Uniform with the Revised Edition of Common Sense in the Household.

The Dinner Year-Book.

By Marion Harland,

Author of " Common Sense in thk Household," " Breakfast*

Luncheon, and Tea," etc., etc "

One toI. 1-Jnio, 720 pages, beautifully bound in Cloth. Price $1.75. Kitchen Edition in Oil-Cloth Covers at same Price.

The Dinner Year-Book is, in its name, happily descriptive of its purposes and character. It occupies a place which, amid all the publications upon cookery - and thcii name is Legion - has never yet been occupied.

The author truly says that there have been dinner-giving books published, that is, books of menus for company dinings, " Little Dinners," for especial occasions, etc., etc.; but that she has never yet met with a practical directory of this important meal for every day in the year, In this volume she has furnished the programme in all its details, and has superintended the preparation of each dish, proceeding even to the pioper manner of serving it at table. The book has been prepared for the family, for the home of ordinary means, and it has hit the happy line where elegance and economy meet.

The most numerous testimonials to the value of Marion Harland's M Common Sense " l>ooks which the publishers have received, both in newspaper notices and in private communications, are to the effect - always expressed with some astonishment - that the directions of these receipts, actually followed, produce the promised result. We can prophesy the sam« for the new volume.

The purchaser will find that he has bought what the name purports - The Dinner Year-Book - a practical guide for the purchase of the material and preparation, serving, •ftc . of the ordinary home dinner for every day of the year. To these are added twelve company dinners, one for each month, from which a selection can be piade - according to the time of the year - equal to any occasion which will be presented to the housekeeper.

This book, however, is not valuable merely as a directory for dinners appropriate to various seasons. It contains the largest number of receipts for soups, fish, reat. vegetables, entrees of all descriptions, and desserts, ever offered to th3 American public. The material for this work has been collected with grest care both at home and abroad, representing the diligent labor of many months.

Note. - The Dinner Year Book, with six colored plates, illustrating- iwentV' tight subjects, handsomely bound in cloth, will be continued in print at the regular price, $2.2j.
