Excerpt from The National Cook Book
The thousand recipes in this volume represent seven years of accumulation and selection of material which we believe will be of value to our sister housekeepers. We have collected these recipes from all quarters of the globe, and adapted them to the American kitchen, making patient test of each before admitting it to our store of available matter.
Circumstances have brought both of us into constant and close association with housewives all over this dear land of ours. We have made them, their needs, their ambitions, and their capabilities, a study, and in offering The National Cook Book to them, have more than a mere author's interest in our readers. They are our fellow-workers and friends. Recollections of the gracious acceptance they have accorded to former works have cheered us in the endeavor to prepare the very best Manual of Practical Cookery ever put upon the American market.
We bespeak for it a fair trial in the hundreds of thousands of homes and kitchens in which "Common Sense in the Household" has found a loving welcome and has proved itself a trustworthy friend.
