    MISS LESLIE'S

    NEW

    COOKERY BOOK.

    One Volume, 652 pages, bound. Price $1.25.


T. B. Peterson, No. 102 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, has just
published MISS LESLIE'S "NEW COOKERY BOOK." It comprises new and
approved methods of preparing all kinds of Soups, Fish, Oysters, Beef,
Mutton, Veal, Pork, Venison, Ham and Bacon, Poultry and Game, Terrapins,
Turtle, Vegetables, Sauces, Bread, Pickles, Sweetmeats, Plain Cakes,
Fine Cakes, Pies, Plain Desserts, Fine Desserts, Preparations for the
Sick, Puddings, Confectionery, Rice, Indian Meal Preparations of all
kinds, Miscellaneous Receipts, etc. etc. Also, lists of all articles in
season suited to go together for breakfasts, dinners, and suppers, to
suit large or small families, and much useful information and many
miscellaneous subjects connected with general housewifery.

This work will have a very extensive sale, and many thousand copies will
be sold, as all persons that have had Miss Leslie's former works, should
get this at once, as _all the receipts in this book are new_, and have
been fully tried and tested by the author since the publication of her
former books, _and none of them whatever are contained in any other work
but this_. It is the most complete Cook Book published in the world; and
also the latest and best, as in addition to Cookery of all kinds and
descriptions, its receipts for making cakes and confectionery are
unequalled by any other work extant.

This new, excellent, and valuable Cook Book is published by T. B.
Peterson, under the title of "MISS LESLIE'S NEW COOKERY BOOK," and is
entirely different from any other work on similar subjects, under any
other names, by the same author. It is an elegantly printed duodecimo
volume, of 652 pages; and in it there will be found _hundreds of
Receipts_--all useful--some ornamental--and all invaluable to every
lady, miss, or family in the world.

_From the Philadelphia Dollar Newspaper._

     "This is a large, well-bound volume of near seven hundred
     pages, and includes in it hundreds of receipts never before
     published in any of Miss Leslie's other works, accompanied by a
     well-arranged index, by which any desired receipt may be turned
     to at once. The receipts are for cooking all kinds of meats,
     poultry, game, pies, &c., with directions for confectionery,
     ices, and preserves. It is entirely different from any former
     work by Miss Leslie, and contains new and fresh accessions of
     useful knowledge. The merit of these receipts is, that they
     have all been tried, and therefore can be recommended
     conscientiously. Miss Leslie has acquired great reputation
     among housekeepers for the excellence of her works on cookery,
     and this volume will doubtless enhance it. _It is the best book
     on cookery that we know of_, and while it will be useful to
     matrons, to young housewives we should think it quite
     indispensable. By the aid of this book, the young and
     inexperienced are brought nearly on a footing with those who
     have seen service in the culinary department, and by having it
     at hand are rendered tolerably independent of _help_, which
     sometimes becomes very refractory. The best regulated families
     are sometimes taken a little by surprise by the untimely
     stepping in of a friend to dinner--to such, Miss Leslie is the
     friend indeed, ready as her book is with instructions for the
     hasty production of various substitutes for meals requiring
     timely and elaborate preparation."


_From the Philadelphia Daily News._

     "To the housekeeper, the name of Miss Leslie is a guaranty that
     what comes from her hand is not only orthodox, but good; and to
     the young wife about to enter upon the untried scenes of
     catering for a family, _Miss Leslie's New Cookery Book_ may be
     termed a blessing. It presents receipts, (and practical ones
     too,) for preparing and cooking all kinds of soups, fish,
     oysters, meats, game, cakes, pastry, and indeed everything
     which enters into the economy of housekeeping. Their
     recommendations are that they are all practical, and the novice
     of the culinary art may enter upon her important duties with
     '_Miss Leslie's New Cookery Book_' by her side, with perfect
     confidence that the 'soup' will not be spoiled, and that the
     dinner will be what is designed. How many disappointments could
     be avoided, how many domestic difficulties prevented, and how
     many husbands made happy, instead of miserable, by the use of
     this '_vade mecum_,' we shall not pretend to say; but as we
     have a sincere regard for every lady who reads the _News_, our
     advice to them all is, by all means to buy _Miss Leslie's New
     Cookery Book_.
