Excerpt from Mrs. Rorer's New Cook Book: A Manual of Housekeeping

I have no apology to Offer for the appearance of a new book on Domestic Science, especially this one. It represents on paper The School at its period Of highest development, and the results Of hard work Of the best years of my life. Please read carefully each chapter Of instructions preceding the recipes, for herein lies the great value Of the work. I have not compiled a recipe book, but have made a complete new book telling the things one needs to know about cooking, living, health, and the easiest and best way Of housekeeping. It is a book Of general household knowledge.

A great change in the methods Of living has taken place in America during the last few years. There was a time in the memory Of teachers yet quite young when schools Of cookery were places where persons were taught to make all sorts Of fancy, Odd and occasionally used dishes. In fact, to succeed with these elaborate dys peptic-producing concoctions was the highest ambition.
