At the end of the book I have put a few
recipes which I have no doubt will appear
dull, but, in spite of adverse opinion, I
believe that there are manv children to
whom it is a real pleasure to have it in
their power to do a kindness to those who
are ill. I have therefore added a few very
simple recipes suitable for sick people, and
I am quite sure that some of my readers
will be very glad to know how to make
gruel, &c., properly. I know that if they
master them thoroughly, there will come a
day when they will find the knowledge
useful.
