The following objects are aimed at in this work:
First , to furnish an original collection of receipts, which shall embrace a great variety of simple and well-cooked dishes, designed for every-day comfort and enjoyment.
Second , to include in the collection only such receipts as have been tested by superior housekeepers, and warranted to be the best . It is not a book made up in any department by copying from other books, but entirely from the experience of the best practical housekeepers.
Third , to express every receipt in language which is short, simple, and perspicuous, and yet to give all directions so minutely as that the book can be kept in the kitchen, and be used by any domestic who can read, as a guide in every one of her employments in the kitchen.
Fourth , to furnish such directions in regard to small dinner-parties and evening company as will enable any young housekeeper to perform her part, on such occasions, with ease, comfort, and success.
