places of public entertainment. which
leaped at once into immense popular
favor, inasmuch as previously, while
the French people We're endowed with
the instincts of delicate cookery, they
were unable to crafty their tastes
through the absence of resorts availa-
BILE for the purpose.
The proprietOrs of many of these es.
adjustments quickly acquired a wide
spread fame and large wealth. Coin
cident with the birth of the restaurant
in France, an immense impulse was
given to the publication Of popular
treatises on the art of cookery com
