"The whole of Miss Acton''i recipes' with a few trifliiig exceptiovs, which arescrupulomty 

 specified, are confined to such as may be perfectly depended on, from having been proved 

 beneath our own roof, and under our own personal in>-pection.'' We add, moreover, that the 

 recipes are alt reasonable, and never in any instance extravagant. They do not bid us 

 sacrifice ten pounds of eacellent meat, that we may get a couple of qttarts of gravy from it; 

 nor do they deal with butter and eggs as if they cost nothing. Miss Acton's book is a good 

 book in every way ; there is right-mindedness in every page of it, as well as thorough know- 

 ledge and experience of the subjects she Aa/irf/^*."— Medical Gazette.
