THE CHOICE and COOKERY of FISH: 



1 a Practical Treatise. By Piscator. 



This is one of the most useful volumes of the kind ever 

 imd. We find in it concise and lucid directions, both as re- 

 mri* the selection of fish and the dressing of it. Now, these two 

 fsbjccss have often been treated by various writers, but. we have 

 HUT met with a work so thoroughly clear on the matters of 

 fid. nor so mentally pleasing in the rendering of those matters 

 of fret. Piscator not only enlivens with culinary tactics, but he 

 liUmln with a graphic sufficiency of natural history relative to 

 ttt. With the salmon and the sprat, the mackerel and the 

 umc1. the conger and the crab, the turbot and the tench, he is 

 tqiilly at home. He seems to be cognisant of all processes 

 teteecn the shoal in the fishing-boat nnd the sauce in the butter- 

 tat He can tell you the best management of a white shark and 

 ttemst delicate condiment for a red herring. We beg to say 

 tkttbe ladies of onr household are so satisfied with Piscator 1 s 

 igmtble and sensible edification that the volume has been ap- 

 pwpritted by them, and on the warrant of this we cordially corn- 

 Bud the book to all who like a fish dinner in perfection."— Sun.
