PREFACE. 



At this the sporting season of the year, I venture 

 to offer to the pubHc another of my Httle series in 

 the form of Dressed Game and Poultry. No doubt 

 many of the recipes are well known, but it has 

 been my aim to collect from all the culinary pre- 

 serves such recipes that from personal experience 

 I know to be good. All the known and unknown 

 tomes on the gourmet's art have been consulted, 

 and I have to thank the authors for this assistance 

 to my work, as well as those cordons bleus from 

 whom I have practically learnt some few of them. 

 I shall be very pleased to correspond with any 

 of my readers who may wish to discourse on 

 matters relative to the dinner table and its adjuncts, 

 floral decorations among the number.
