Transcriber's note:
Variations in spelling, punctuation and hyphenation have been
retained except in obvious cases of typographical error or
where in conflict with the index.
Potatoe on page 173 has been changed to potato on grounds of
consistency.
A redundant "the" has been removed from "not hot at first,
lest the it should crack" on p101.
There are numerous references to the receipt for "tea biscuit"
which does not appear in the book.
The original did not include a table of contents. One has been
added.
