CASSELL'S

Book of the Household.

A Valuable and Practical Work on Every Department of Household Management. _With Numerous Illustrations_.

The _Guardian_ says: "AN EXCELLENT WORK, WHICH SHOULD BE IN THE HANDS OF EVERY HOUSEKEEPER, is CASSELL'S BOOK OF THE HOUSEHOLD. Here we find the most varied information and the soundest of advice. The household, its members and their family life, are considered and discussed; children and their training, health and disease, food and clothing, furnishing, furniture, and household mechanics. The arrangement and treatment of these various subjects are admirable, and the book is certainly a most valuable and practical manual of household management."

The _Queen_ says: "A BOOK SO HANDY AND PRACTICAL OUGHT TO BE ADOPTED BY EVERY WELL-ORDERED FAMILY. Its plan is so comprehensive, it will include every part of the house and its requirements, and all the members of the family and their mutual relations, duties, and responsibilities."

The _Weekly Dispatch_ says: "We do not know of any more practical or more valuable work on household management. It is worth its weight in gold."

The _Scotsman_ says: "The first volume has appeared of a book which promises to be of great and extensive utility. It is A CYCLOPAEDIA OF INFORMATION ON ALL QUESTIONS CONNECTED WITH THE MANAGEMENT OF A HOUSEHOLD, and does not enter into comparison with books that treat merely of provisions for the table. Various hands have evidently been employed in working up the various sections, and every subject is dealt with in a thoroughly competent style. The book is admirably appointed in every respect, and contains many illustrations, all of the most useful character, and beautifully printed. EVERY ONE WHO HAS TO DO IN ANY WAY WITH THE MANAGEMENT OF A HOUSEHOLD WILL FIND THIS BOOK INVALUABLE."

The _Liverpool Mercury_ says: "CASSELL'S BOOK OF THE HOUSEHOLD is another book, of a class of which many have been issued, and good books too; but this one, by the thoroughness and comprehensiveness of its arrangement, will go far to render the housewife who possesses it independent of all the rest.... Many a housewife will find the articles interesting enough to be taken up at any leisure hour."

The _Glasgow Herald_ says: "The work promises to be the most complete thing of the kind in existence, and even the first volume by itself is a perfect household encyclopaedia."

CASSELL'S Dictionary of Cookery.

ILLUSTRATED THROUGHOUT.

CONTAINING ABOUT 9,000 RECIPES.

"CASSELL'S DICTIONARY OF COOKERY is one of the most thorough and comprehensive works of the kind. To expatiate on its abundant contents would demand pages rather than paragraphs."--_The Times_.

"One of the most handsome, practical, and comprehensive books of cookery."--_Saturday Review_.

"It seems to us that this book is absolutely what it claims to be--that is, the largest and most complete collection of the kind ever produced in this country; an encyclopaedia, in fact, of the culinary art in all its branches. It is a dictionary which should be in every household, and studied by every woman who recognises her true mission in the world."--_Christian World_.

"CASSELL'S DICTIONARY OF COOKERY is not only full of solid and valuable information as to the best method of preparing food in an endless variety of forms, but it will enable a housekeeper to grasp principles on which food may be cooked to the greatest perfection. It supplies the reason why one method is right and another wrong. An estimate of the cost of each recipe is given, which is valuable information. The recipes themselves are given in terms intelligible to the meanest capacity."--_Athenaeum_.

"CASSELL'S DICTIONARY OF COOKERY contains about 9,000 recipes, and is preceded by a treatise on the Principles of Culinary Art and Table Management, which will simply be found invaluable not only by cooks, as those most interested in such instructions, but by every mistress of a household, large or small.... The woodcuts dispersed through the pages not only illustrate some of the various species of fish, game, fruit, vegetables, and herbs to which the recipes refer, but serve to make the directions for carving more intelligible, while the coloured plates represent appetising dishes elaborately garnished, or fruit tastefully arranged, with several less inviting pictures of 'bad and good joints of meat' contrasted with each other side by side."--_Morning Post_.

"The best Cookery book extant. We know of no equal, either in the arrangement of its contents, the number of its recipes, or the elegance of its illustrations."--_York Herald_.

"Being complete, it tells us how to dress a table for the smallest dinner, but what I value more in it is that it reminds us of the simplest and cheapest of dishes, and gives their cost. There are more shilling or sixpenny preparations in this book than those of greater cost."--_Western Morning News_.
