THOMAS F. DE VOE, 
AUTHOR OP "THE MARKET BOOK," ETC. 
ILLUSTRATED. 
The object of this volume is to present that which may 
bo found practically useful us well us interesting. It aims 
at bringing together, in as small compass as possible, 
ami in a form easy of reference, those items of informa- 
tion which many would desire to possess when called 
upon to cater for the household. In order fully lo carry 
out the practie.il views hero indicated, tin- work is di- 
vided into several headings ; all of winch, however, har- 
monize into one connecting form, " What we 'Eat" Do- 
mestic, or Tame Animals; Wild Animals, or Animal 
Game; Poultry; Wild .Fowl and Buds, or Bird Came; 
Pish; Vegetables; Pot and Medicinal Herbs; Fruits 
and Nuts; Dairy and Household Products, etc. 
The author 1ms gleaned what he deems the useful, from 
the daily wants, and Hie common expressions of almosi 
every home. " Wh:ii shall we have to-day for dinner? 11 
" What is there in our markets tit Lo eat ':'" "What kinds of 
meats, poultry, game, fish, vegetables, and Quits arc in 
season V '"What names are given to Hie different joints 
of meats, and whai dishes are they severally andgener- 
ally used for?" These, and many other similar ques- 
tions are often discussed, with no one to an answer. 
For this book it is claimed that it contains a com- 
prehensive reply to all queries of this nature. 
In order the more fully to carry out the views the author 
lias entertained in relation to the various articles of 
food, he has used as illustrations the outlined diagram 
figures of Biich animals as are usually portioned out and 
sold by the public market butchers, with the various 
names, given with the accompanying engraved cuts of 
the principal joints. These are intended to assist in 
their recognition when called for, as well as to aid in ren- 
dering perfect the dishes commonly made from them. 
After the Butcher's Meals will be found a brief de- 
scriptionof other articles of food, with the periods of 
their season or when considered best ; also instructions 
to guide in judging of and selecting them in the 
various public market-places.

NOTICES BY THE PRESS. 
This book is a valuable manual for everybody who 
feeds ehiekeiis or sells eggs. It suits at once the plain 
poulterer who must make the business pay, and the chick- 
en fancier whose taste is for gay plumage, and strange, 
blight birds. The most valuable portion is the first sec- 
tion, extending through fifty-five pages. These were writ- 
ten with the intention of producing a manual so plain, 
minute, and practical, that any one could, by using it as a 
guide, with no previous experience with poultry, become 
.11 once successful in producing eggs, young chickens, and 
fat fowls for market. The author has not missed his aim. 
The middle parts of Mr. Wright's Manual are taken np 
with minute direction : for making show fowls for Fairs, 
a nice discussion of the good and bad points of the dif- 
ferent breeds, and a brief sketch of such fancy stock as 
peafowl, pheasants, and water-fowl. Then follows a 
section on artificial hatching, and another, worth special 
attention, on large poultry yard- A study of Mr. 
Wright's book will convince any farmer's wife that all 
she needs is to give a half hour each day, of intelligent 
and sagacious attention to her poultry, in order to obtain 
from them, not tape, and knitting needles, and buttons, 
and nutmegs merely, but the family supplies of sugar, 
shoes, and cloth. New York Tribune. 
It is the most complete and valuable work on the mat- 
ter- of which it treats yet published. It will be found a 
plain and sufficient guide to any onein any circumstances 
likely to occur, and is illustrated with elegant engravings 
of many breeds of fowls. Farmers' 1 ab&net. 
Tlii-^ is a reprint, with numerous wood engravings, of 
an English book, the object of which is to convey in 
plain language a great deal of practical information about 
the breeding and management of poultry, whether for 
domestic use, the markets, or exhibition The book is 
eminently practical, and wo recommend it to farmers and 
others interested in breeding and selling poultry. 
Philadelphia Pre*:. 
It is a handsome volume, brought out in the best style, 
and enriched with near fifty illustrations. It is evidently 
the fruit of a thorough, practical experience and knowl- 
edge of fowls, and will be found a plain and sufficient 
guide in all the practical details of poultry management 
as a profitable business. United Presbyterian. 
The subject is treated fully and ably by an experienced 
hand, and the volume will doubtless find a large sale 
among the growing class of ponltry fanciers. It is em- 
bellished with numerous illustrative engravings.
