are most thoroughly impressed on the due

to make the grand tour, upon which Jour

of cookery, and methods of eating and
drinking luxuriously. Before his return

possession ola very large monied fortune.
and a small landed estate. He was now
able to look over his notes Of epicurism,
and TO discover where the most exquisite
dishes were to be had, and the best cooks
procured. He had no other servants 10
his house than men cooks: his butler, foot
man, housekeeper, coachman and grooms,
were all cooks. He had three Italian
cooks. one from Florence, another from
Vienna, and third from Fiterbo, for dres-
sing one dish, the dOcce piccaHte of Flor
ence. He had a messenger constantly on
the Road between Brittany and London.
