--what more can mortal man desire, "nay, or women either." Appended to them
is much valuable information concerning the poultry-yard, dairy, brewery,
kitchen-garden, bees, pigs, &c. so as to render this _Practice of Cookery_
a truly useful and treasurable system of domestic management, and a book of
matters-of-fact and experience. The subject is too melting--too tempting
for us to resist paying this tribute to Mrs. Dalgairns's volume.

"CLOUDS AND SUNSHINE."
An appropriate _April_ book, too controversial for extensive quotation in
our pages, as the enumeration of its contents will prove. They are
half-a-dozen gracefully written sketches, viz. the Gipsy Girl, Religious
Offices, Enthusiasm, Romanism, Rashness, and De Lawrence. Half of these
papers, as will readily be guessed from their titles, bear upon "the
question," and are consequently, as the publishers say, "not in our way."
We are, nevertheless, proud to aver that the sentiments of these chapters
are highly honourable to the heart of the writer as they are creditable to
his good taste and ability.
