MRS. WILLIAM B. SEWALL,

President of the Boston Cooking School,

IN APPRECIATION OF HER HELPFUL ENCOURAGEMENT AND

UNTIRING EFFORTS IN PROMOTING THE WORK OF SCIENTIFIC

COOKERY, WHICH MEANS THE ELEVATION OF THE HUMAN RACE,

THIS BOOK IS AFFECTIONATELY DEDICATED

BΏ ǵƒŧ AǼǵƒLjǡ.

Cookery means the knowledge of Medea and of Circe and of Helen and of the

Queen of Sheba. It means the knowledge of all herbs and fruits and balms and spices, and all that is healing and sweet in the fields and groves and savory in meats. It means carefulness and inventiveness and willingness and readiness of appliances. It means the economy of your grandmothers and the science of the modern chemist; it means much testing and no wasting; it means English thoroughness and French art and Arabian hospitality; and, in fine, it means that you are to be perfectly and always ladies—loaf givers.—RǼǪƫƗƿ.
