 such ineffable charm, or so arresting an interest in every one of its pages." — 



Nottingham Guardian.

 Violet Martineau's book have been preserved and given to the world at large. 

 They are all worth reading, especially those that tell us about Charles

A MANUAL OF COOKERY. 



By the late FLORENCE A. GEORGE, 



AUTHOR OF "king EDVVARIj's COOKERY BOOK," "VEGETARIAN COOKKRV," ETC. 



Crown Svo. 8s. 6d. net. 



Miss George's small cookery books are well-known to thou- 

 sands of housewives, and have had a long career of popularity. 

 She had been engaged for some time in writing a more compre- 

 hensive work, but succumbed to a fatal illness before it was 

 completed. The MSS. has now been finished and carefully 

 edited by Miss Irene Davison, and the book will be found an 

 admirable manual for family use in every respect. 



It opens with a valuable introduction on household routine, 



giving details of daily and weekly work in different departments. 



The kitchen and scullery, the larder, and the storeroom are then 



dealt with. Marketing and the choice of foods are not forgotten 



among other matters of great importance to the housekeeper. 



The bulk of the work is of course composed of recipes, arranged 



under different headings, and it is for the practical excellence of 



her recipes, and the clearness with which they are described, that 



Miss George's work has always been conspicuous. The volume 



concludes with a chapter on the service of meals, and some 



samples of menus, and is provided with a full index. 



"Of inestimable value for its wide range of useful information, and indis- 

 pensable to the economic housewife." — Western Mail. 



"All that the good housewife needs to know about the culinary art is 

 excellentl\- compacted in ' A Manual of Cookery ' by the late Miss Florence A. 

 George, wlioseprevious work on a smaller scale has enjoyed wide popularity."
