    PREFACE. \ AS a duty I owe to the Public and my Friends, I feel myself indispensably called ‘upon to apologize for the many errors of different kinds which will be found in this work, and which, owing to my absence from the press, were in some measure unavoidable. »I have endeavoured to be as concise as pos- sible without being obscure, yet could not always avoid tautology, from my desire to make each article plain and easy to every capacity ; which was the more necessary, the book being intendéd for general use, but more particularly for young and_ inexperienced Cooks. |
