Webster's Progressive Speaker: A Very Fine Selection of the Most Admirable ...

Containing Plain and Economic Styles of Dressing and Cooking every
kind of Fish, Flesh, Fowl, and Vegetable, in the most Healthful and Inviting
Manner. With full Directions for Laying and Decorating the table; Carving
the Meat, and serving the Vegetables and the Desert. To which is added, a
large number of Tried Receipts for Preserving, Canning, and Curing all
sorts of Vegetables and Fruits, so as to retain their original flavor and ap.
pearance.

By MRS. N. ORR.

The aim of the author of De Witt's Connecticut Cook Book has been
to strip the art of cooking of all useless preparations, and all the unmeaning
jargon of the cuisine; and to write in a plain, common-sense way, giving
only directions that have been tried and not found wanting. The directions
for Cooking and Preserving described in these pages have been fully tested
by actual personal experience, and have never failed to produce the best
tasting as well as the best looking dishes that can be placed upon the table.
Let any housewife follow the directions, and, our word for it, good digestion
will surely "wait on appetite."

This book contains over 200 pages, bound in boards, with a splen-
