which the substitution of inferior kinds are encouraged. Many Grocers, Chemists, etc., who supply the best quality, in preference to best profit articles, sell none but BROWN and POLSON'S. [Illustration] My object in writing this little book is to show you how you may prepare and cook your daily food, so as to obtain from it the greatest amount of nourishment at the least possible expense; and thus, by skill and economy, add, at the same time, to your comfort and to your comparatively slender means. The Recipes which it contains will afford sufficient variety, from the simple every-day fare to more tasty dishes for the birthday, Christmas-day, or other festive occasions. To those of my readers who, from sickness or other hindrance, have not money in store, I would say, strive to lay by a little of your weekly wages ... that your families may be well fed, and your homes made comfortable. *** END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK A PLAIN COOKERY BOOK FOR THE WORKING CLASSES *** Updated editions will replace the previous one—the old editions will be renamed.
