A New Collection of Standard Fresh and Original Receipts for Household and Commercial Use. ———— By AN AMERICAN ———— 1 Vol., 12mo, - - Price, $1.50. ————
Fond as Americans are of Ice-Cream and Ices, there has never been a book giving directions for the preparation of the various forms of iced dainties, some of which are quite unknown in this country, or are only procurable from the best confectioners of our large cities. This book contains the fruit of many years’ experience and experiment, together with a description of the processes followed by the great French and Italian confectioners.
More than a hundred different receipts for Ice-Creams and Water Ices are given, with rules for preparing all the various flavorings. The directions are both minute and systematic, and being the production of a person of education and refinement, specially qualified for the task, the work will be found to be thoroughly accurate and complete in all points. Any capable housewife, with the resources of a well-equipped kitchen, will be able to follow the directions given, without difficulty and with certainty of success.
Extreme care has been taken to avoid ambiguity and looseness of statement, the exact amount of an ingredient is always stated, so that the most inexperienced cannot go astray. The various utensils necessary are described, and full advice given as to their use.
Following this section is a collection of receipts for Cake, embracing several hundred different sorts, many of them new and original, and all carefully tested and of prime excellence. Some of these receipts have hitherto been the property of individuals by whom they were sold singly at a high price. The book, as a whole, contains a greater number of original and choice receipts for ice-cream and cakes than any other in existence. It will be found indispensable wherever choice and dainty cookery is appreciated.

“The air of elegance and taste which first breathes upon us from the cover, and comes as with a spicy aroma from the title-page, pervades every feature of the book—paper and type, text and illustration—from beginning to end; indeed, no work of the kind, which has yet appeared in this country, quite equals it in a certain combination of richness and simplicity.”—The N. Y. Tribune.
“The text and illustrations have also the unmistakable stamp of original investigation and independent feeling for the tasteful and refined in household decoration.”—The N. Y. Times.
“The charm of it lies deeper than in paper surface and letter-press and graver’s lines; and wherever it goes it will educate, inspire and refine.”—The Literary World.
“It is one of the most practical and useful books of its kind, and hits exactly the wants of to-day.”—Hartford Courant.
“Mr. Cook’s book—it seems as if any dwelling, no matter how humble, might make itself to blossom with touches of real beauty by the following of some of his wise suggestions.”—The Congregationalist.
“The book is a beautiful one, and it will be a treasure in the hands of all who can appreciate the beautiful, and are asking the important question—‘How shall we furnish our homes?’”—Christian at Work.
“Mr. Cook is not a slave to any one style of furniture or furnishing.”—Cincinnati Gazette.
“In the simple adoption of the means to the end to be reached will be found the true artistic elegance and comfort. We commend this volume to the perusal of all who are interested in making home-life beautiful.”—Baltimore Gazette.

Uniform with the Revised Edition of Common Sense in the Household. ————————
THE DINNER YEAR-BOOK.
By MARION HARLAND, Author of “Common Sense in the Household,” “Breakfast, Luncheon, and Tea,” etc., etc. ———————— One vol. 12mo, 720 pages, beautifully bound in Cloth. Price $1.75. Kitchen Edition in Oil-Cloth Covers at same Price. ————————
The Dinner Year-Book is, in its name, happily descriptive of its purposes and character. It occupies a place which, amid all the publications upon cookery—and their name is Legion—has never yet been occupied.
The author truly says that there have been dinner-giving books published, that is, books of menus for company dinings, “Little Dinners,” for especial occasions, etc., etc.; but that she has never yet met with a practical directory of this important meal for every day in the year. In this volume she has furnished the programme in all its details, and has superintended the preparation of each dish, proceeding even to the proper manner of serving it at table. The book has been prepared for the family, for the home of ordinary means, and it has hit the happy line where elegance and economy meet.
The most numerous testimonials to the value of Marion Harland’s “Common Sense” books which the publishers have received, both in newspaper notices and in private communications, are to the effect—always expressed with some astonishment—that the directions of these receipts, actually followed, produce the promised result. We can prophesy the same for the new volume.
The purchaser will find that he has bought what the name purports—The Dinner Year-Book—a practical guide for the purchase of the material and preparation, serving, etc. of the ordinary home dinner for every day of the year. To these are added twelve company dinners, one for each month, from which a selection can be made—according to the time of the year—equal to any occasion which will be presented to the housekeeper.
This book, however, is not valuable merely as a directory for dinners appropriate to various seasons. It contains the largest number of receipts for soups, fish, meat, vegetables, entrees of all descriptions, and desserts, ever offered to the American public. The material for this work has been collected with great care both at home and abroad, representing the diligent labor of many months.
Note.—The Dinner Year-Book, with six colored plates, illustrating twenty-eight subjects, handsomely bound in cloth, will be continued in print at the regular price, $2.25.

“The charm of these nearly perfect stories lies in their exquisite simplicity and most tender humor.”—Philadelphia Times.
By FRANK R. STOCKTON. ———————— One Volume, 16mo, Extra Cloth, $1.25. Paper, 60 cents. ————————
“Humor like this is perennial.”—Washington Post.
“Mr. Stockton has rare gifts for this style of writing, and has developed in these papers remarkable genius.”—Pittsburgh Gazette.
“A certain humorous seriousness over matters that are not serious surrounds the story, even in its most indifferent parts, with an atmosphere, an aroma of very quaint and delightful humor.”—N. Y. Evening Post.
“Mr. Stockton’s vein of humor is a fresh and rich one, that affords pleasure to mature people as well as to young ones. Thus far, ‘Rudder Grange’ is his best effort.”—Philadelphia Bulletin.
“Rudder Grange is an ideal book to take into the country for summer reading.”—Portland Press.
“Rudder Grange is really a very delightful piece of fooling, but, like all fooling that is worth the while, it has point and purpose.”—Phil. Telegraph.
“The odd conceit of making his young couple try their hands at house-keeping first in an old canal boat, suggests many droll situations, which the author improves with a frolicsome humor that is all his own.”—Worcester Spy.
“There is in these chapters a rare and captivating drollery. . . . We have had more pleasure in reading them over again than we had when they first appeared in the magazine.”—Congregationalist.

Y. Tribune.

One volume, 12mo, - - - - $1.75
————————
Books of travel have multiplied of late years almost in a direct ratio to the increased facilities for journeying, and it may be said that the quality has also proportionately improved. We have works profusely adorned with superb illustrations, and others without pictorial embellishments, relying for their attractiveness on the charm of a skilled pen and the freshness of first impressions. Such a book is LOITERINGS IN PLEASANT PATHS, by “Marion Harland,” whose Common Sense books have made her name a household word in every part of the land.
——————————
“These ‘familiar talks from afar’ are no fancy sketches, but actual experiences and impressions of a shrewd observer, whose mind was enriched and fully prepared to observe accurately and write intelligently and profitably. Marion Harland always writes books with a purpose, and the present volume is no exception to her rule.”—Chicago Inter-Ocean.
“The observations of so clever a woman, who carries her head with her upon her travels and ventures to make use of all her faculties, are worth writing about and reading about, and this particular traveller has the good gift of so writing about them that the reading is a constant and unfailing source of pleasure.”—Evangelist.
“Those who are going abroad will find this volume a delightful companion by the way; while those who are compelled to stay at home will find it the best possible substitute for the pleasure of foreign travel as proved by actual experience.”—N. Y. Evening Post.
