BEETON'S (Mrs.) BOOK OF HOUSEHOLD MANAGEMENT, 



comprising every kind of Practical Information on Domestic Economy and 



Modern Cookery, with numerous Woodcuts and Coloured Illustrations. 



" Mrs. Isabella Beeton's ' Book of Household Managfement ' aims at being a compendium of 

 household duties in every grade of household life, from the mistress to the maid-of-all-work. 

 It is illustrated by numerous diagrams, exhibiting the various articles of food in their original 

 state, and th;re are also coloured plates to show how they ought to look when dished and 

 ready for the table. The verdict of a practical cook of great experience, on returning the 

 book to her mistress, was, ' Ma'am, I consider it an excellent work ; it is full of useful informa- 

 tion about everything, which is quite delightful ; and I should say any one might learn to cook 

 from it who never tried before.'" — The Athenaiitn.

BEETON'S DICTIONARY OF UNIVERSAL INFORMATION. 



A to Z, comprising Geography, Biography, History, Mythology, Biblical 

 Knowledge, Chronologj', with the Pronunciation of every Proper Name. 



"The ' Dictionary of Universal Information,' just published by Mr. S. O. Beeton, supplies a 

 desideratum much and widely felt — that of a comprehensive yet portable dictionary of proper 

 names. The ' Encyclopaedia Britannica,' the ' English Encyclopaedia,' and the other g^eat 

 digests of human knowledge, in consequence of their high price, are accessible only to a few. 

 In such works no special provision is made for supplying short and comprehensive information 

 regarding individual words, arranged in their alphabetical order, of the kind most likely to bo 

 required by the great'raass of general r^eaders. Mr. Beeton to some extent enters a new field 

 in devoting a Dictionary exclusively to proper names in Geography, History, Biography, 

 Mythologj', Bible Knowledge and Chronology. In these pages condensation has been in 

 every way sought after, and we know of no work which supplies more information at a smaller 

 cost."— r/«^ Tiitus.
