FOOTNOTES:
[A] "A Biographical Dictionary of Distinguished Women."
[B] The rural population of America is now over twenty millions.
[C] See "Mrs. Hale's New Cook Book."
[D] By the above method, persons not having scales and weights at hand, may readily measure the articles wanted to form any receipt, without the trouble of weighing. Allowance to be made for an extraordinary dryness or moisture of the article weighed or measured.
[E] The Nurse will find this manner of measuring liquids very convenient; to the housekeeper it will be of importance. A similar "Table of Weights and Measures" is prefixed to the "New Cook Book;" and to that work of mine the patrons of this "Receipt Book" are referred for information on all matters of "household good," not found, or not fully explained in this treatise. The two volumes are intended as family companions, and will, I trust, be usually found together.
