Dalgairns's 1,434 receipts, and then "tire and begin again."
Our respected editress assures us that "every receipt has either been
actually tried by the author, or by persons whose accuracy in the various
_manipulations_[3] could be safely relied on."
[3] This is an unlucky word for a cookery book. Why not say
operations? Mrs. D. Mrs. D! you have not escaped the scientific
mania that is mounting from area to attic throughout this
country. Such a term as _manipulation_ sounds well enough in Mr.
Brande's laboratory at the Royal Institution, but would be quite
out of place in the kitchen of either of the hotels in the same
street. A footman might as well study the polarization of light
whilst cleaning the drawing-room windows.
From a table of contents we learn that among them there are the following
methods:--
Soups 105
