*** As there will appear in this book some recipes which 

 might fail, if the articles required for them should not be of the 

 best quality, it has been thought necessary to give the names of 

 a few tradesmen, whom the author has reason to hope may be 

 depended on. 



Iii a work of this kind, it requires more ingenuity than the 

 writer can boast of, to avoid entirely those inimical appendages 

 to reading notes and parentheses. The frequent use of Italics, 

 also, he is aware has an ugly appearance. But, nevertheless, 

 they have before answered his object, which is to impress as 

 strongly as possible on the memory of his young readers, those 

 directions which require to be read with particular attention.
