This book while complete in itself, and a trustworthy guide in all household mat-
ters, is more especially designed as a Supplement to "Practical Housekeeping'' pub-
lished first in 1876, and in 1889 revised and enlarged by many additions, under the
title of "The New Buckeye Cook Book," in a grand volume of nearly 1300 pages.
This last is a complete cyclopedia of household affairs, containing all of "Practical
Housekeeping," and as much more, equally practical and useful. The additions, with
much more new and valuable matter, have been separated, at the request of many of
the half million owners of "Practical Housekeeping," and now appear in this volume,
which, we trust will prove as useful as its predecessor. The full page illustrations
are all engraved from famous paintings, the subjects of which are iappropriate to this
book, and will add to the interest of its pages.

To those who possess 'Tractical Housekeeping," it is not neces.
sary to o£fer an apology for presenting in another volume such new
ideas and methods as have come to light, and after fair trial been
found useful and helpful in the household since the publication of
that book. It is always a great pleasure to a housewife who takes
pride in a well ordered home and an attractive table, to be able to
present new and wholesome dishes, and it is as important for her to
have the latest and best information available in her department of
the family work, as it is for the husband to keep abreast with all the
new ideas which are brought to surface in his profession or calling.
Such wonderful progress has been made in invention and scientific
discoveiy, that the day laborer now has at his command more of the
conveniences and comforts of life than the Kings themselves pos-
sessed fifty years ago, and yet instead of calling a halt, progress in
this direction is more and more marked every year, so that what
were the luxuries of one decade become the necessities of the next.
