LAD 1 Es,
IN C E my firſt Endeavours in this
Way, (imperfect as they were) through
your Indulgence, have met with a
very favourable Reception from the
Publick, I thought my ſelf oblig'd,
:= \{. i in Gratitude, to reviſe the former Im
º: Ł) preſſion of this Work, to digeſt it in
ſome better and more regular Method, and to improve
it, as far as in me lay, by procuring a large Number of
new, uſeful, and ſcarce Receipts, ſuch as never appear'd
in any Collečtion before, and were to be met with no
where but in the Cloſets of the Curious.
In order, therefore, to proſecute this my Deſign with
the better Succeſs; and to render this Compilement equal,
at leaſt, if aot preferable to any other hitherto extant,
tho' held up at a much higher Price; I have not only
conſulted all my Female Friends and Acquaintance, who
have diſtinguiſh'd themſelves by their good GEconomy,
and have acted for many Years in the Capacity of Houſe

iy DE DI CATION. :
keepers in private Families; but have made my Appli
cation likewiſe to ſome particular Gentlemen of indiſ
putable Judgment, who make the Art of Cookery in
general their daily Study, and publick Employment.
And fince I have had the Happineſs of their friendly Ad
vice and Aſſiſtance join'd to my own long Experience, I
flatter my ſelf that the following Sheets will be look’d
upon as 4 Compleat Syſtem of a Houſekeeper's Duty; and
that the Bills of Fare which I have here given you, by
way of Introdućtion, are ſo artfully contriv'd, ſo uſeful,
and ſo copious, that they will never be ſurpaſs'd by any
future Author on this Topick.
Give me Leave, LAD 1 Es, further to aſſure you, that
throughout the various Inſtructions here laid down for the
Preparation of the moſt faſhionable Diſhes, I have made
it my peculiar Care and Study to recommend ſuch Ingre- .
dients, as, tho' highly agreeable, might be purchaſed at
a moderate Expence, and to render, as far as the Nature
of the Thing would bear, an Elegance in Eating no ways
inconſiſtent with Frugality and good Condućt.
To conclude, and that I may not treſpaſs too far on
your Patience and good Nature, or take up too much of
your Time from the more important Affairs of your Fa
milies, I hereby ingenuouſly acknowledge, that I have
exerted all the Art and Induſtry I can boaſt of, in the
Completion of this Pocker-Book, compil'd for your
Service, and intended as your Daily Remembrancer ; and
that I am not conſcious to my ſelf of having omitted one
Article of any real Importance to be further known;
and therefore, ſuch as it now appears to be, I freely ſub
mit it to the Cenſure or Approbation of the candid and
impartial Reader. I am, with all due Submiſſion and
Reſpect,
LAD 1 Es,
Your moff humble,
and obedient Servant,

El OW lightly ſever Men ºffeem thoſe Fe
minine Arts of Government which are
practiſed in the Regulation of an Houſe
|X| hold, I may venture to aſſert, that they
-------§ are of much more intrinſick Walue than
§ ſome admired Branches of Literature;
- * fºr, to ſay the Truth, what can be really
of greater Uſe, than, by Prudence, and good Management,
to ſupply a Family with all Things that are convenient,
from a Fortune, which, without ſuch Care, would ſcarce
afford common Neceſſaries P Certainly no Art whatſºever,
relating to terreſtrial Things, ought to claim a Preference
to that which makes Life eaſy.
When the wiſºft, and moff eloquent, have ſaid all they
can, it will be found a Thing impoſſible to perſuade Men
out of the moderate and reaſonable Gratifications of their
Appetites ; a good Dinner will ever be preferable to a bad
one, and there are but few Philoſºphers, now a-days, to
be found, who are ſo abſemious, and ſo mortified to the
World, as to prefer a Diſº of Rootſ, or a ſimple Mutton
Chop, to a well-dreſs'd and elegant Entertainment. But
as it is not every one's Fortune to have a large and plenti
ful Effate, altho' at the ſame Time they want not a Deli.
cacy of Genius fitted for the Uſe of it; ſº that Species of
Oeconomy called Houſewifery comes naturally in here, in
aſmuch as it teaches how to ſupply the Deficiency of Wealth,
by dreſſing and diffoſing all Things in the mºſt elegant
Manner. 24;
The PR E F A ce.
2. As this was the main End propoſed in the compiling this
Colle&ion, ſo, without Fal/hood or Wanity, it may be aver
red, that nothing hitherto publiſhed can, in that Reſpeš,
be near ſº uſeful; for, in the firſt Place, the Receipts
are excellent in their Kind, tho', at the ſame Time, all
poſſible Care has been taken in general, to ſingle out the
Zeaſt expenſive, and the leaſt embarraſ'd : A few good
Ingredients make the beſt Diſhes, and a Crowd of rich
Things are apter to ſatiate, than to pleaſe the Palates of
thoſe who have the niceſt Taſte.
Again, the Bill of Fare is a new and admirable Con
trivance, to ſupply, at one View, the frugal Miſreſ of
a Family with a perfeół Knowledge of every Thing that
is in Seaſon ; ſo that ſhe has nothing more to do than to ſe
ief what is fitteſ for the Table; and the Receipts at firſt
Sight direct bow, and in what Manner, it may be dreſs'd,
fo as to give the greateſ Satisfaction.
The Country is the Place, where, generally, Works of
this Nature are beft received: I have therefore added an
Appendix of the moſt efficacious Preſcriptions, from the moſt
admir'd and applauded of the Faculty. Where People live
at a great Diffance from large Towns, Things of this Na
ture are, I am ſenſible, highly uſeful; and I dare beam
ſw.zable for their Safety: So that I humbly hope this Col.
le&ion, in the Form it now appears, will be deem'd A
Compleat Syſtem of good Houſewifery, allow'd by all
impartial and unprejudic'd Readers to anſwer, in all Re
ſpects, to the Title which it bears, and, conſidering the eaff
Price of it, be an acceptable Service to the Publi, k.
