This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1887 edition. Excerpt: ...of Lardner's Cabinet Cyclopcedia. Open Bacon's Philosophical Works, and the most conspicuous page you see is inscribed Modern Cookery for Private Families. Try his Literary and Professional Works, and you find in letters not less pre-eminently conspicuous, Moore's National Airs, and Moore's Irish Melodies.

He admitted it was a queer dish, and read aloud the titles for the benefit of Whidbourne: I found a few days afterwards that my friend had, with his excellent memory, been quoting from Spedding's Publishers and Authors. ' The Lives of Jonathan Wyld, Blueskin, and Shepherd.' ' The Duty of Women.' 'The London Bawd.' ' Ladies' Religion.' Bunyan's ' Vision of the World to Come.' ' Academy of Compliments.' 'Accomplished Ladies' Rich Cabinet.' Aristotle's ' Masterpiece.' ' Artemidorus of Dreams.' ' Art of Money Catching.' ' Garden of Love.' ' Hearts' Ease.' ' Hocuspocus.' Hooker's ' Poor Doubting Christian. ' Ladies' Delight.' ' History of Madam St. Phaile.' ' Oxford Poets--Posie of Godly Prayers.' ' The Compleate Servant Maid.' ' Crumbs of Comfort.' ' Grapes for Saints.'...
