# The Plain Sailing Cook Book/Preface

PREFACE
One should be prepared with an uncommonly good excuse for adding still another cook book to the legion already in existence. My own excuse will, I hope, be considered sufficient. So far as I am aware, no cook book of all the multitude now in use is successfully adapted to the needs of the person who has never before attempted to cook. It is not merely that most of the standard cook books take for granted more or less actual experience over the kitchen table and range; even those whose special appeal is to the novice and beginner usually fail in their purpose because the persons who write them, however versed in the lore of cookery, have little or insufficient skill in simple, concise, unequivocal expression. Knowing how and telling how are two very different things; and the common notion that any one who knows how is therefore and thereby fully qualified to tell how has led to endless confusion in cookery as in many other subjects.
What I have tried to do in this book is to tell how in such a way as to leave no possible room for doubt or misunderstanding on any point. In preparing and arranging each recipe, I have tried to keep continually in mind the person who has never before cooked anything, and who is as entirely dependent upon not only what I tell, but how I tell it, as one would be in attempting to concoct a chemical formula upon one's first visit to a laboratory.
At the beginning of each recipe there is a list of the kinds and amounts of the various materials required for ​that recipe, and a list of the utensils that will be needed for the preparation, mixing, and cooking of those materials. Each stage of the ensuing process is then separately described as simply and plainly and fully as my use of words will permit. I have tried to leave nothing to the imagination, nothing to be guessed at, nothing to be decided from previous experience. In a word, I have tried to do as I would be done by, if I were the user of the book instead of the author.
A glance through these pages will show that they are confined to the simpler every-day dishes that make up the staple menu of the average American family. In cookery, as in other things, one should begin at the beginning and serve one's apprenticeship before passing on to the more complex mysteries of the craft. Any one who has mastered the recipes here given will then, and not until then, be competent to attempt the numberless more elaborate dishes described in the almost numberless more elaborate cook books. My little volume is for the tyro, the beginner, and for no other. Its aim is to provide "plain sailing" for the wholly inexperienced mariner in culinary waters.
It only remains to add in this place that, as the beginner in cookery is usually the feminine half of a recently arranged matrimonial partnership, the recipes in this book are in nearly all cases designed to serve two persons only. If a larger family must be provided for, the amount of materials called for in any recipe should, of course, be increased in direct proportion to the additional number of persons in the family.

* WILLIAM HENRY HARRISON
Harrison, William Henry, grandfather of Benjamin Harrison and ninth president, was born in Charles City County, Va., Feb. 9, 1773. His father was one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, which, as chairman of committee, he reported to Congress on July 4 of 1776. After his father's death William joined the army which Wayne was leading against the northwestern Indians, and showed great gallantry at the battle on the Miami in 1794. He left the army in 1798. He represented the Northwest Territory as a delegate in Congress in 1799-1800, and succeeded in passing an important law relating to the sale of the Federal land in small parcels; and in 1800, when Indiana Territory was formed, which included the present states of Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and Ohio, he was appointed governor. He labored bravely to prevent war with the Indians, but was compelled to quell Tecumseh's outbreak and beat off a fierce and treacherous attack, which ended in an important victory at Tippecanoe on Nov. 7, 1811. In the War of 1812, as chief commander in the northwest, he repulsed the British forces under Proctor, and, aided by Perry's victory on Lake Erie pursued the invaders into Canada, where he totally routed them in the battle of the Thames on Oct. 5, 1813. He was elected to Congress in 1816, becoming United States senator in 1824. In 1828 he went to Colombia as ambassador, ​was recalled in 1829, and for 12 years was clerk in a county-court in Ohio. In 1836 he received 73 electoral votes for the presidency against Van Buren's 170; but four years later, the Whig party having united, he defeated Van Buren, obtaining 234 votes to the latter's 60. He died one month after his inauguration, on April 4, 1841, John Tyler, the vice-president, succeeding him.

​ Hart, Joel T., an American sculptor, was born in Kentucky in 1810. He had very little education, but learned to read by the light of a woodfire, and read everything he could get hold of. While working as a stonecutter in Lexington, Ky., he began modeling busts in clay, and succeeded in making fine likenesses. One of Cassius M. Clay brought him his first order for a bust in marble, and soon after the Ladies' Clay Association of Virginia ordered a marble statue of Henry Clay, which is now in the capitol of Richmond, Va. The colossal bronze statue of Clay at New Orleans and the statue of Woman Triumphant in the courthouse at Louisville, Ky., are his work. He went to Florence, Italy, in 1849, and died there on March 1, 1877. See Book of the Artists by Tuckerman.

* BENJAMIN HARRISON
Harrison, Benjamin, twenty-third president of the United States, was born at North Bend, Ohio, Aug. 20, 1833. His grand-father, William Henry Harrison, was the ninth president, and Benjamin's father was William Henry's third son. Benjamin Harrison graduated at Miami University, at Oxford, O., in 1852, and two
years afterward earned his first money as a crier in the Federal court in Indianapolis, where he had gone to commence practice as a lawyer. He was elected supreme-court reporter of Indiana in 1860, but joined the army during his term. In 1862 he raised a company, of which he was made second lieutenant. As colonel of the 70th Indiana volunteers, he was ordered to Kentucky. He took part under Sherman in the Atlanta campaign, and distinguished himself at Resaca and at Peach Tree Creek. He also was engaged in the battle of Nashville in December, 1864, under Thomas; and in 1865 was made brevet brigadier-general. At the close of the war he again took up the practice of law. In 1876 he was nominated for governor of Indiana, but was defeated, though running 2,000 votes ahead of his ticket. He declined a seat in Garfield's cabinet in 1880. In 1881 he was chosen United States senator from Indiana. In 1888 he was nominated for president by the Republicans. The campaign turned largely on the question of protection and free-trade, and resulted in Harrison's election over Cleveland by the votes of all the northern states except New Jersey and Connecticut. His administration (1889-93) was an able one, especially in its dealings with foreign questions. Its main features were the Pan-American Congress, held at Washington to promote commerce and more friendly relations between the republics of North and South America; the dispute with Great Britain in regard to the right of the United States to protect the seals in Bering Sea; the McKinley tariff bill, including reciprocity in trade with foreign countries; the dispute with Chile, because of the attack on American sailors at Valparaiso; and the dispute with Italy, because of the lynching of Italians in New Orleans. He was renominated in 1892, but was defeated by Cleveland. He died at Indianapolis on March 13, 1901.

# The Posthumous Works of Ann Eliza Bleecker/To Mr. Bleecker

Yes, I invok'd the Muses' aid To help me write, for 'tis their trade; But only think, ungrateful Muses, They sent dame Iris with excuses, They'd other business for to follow, Beg'd I'd apply to God Apollo.
The God said, as heav'n's charioteer, He had no time to mind us here; Said if we rac'd round earth like Phoebus One day, it sadly would fatigue us; Yet we expect, when tir'd at night, He'd stay from bed to help us write: Nor need we ask his sister Phoebe, For turning round had made her giddy; Her inspiration would confuse us, So counsell'd us to coax the Muses. Quite disappointed at this lecture I left his worship sipping nectar; But, pettishly as I left his dome, It chanc'd I met the Goddess Wisdom. No wonder she is wife, 'tis said She was the product of Jove's head. 'Bright Queen,' said I, 'in these abodes 'I beg'd a favour of the Gods: 'They wish'd the poets at the devil, 'And the nine ladies were uncivil: 'Apollo told me he was lazy, 'And call'd his sister Phoebe crazy. 'Permit me then your kind protection; 'From you I cannot fear rejection.'
Tritonia gave me smiles and nods, (The unsual compliments of Gods,) And look'd benign as rising sun, Which gave me courage to go on. '---Oh Goddess! let your powerful arms 'Keep young Ulyssus from all harms; 'Attend him in each strange adventure, 'And be, in human form, his mentor: 'Oh bid him shun Circean feasts, 'Whose magic pow'r turns men to beasts; 'Nor let him touch the fatal tree, 'Lest he forget Penelope: 'Keep him from a Calypso's arms, 'And all the treacherous Syren's charms: 'In Cyclop cells let him not enter; 'Permit him not at games to venture; 'Sure as he does, he is undone, 'Each sharper is a lestrigon; 'Nor city luxury inure him, 'To be a modern epicurian; '(For Temperance, celestial maid, 'Is still a virtue of the shade:) 'And dire diseases burn each vein 'Of those who Temperance prophane, 'And kill her sacred beeves in vain. 'The Grecians once to Pluto's glooms 'So sunk for slaughter'd hecatombs. 'If men believ'd in transmigration, 'How would it spare the brute creation? 'But, Goddess! let him soon return, 'Nor twice ten years in absence mourn; 'To those who love, a month appears 'As long as twenty tedious years.'
Minerva rais'd her ægis high, That blaz'd effulgence thro' the sky, And, smiling took the common oath, To be immensely kind to both; Then down from heaven's pure æther flew Swifter than light---in search of you.

# The Posthumous Works of Ann Eliza Bleecker/To the same (3)

Dear brother, to these happy shades repair, And leave, Oh leave the city's noxious air: I'll try description, friend---methinks I see 'Twill influence your curiosity.
Before our door a meadow flies the eye, Circled by hills, whose summits croud the sky; The silver lily there exalts her head, And op'ning roses balmy odours spread, While golden tulips flame beneath the shade. In short, not Iris with her painted bow, Nor varied tints an evening fun can show, Can the gay colours of the flow'rs exceed, Whose glowing leaves diversify this mead: And when the blooms of Flora disappear, The weighty fruits adorn the satiate year: Here vivid cherries bloom in scarlet pride, And purple plums blush by the cherries side; The sable berries bend the pliant vines, And smiling apples glow in crimson rinds; Ceres well pleas'd, beholds the furrow'd plain, And show'rs her blessings on th' industrious swain; Plenty sits laughing in each humble cot; None wish for that which heaven gives them not, But sweet Contentment still with sober charms, Encircles us within her blissful arms; Birds unmolested chaunt their early notes, And on the dewy spray expand their throats; Before the eastern skies are streak'd with light, Or from the arch of Heaven retreats the night, The musical inhabitants of air, To praise their Maker, tuneful lays prepare. Here by a spring, whose glassy surface moves At ev'ry kiss from Zephyr of the groves, While passing clouds look brighter in the stream, Your poet sits and paints the rural scene.

# The Posthumous Works of Ann Eliza Bleecker/Written in the Retreat from Burgoyne

Was it for this, with thee a pleasing load, I sadly wander'd thro' the hostile wood; When I thought fortune's spite could do no more, To see thee perish on a foreign shore?
Oh my lov'd babe! my treasure's left behind, Ne'er sunk a cloud of grief upon my mind; Rich in my children---on my arms I bore My living treasures from the scalper's pow'r: When I sat down to rest beneath some shade, On the soft grass how innocent she play'd, While her sweet sister, from the fragrant wild, Collects the flow'rs to please my precious child; Unconscious of her danger, laughing roves, Nor dreads the painted savage in the groves.
Soon as the spires of Albany appear'd, With fallacies my rising grief I cheer'd; 'Resign'd I bear,' said I, 'heaven's just reproof, 'Content to dwell beneath a stranger's roof; 'Content my babes should eat dependent bread, 'Or by the labour of my hands be fed: 'What tho' my houses, lands, and goods are gone, 'My babes remain---these I can call my own.' But soon my lov'd Abella hung her head, From her soft cheek the bright carnation fled; Her smooth transparent skin too plainly shew'd How fierce thro' every vein the fever glow'd. ---In bitter anguish o'er her limbs I hung, I wept and sigh'd, but sorrow chain'd my tongue; At length her languid eyes clos'd from the day, The idol of my soul was torn away; Her spirit fled and left me ghastly clay!
Then---then my soul rejected all relief, Comfort I wish'd not for, I lov'd my grief: 'Hear, my Abella!' cried I, 'hear me mourn, 'For one short moment, oh! my child return; 'Let my complaint detain thee from the skies, 'Though troops of angels urge thee on to rise.'
All night I mourn'd---and when the rising day Gilt her sad chest with his benignest ray, My friends press round me with officious care, Bid me suppress my sighs, nor drop a tear; Of resignation talk'd---passions subdu'd, Of souls serene and christian fortitude; Bade me be calm, nor murmur at my loss, But unrepining bear each heavy cross.
'Go!' cried I raging, 'stoick bosoms go! 'Whose hearts vibrate not to the sound of woe; 'Go from the sweet society of men, 'Seek some unfeeling tyger's savage den, 'There calm---alone---of resignation preach, 'My Christ's examples better precepts teach.' Where the cold limbs of gentle Laz'rus lay I find him weeping o'er the humid clay; His spirit groan'd, while the beholders said (With gushing eyes) 'see how he lov'd the dead!' And when his thoughts on great Jerus'lem turn'd, Oh! how pathetic o'er her fall he mourn'd! And sad Gethsemene's nocturnal shade The anguish of my weeping Lord survey'd: Yes, 'tis my boast to harbour in my breast The sensibilities by God exprest; Nor shall the mollifying hand of time, Which wipes off common sorrows, cancel mine.
