Dick's Encyclopedia of Practical Receipts and Processes. 



Containing over 6,400 Receipts; embracing thorough information, in plain 

 language, applicable to almost every possible industrial and domestic re- 

 quirement. The scope of this work is different from any other book of the 

 kind. The contents of the Encyclopedia are collated from works on the 

 various subjects by authors of eminence in their respective branches, divested 

 of techniealitcs, simplified and illustrated by diagrams, where necessary, so 

 as to make the whole plain and intelligible to the uninitiated. This work 

 presents a complete and indispensable book for the household, farm, garden, 

 &c. ; including instructions as to what to do and how to do it, in case of all 

 accidents, contingencies, and ailments of daily life. It also affords a valua- 

 ble Book of Reference for the Druggist, enabling him to make up a number 

 of " Sundries," especially Toilet Soaps, Dentifrices, Cosmetics, and Perfum- 

 ery; also specific Medicines and Remedies derived from the practice of 

 eminent Physicians, or from various European officinal sources ; thus forming 

 a useful and desirable adjunct to the United States Pharmacopoeia. It 

 enables the Grocer to prepare his own Flavoring Extracts, Vinegar, and a 

 host of other articles, cheaper and better than he can purchase them ; and 

 to test the quality of some of the Goods that he buys and sells. To the 

 Liquor Dealer it gives the best and latest methods of treating and improv- 

 ing his liquors ; of preparing Cordials, &c. ; of making, managing, and bot- 

 tling all kinds of Wiues, Cider, &c., it lays before the workman the results 

 obtained by the experiments and experience of the masters of his trade. 

 In fact it is almost useless to attempt un enumeration of the advantages of 

 this work, as there is scarcely a branch of Industry that may not derive 

 information and profit from its pages. The Index of this work occupies 42 

 three-column pages, in small type. COO pages, royal octavo, cloth.

The Parlor Stage, A Collection of Drawing-room Proveros, 

 Charades and Tableaux Vivants. By Miss S. A. Frost. The authoress of 

 this attractive volume has performed her task with skill, talent, and we 

 might say, with genius ; for the Acting Charades and Proverbs are really 

 minor dramas of a high order of merit. There are twenty -four of them, and 

 fourteen Tableaux, all of which are excellent. The characters are admira- 

 bly drawn, well contrasted, and the plots and dialogues deeply interesting. 

 35b pages, small 8vo, cloth, gilt side and back, beveled edges. Price $1.50
