This book while complete in itself, and a trustworthy guide in all household matters, is more especially designed as a Supplement to "Practical Housekeeping'' published first in 1876, and in 1889 revised and enlarged by many additions, under the title of "The New Buckeye Cook Book," in a grand volume of nearly 1300 pages. This last is a complete cyclopedia of household affairs, containing all of "Practical Housekeeping," and as much more, equally practical and useful. The additions, with much more new and valuable matter, have been separated, at the request of many of the half million owners of "Practical Housekeeping," and now appear in this volume, which, we trust will prove as useful as its predecessor.
