This work is an attempt to popularise the leading prin ciples of Continental Cookery, and to show how, in an econo Inically-conducted household, a succession of agreeable Bills of Fare can be provided. All its recipes have been tested by experience, and are so given as to be intelligible of themselves, the object being not so much to provide a volume of reference for a professed cook as to explain how, with ordi nary resources, an artistic dinner can be produced. Pub lished in one vol., post 8vo., pp. 300, price 6s., free by post Es. 5d.

"A little vol, of 300 pages does not profess to be exhaustive Nor is Round the Table' a cookery book in the ordinary sense of the word; it is rather a book for the mistress of the household to read and ponder. Apart from the recipes. many of which are new and original-all of which are so carefully explained, that nothing but deliberate perversity can make the cook go wrong, and each one of which has been used in The G. C.'s' own kitchen-the value of the wark is in its wrinkles.' And there are also a hundred little bits of advice of which the British cook is in sore need, and which, trivial as they may appear, are yet very

"The G. C.' makes a tour of the dining table, and dwells artistically on all the methods by which food is made pleasing to the senses and conducive to social entertainment. The G. C.' presents us with one of the best treatises on the art of dining that we have met with. . . . The G. C. supplies a full, intelligible, and vivacious exposition of the various steps in cookery; of how to make broths, for instance, for the healthy and for the invalid; of the mysteries of boiling, frying, and roasting; of the proper treatment of vegetables. "-Lancet, July 20, 1872.

This book is a serviceable contribution to the literature of the kitchen, presenting the reader with many very valu able suggestions with regard to the art of cookery, all of which seem to be the result of practical experience. The duties of host and hostess, the method of managing ervants on special occasions, the way to manage a dinner party, and all the other et-ceteras of custom which polite dinner-giving and dinner-taking society are expected to conform to, are laid down with as much precision as the rules of Hoyle's games."-Bradford Observer.

"A Wide Place on the other Side."

Light Weight and Heavy Weight Hunters.

The Laq wno Rides in Ietticoats." The title of this volume is so eccentric that the reader wil be the more readily induced to peruse its pages, when ne will find in them that which will fully justify it, and prove that the advice should be given with or without consent. To lady equestrians, or gentlemen in the habit of keeping studs, large or small, the instructions contained therein will be found very advantageous to adopt. There are hundreds of ladies who ride to perfection, but there are some to whom such hints as are here given, might be the means of improvement. A lady's seat upon horseback is so purely an artificial and acquired position, that unless by a fortunate 'fluke,' no lady can teach herself, and, as in everything else, bad habits can be acquired-to get rid of which is a totally different matter. Hence the reason why so much attention is devoted to The Lady's Horse.' The author also deals extensively with the different classes o horses-from the Arab, the acknowledged ancestor, founder, in fact, of race horses, to the animal who carries the harness. 'Stable Reforms, The Seasons of the Year,' &c., serve to render Unasked Advice' an oracle which ought to be very liberally consulted. There are numerous engravings of horses and their riders, which give additional interest to the work."-The Western Laily Mercury, Dec. 30th, 1872,

"Here are practical hints in abundance, written in a gossiping style, upon a large number of subjects connected with riding, both for ladies and gentlemen, extending from the most minute particulars of position in riding and the proper management of a horse in the Row' or the hunting field, up to suggestions for its training and stable treat ment. Eleven engravings give additional force to the remarks of the writer by illustrating his arguments and cointing out defects which it is desirable to avoid.-Western Hampshire Independent, Dec. 28th 1872.
