Excerpt from Bread, Cakes, and Biscuits Little, if any, originality is claimed for the following recipes, most of which have appeared in the Cookery columns of the Queen during the last eight or nine years, from whence they have been collected at the request Of many readers Of the Queen, to save reference to back numbers not always within reach. Additional recipes have, how ever, been given, to bring this little work as much up to date as possible; but all these, like the previous ones, have been carefully tested, and are all (as I know from practical experience) well within the capacity Of any ordinary good plain cook, gifted with fair intelligence and a little goodwill. I desire also to take this Opportunity Of acknow ledging my indebtedness to the various authors of standard foreign cookery books, and also to Ofier my grateful thanks to Mrs. A. B. Marshall, and several other well-known chefs, whose kindness has SO materially helped and rendered possible my work in these last years.
