Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Ladies' New Book of Cookery: Practical System for Private Families in Town and Country; Directions for Carving, and Arranging the Table for Parties, Etc;, Preparations of Food for Invalids and for Children
The table, if wisely ordered, with economy, skill and taste, is the central attraction of home; the Lady who presides there, with kindness, carefulness and dignity, receives homage from the Master of the House, when he places at her disposal the wealth for which he toils. The husband earns, the wife dispenses are not her duties as important as his?
If this truth were acknowledged and acted upon, by giving the Science of Domestic Economy a prominent place in Seminaries for Female Education, we should soon witness great improvements in household management.
