er of good books on this subject have been published lately, but
this is unquestionably the best that we have ever seen Its superiority
is in the clearness, and brevity, and the practical directness of the
receipts; they are easily understood and followed. The book looks like
what it is, the ripe fruit of many years' successful practice. The
establishment of Mrs. Widdifield has for many years held the first rank
in Philadelphia for the unvarying excellence of every article there
made; and now she crowns her well deserved celebrity by giving to the
world _the best book that has been written on the subject of cookery_.
The clear type in which the publisher presents it is no slight addition
to its value."

_Read what the Editor of the Public Ledger says of it._

"A Valuable Work.--Next to having something to eat is having it cooked
in a style fit to be eaten. Every housekeeper does not understand this
art, and, probably, only for want of a little elementary teaching. This
want is easily supplied, for T. B. Peterson has just published Mrs.
Widdifield's New Cook Book, in which the experience of that celebrated
person in this line is given so clearly and with such precise details,
that any housekeeper of sufficient capacity to undertake the management
of household affairs, can make herself an accomplished caterer for the
table without serving an apprenticeship to the business. The book is
published in one volume, the typography good, and paper excellent, with
as much real useful information in the volume as would be worth a dozen
times its price. Get it at once."
