_Read what the Editor of the Dollar Newspaper says about it._
"The authoress of this work long enjoyed great celebrity with the best
families in Philadelphia as the most thoroughly informed lady in her
profession in this country. Her Establishment, on Ninth above Spruce
street, has long enjoyed the patronage of the best livers in our city.
The receipts cover almost every variety of cake or dish, and every
species of cooking. One great advantage which this book enjoys over
almost every other is the simplicity with which the ingredients are set
forth, and the comparatively moderate cost at which particular receipts
may be got up. In most cook books the directions cover so large a cost,
that to common livers the directions had almost as well not be given.
This objection has been measurably removed in this new volume. Another
important matter is, no receipts are contained in it but those fully
tested, not only by the author, but by cooks and housekeepers most
competent to judge. The volume opens with directions for soup, for fish,
oysters, meat, poultry, etc. In addition to all this, much attention has
been given to directions for the preparation of dishes for the sick and
convalescent. Mr. Peterson has issued the volume in handsome style,
wisely, as we think, using large type and good paper. The book is sold
at, or will be sent to any part of the Union, free of postage, on
receipt of One Dollar."

"A number of good books on this subject have been published lately, but
this is unquestionably the best that we have ever seen Its superiority
is in the clearness, and brevity, and the practical directness of the
receipts; they are easily understood and followed. The book looks like
what it is, the ripe fruit of many years' successful practice. The
establishment of Mrs. Widdifield has for many years held the first rank
in Philadelphia for the unvarying excellence of every article there
made; and now she crowns her well deserved celebrity by giving to the
world _the best book that has been written on the subject of cookery_.
The clear type in which the publisher presents it is no slight addition
to its value."

"A Valuable Work.--Next to having something to eat is having it cooked
in a style fit to be eaten. Every housekeeper does not understand this
art, and, probably, only for want of a little elementary teaching. This
want is easily supplied, for T. B. Peterson has just published Mrs.
Widdifield's New Cook Book, in which the experience of that celebrated
person in this line is given so clearly and with such precise details,
that any housekeeper of sufficient capacity to undertake the management
of household affairs, can make herself an accomplished caterer for the
table without serving an apprenticeship to the business. The book is
published in one volume, the typography good, and paper excellent, with
as much real useful information in the volume as would be worth a dozen
times its price. Get it at once."
