“The observations of so clever a woman, who carries her head with her upon her travels and ventures to make use of all her faculties, are worth writing about and reading about, and this particular traveller has the good gift of so writing about them that the reading is a constant and unfailing source of pleasure.”—Evangelist.
“Those who are going abroad will find this volume a delightful companion by the way; while those who are compelled to stay at home will find it the best possible substitute for the pleasure of foreign travel as proved by actual experience.”—N. Y. Evening Post.

Transcriber’s Notes:
Obvious punctuation errors repaired. Varied hyphenation retained where a majority could not be ascertained as in cocoanut and cocoa-nut; cream-tartar and cream tartar. Text uses both “preserves” and “preserved” in the index where our usage would usually be “preserves.”
Ditto marks for the recipes have been replaced with the actual word. In the index, they have been replaced with long dashes or words as appropriate.
Page 4, “assisttants” changed to “assistants” (young housekeepers’ assistants)
