MISS ACTON'S- MODERN COOKERY
IT BOOK. For the use of Private Families,_

" The whole of Miss Acton's recipes, ' with a few trifling excep-
tions, which are scrupulously specified, are confined to such as may
be perfectly depended on, from having been proved beneath our own
roof, and under our own personal Inspection.' We add, moreover,
that the recipes are all reasonable, and never in any instance extra-
vagant, They do not bid us sacrifice ten pounds of excellent meat,
that we may get a couple of quarts of gravy from it ; nor do they
deal with butter and eggs as if they cost nothing. Miss Acton's
book is a good book in every way: there is right-mindedness in
every page of it, as well as thorough knowledge and experience of the
subjects she handles."—Medieal Gazette.
