FOREIGN LITERATURE. [No. XX11..1 The ECONOMICAL WOK ; or, Miw Elements of Cookery, Pastry-work, . And Buttery, by M. ARCHAMBA[JLT, formerly Restaurateur. Bvo. Paris, 1821. The publication of this wo r k is really a signal . benefit conferred on the world, and the name of its author will henceforth be ranked among the most honourable. Good cheer and economy ! the discovery is 'above all value, and comes Ia most excellent season. Heaven must assuredly have taken Us under his especial protection, to send us such a present iu these times of retrench, men t. At no period, ho wever,would the Economical Cook have been despised ; but its utility cannot fail to be duly appreciated after a war which has imposed. on us so many and. such painful sacri fices. There are alas! too many houßttrable men whose. fortunes are no longer in proportion with their appetites, and whom principle compels to live frugally. For the same reasons this work must be very acceptable in France, where the practice of economy is as strongly inforced in the Chamber of Deputes as in our House of Com mons. I have no wish to discourage those na tions who, copying the example of France, are now working their Political Regeneration; but, I beg leave to inform them thatafter having com pleted their regeneration, they will be in want of our Economical Cook. That a contractor should dine well is no won der. This honest man spends on his' dinner twice the sum it cost the Roman Senate to por tion off the daughter of Scipio: but to make good cheer with little money is a marvellous secret, which neither our own Ministers nor those of France, notwithstanding all their economical efforts, have been able to find out. 'I make this remark, however, only to enhance the merit of M. Archambault, and to make you set a just value on the important services he has rendered to his own country and also to ours. An econo mical cook, and general instruction! are you now content ? Little as we have reflected on this im pot taut branch of human knowledge, we know that a good treatise of cookery could not be written by a tyro. If therefore I was now dis cussing the work of a young cook, yet, a novice in his art, I should be on my guard against his promises. The more magnificent they were, the more I should distrust them. These-young artists are so presumptuous ! they have such a high opinion _of themselves. But M. Archam---' bault is not a beginner. "More than forty yearsp he tells you, ." dedicated to his profession, haVe " taught him a new art." His receipts are then the fruits of his experience; he owes them all to long study, to laborious meditation. Forty years active service, a complexion blackened by the flame and smoke of his perpetually burning fires, and lastly, an historical name in cookery,—these are the titles on which he rests his claims to public confidence, and truly they are imposing. To attract a still greater portion of interest towards the Economical Cook, I ought to tell you with what generous. views it was composed. M. Archambault was..a short time since one of the most eminent restaurateurs in the French capital. The Quintilian of cookery, M. Grimod de la Reyniere, mentions him in twenty places in,his works, and always in terms of cominenda tion. His meats were exquisite, his bill of fare contained an agreeable variety. In like Manner did " those persons who frequented his house" sing his praises ; but. several of them, and they were not those who least esteemed his houSe, while they admitted that they dined there very well, found that, considering their finances were much diminished by the present unfortunate state,-of affltirs, their dinner cost them rather too much money. Another person would have said to them, I am very sorry for it, go and dine else where ; but M: Archambault was a more humane restaurateur, commiserated their situation, and formed the noble resolution of " treating them, " in an excellent style, without :imposing on " them a heavy expellee ;" a pcoblena which all the masters of the art had before considered as incapable of solution. Let us listen to M. Archambault :—" Neces " sity,", says he, " compelled, me to resort to " expedients, and to create resources, in order to " unite economy with good cheer was, there " fore, necessary to find substitutes for those ex " pensive ingredients which were hitherto used in profusion► in the preparation of sauces and ragouts." But before he could find those ex pedients, create those. resources, and instead of those .nitp.-:ns;Ve ing,Wilients use others less costly, what. - a number of eitOriments, often unsuccess ful, was be not obliged to make-? and what a va riety of sauces .must have been spoiled! This artist speaks Of -his labours with great. modesty ; but we can imagine,- without. -his.telling it, what infinite trouble and care the- Economical (look must have given him. "-In -order to treat his visitors in excellent style, without putting them to great expense;" we have no doubt, M.. Archambault, despairing of success, frequently gave Way before the nu . - tnerons obstacles hich were inseparable. from such an undertaking • although di s c ourag ed but, ,by these failures, he retreated from his stoves,: his heart soon brought him back again. A noble idea, the desire of being useful, supported his courage. I think I hear him say : " I am' deter " mined to repair one of the most unjust acts 'of " fortune ; I am resolved that these interesang. " victims of the misfortunes of the times shall, " find in the Economical Coo?: an indemnity for " their losses, the only one probably th e y w ill cc . . ever receive." At length M.Archarnbault tabled the reward of his perseverance-; he dis covered," the means of supplying the larder,and " which the larder could not furnish;" here was the solution of the problem ; and M. Archam bault may exclaim with Archimedes : cc I have found Even if success had not crowned his efforts, I should consider them equally entitled to my ap plause. Where are 'the restaurateurs who re semble him, and who, forgetting their own inte rests,.are solely occupied in promoting ours ? If you know them, I shall be obliged to you for their address ; but - M. Archambault was not only a very good cook, but also an excellent man. It is pleasant to be able at the same time to speak in commendation of fine talents and a good heart. There exists in cookery, I know, very serious obstacles against economy, and I confess also, that up to the present moment they have had , some foundation ; but I have no doubt that M. Archambault will yet accomplish their destruc tion ; for, with him, -economy dyes not prevent excellence ; and notwithstanding he has banished all expensive ingredients from his kitchen, we can scarcely perceive their absence ; iiis ragouts, his gravies, and his sauces not being less palatable or piquant. Ile was well aware that he could not other- wise have succeeded, and thatin an enlightened age, so capable of appreciating the value of ma terial enjoyments, it was necessary for him, as he himself says, while he was studying economy to study alsii our palates. Truly, we are riot likely, in the present day, to be satisfied with the or dinary of the Fabricii, the Curii, and other Ro mans of the same appetite, very respectable no doubt, but whose cooks were rather too econo mical. We should reject with disgust the dish of lentils on which they feasted with so much g-usta. A. change of times requires . a change in our kitchens. Restaurateurs know it well, and for this reason M. Archambault was desirous of resolving both conditions of the problem. Be sides, had he not to support the honour of his house ? Do you think that, after having reached Rich eminence, he could have demeaned himself so low as to rank among those obscure restaura teurs whose treacherous economy I have too often experienced. This would indeed shew a thorough ignorance of artists, and particularly of cooks who are worthy of this name : glory is their idol. - Moreover, the merit of the Economical Cook can nownb longer be a subject of discussion. It .possessesi on this point the most respectable authority, that of the thing judged, and I have mentioned the persons who sat in judgment on it. .No doubt they. had a great esteem for M. Arch ambault, but they liked a good dinner better, and since the Economical Cook has come to us furnished-with -their approbation,. and honoured by their suffrages, what more can it want ? May not M. Archambault say with Horace : Priazci pibus placuissc viris . . .? You will perhaps be now more anxious to know the expedients he made use of, and the re sources he created, to supply the' place of the ek= pensive ingredients which are in common use ; but HI were to gratify your curiosity I should be obliged to enter into certain details which ought •not to appear in this article. I must therefore confine myself to general remarks ; my Economical Cook . will tell you the rest, for 'there are many: things which he alone can explain. I haVe no wish to depreciate modern cookery; the art'has made amazing progress during the last twenty five years, and to entertain any doubt on thiS head is to confess that you have not read the Art of the Cook, by M. Beauvilliers, one of the finest Ivorks of that time, with which M. Arch ambault " has no intention of pUtting his own " into competition ;" but the French are too apt to despise the _doctrines of their ancestors ; and as respects their cookery, certainly it w a s not, so excellent as that of the present day, but it is by no means deserving, of our contempt.. This remark has been before made by. very clever men on•other subjects, be side's. cOOkery; flowmany dishes have been lightly abandoned and without any advantage to our palatal sensuality ! What real.coMplaints had we against thern . ?'. It is true they were very plain, and simplivity in the present day is but a 'feeble recorr4fetidation. Besides they were . antient, and on, this account the spirit of party in F ranee, which leis nothing escape, hai proscribed them without examination, as if there could be any feudalism in, sauces and ragouts M. Archambault has therefore had the good sense and.the courage to return to the old sys tem, after. having established its advantages by frequetet:ex.periments. A cook without any pre _ _ j - . udiees, he - has availed himself of all the truly impokant acquisitions of modern cookery, but he dic~not think himself bound to reject that which was goad aid agreeable in the antient ? .Why .have not the rest of his countrymen been •equally prudent! Ah ! if their .first legislators had, done for their institutions . what -M. Arch ailliffult has done .. fOr his ragouts, they would now•have -been in a much better:condition; for, in politics, as in cookery,.itlis somewhat ad vantageous not to . sever entirefy . the past from the present. The Economical Cook gives this lesson to the French, but unfortunately it is too late: w hope, however, that it will not be lost on our Reformers. A note of the' Editor informs us that M. Ar chambault cannot enjoy his success. " This esti " triable man, animated by a love of his art, and " by the wish of doing honour to his times, de " No teChis 1-cfsure to writing down the numerous " results of his experiments, when a premature 44 death' snatched him from his family and " friends." Here then is another loss to be add ed to all those which cookery has suffered during several years past. "the masters of the art dit appear, and who will supply their places? We are informed that the rising generation is ad dicted to study, and that it is thoughtfalan4 re ,fteative, but we cannot judge of their sauces be'- fore we have tasted them, and I am rather afraid they will prove too piquant. The ra.mory of M. Archambault will long be dear to epicures. The service he has ciriferred on them is not one of those which are easily for gotten. What then - remains for us to desire 1— The Opposition, .who are not mily satisfied, will now be left without a wish ? To be Weir governed and to dine well at the cheapest pos sible rate, .These are,' believe, the objects •so earnestly demar ded . by the lights of the We possess already the benefits of one, and - the Economiced Cook will give .us the other. Tile Editor is right In - saying teat this work's will prove a glorious monument to its author ;71iitit our gratitude ought to rai i ie another to M. Ar qiiambault,, on which thesektords should be en graved :—Goon CUEER AND Ecououv. MIONAPARTE'S MAY-DAYS. CURIOUS COINCIDENCE.--.(CO IXCIZD,, On the FIFTH of MAY 1738, the Parliament of Paris first resisted' the king's authority, when he had desired to create a land-tax, and to increase the stamp duty.

Six—As I have y e t some mont hS t o rema i n . this country, -it is my earnest wish to preserve the-good opinion of thirst friends who have so generously and nobly _manifested thee: approbation of my character and talents. As the servant of • public, I am aware that I am amenable to public opinion art censttre; and if the public yoke declare that I have been in error' ? lam ready to apologise with all due submission. But, Sir, is it not extraordinary that the offence with which I am charged took place at Boston, with the concurrence of the Ma i nagers; with the approbation of 'friends, with whom I after wards spent the evening, gentlemen of fortune and literary. fte— quirements ; and that I should not hear any dissatisfaction ex pressed until I arrived in' this city ? •I passed the following morning at Boston tranquilly ; and on my arrival in New Vork,.murmurs of disapprobation were - heard, which appeared to -me like an overwhelming avalanche at the termination of a brilliant harvest. At an immoderate expence, and with all that additional cot which falls to the lot of a stranger, I repaired to Boston to fitl •fil my engagements. Had I been acquainted with the customs of the country, I should have made different arrangementS but my advisers never intimated to me that theatres were only visited in certain months of the year; that when curiosity had subsided, dramatic talent was not in estimation. I nevv could or would believe that the arts in this country were only encou raged periodically, or that there could be any season in which Shakespeare was diminished in value; but as I am now initiated in these mysteries, I shall hereafter profit by my ex'- perience.. Sir, I live by my professional exertions. Innumerable fathily claims are satisfied by each month's disbursements ; I cannot afford to give those talents away. 1 had performed two of me principal , characters without hopes of remuneration in that town, were my'efForts . had, two months before, contributed largely to augment the public charities. I repeat, I had acted two characters to the very extent of my abilities without profit. On looking through the curtain, at seven o'clock, on the. night I was to represent RICHARD THE THIRD, (that character Which haS been the foundation of my fame and fortunts) I counted twenty persons in front of the theatre. I then decided, hastily, if you please,. that it was better to husband my re= sources for a inure favourable season, and • in this decision no disrespect was contemplated to the audience, slender as it was. The Managers appar,:ntly concurred with me, deplored the un fortunate state of the times, and we parted in perfect harmony and. confidence. It was try intention to leave America on the close of my southern engagements. I now think it my alit} , - to return vain to Boston,- and, in person, vindicate my cause at the season when those who meat patronise the Theatre are assembled.-e, • The public have Waved use with the greatest liberality, and I shall ever acknowledge its favours with pride- end - gratitude.-e- At the latest houtel shall rernember: those friends by. whom haVe been encircled, and whoseeataity And confidence t am cern_ vinced I have not forfeited. But Inlay be permitted to my, that trio present hostility is not the voice 6f• the public ; it is that spirit of-detraction ever attendant on little rainits—a spirit which watehen for its prey, and seizes unon transient and acein dental occurrences to defame and destroy. That respectable presses it this country should have been influenced by such feelings, and denounce with such acrimony arid bitterness, iS to me extraordinary. " There something in it mere than . ..nu . - tura], if philosophy could find it out: . I understand some Gentlemen have asserted that I_ have acted to equally bad houSes in England. lament that they are driven to such extremities ; or, rather, • that th e y s h ou ld eotripel me to declare that their assertions are untrue. The pre sent existence of the first Theatre in Europe is founded on the abilities which they affect to dee,pise. The provincial Managers of England, Scotland, and Ireland, have thankfully rewarded my efforts by sums equal to what receive from my fiend Fir. Price, the worthy and efficient Manager - of the Theatre in this city : For the first three years of a career unprecedented in dr:e metic annals, I was In receipt of double that sum in every theatre in which I-acted, and, even allowing a triflingtliminr tion in the space of seven . years, what•ana I to think of a city in which I have been received iiith equal enthusiasm- and wit ness a total desertion in -the space at: three months; I...kat' the public say I was too precipitate,--diat I should ;save performed that evening, and then dosed my engagement. • fGranted. • Our feelings frequently mar our better jud g ments, an d f rom trifline, caused lead to results which we subsequently regret. The .error was venal, for who is exempt from error? But all unpreje*- diced people will, I trust, take into consideration the unpro-iitw able labour of acting RICHARD THE THIRD to a solitary few, who subsequently aeknowledged themselves perfectly contented with the Gentlemo who represented the character.. -1- urn new convinced -that the fine weather was ray chit f alertly, and shall again resume my station in the Boston'l'hee , ere berforel return, to England. I beg leAve, Sir, to submit thin" round 'unvarnished tale " to the consideration and decision of the public; and I have too exalted an opinion of their justice and liberility, net to antici pate a verdict, in my favour. 3iD.?"11.1n1 D ifilf.AN.
