now In use in the Queens Palacss Of 81.
James, Remington, Hampton Court, ar
Windsor In his preface the author
says the idea Of "preparing the appetites
Of guests by giving 'em beforehand q
short bill OF fare" was original with MIN.
Ills chief aim In presenting the to1k 70
the world Is, he says. ito represents the
grandeur of the English court and nation
BY an instance which lay mot within my
view and province; the magntnoenoe, l
mean, Of these publick regales, made on
the more solemn occasions OF admitting
Princes to their thrones, peers to their
honours am bassa Iors to their audience, .

The author follows practice by no
means uuc ommon nowadays In declaring
that all previous books on this subjecs
are 'impracticabls, whimsical or unpala-
table, unless to depraved palates. With
this shot Mt his oonfreres the author mag
unanimously proceeds TO publish abroad

word, could not have been much In

of his work upon which the author most
pridss himsslf Is his medical receipts.
FOR consumption he prssoribss:
Take an old red Cock from Barn

quarter him and wish clean cloths wipe
