Ice-Cream and Cakes ad title
A New Collection of Standard Fresh and OriginalReceipts for Household and Commercial Use.————By AN AMERICAN————1 Vol., 12mo, - - Price, $1.50.————
Fond as Americans are of Ice-Cream and Ices, there has never been a book giving directions for the preparation of the various forms of iced dainties, some of which are quite unknown in this country, or are only procurable from the best confectioners of our large cities. This book contains the fruit of many years’ experience and experiment, together with a description of the processes followed by the great French and Italian confectioners.
More than a hundred different receipts for Ice-Creams and Water Ices are given, with rules for preparing all the various flavorings. The directions are both minute and systematic, and being the production of a person of education and refinement, specially qualified for the task, the work will be found to be thoroughly accurate and complete in all points. Any capable housewife, with the resources of a well-equipped kitchen, will be able to follow the directions given, without difficulty and with certainty of success.
Extreme care has been taken to avoid ambiguity and looseness of statement, the exact amount of an ingredient is always stated, so that the most inexperienced cannot go astray.The various utensils necessary are described, and full advice given as to their use.
Following this section is a collection of receipts for Cake, embracing several hundred different sorts, many of them new and original, and all carefully tested and of prime excellence. Some of these receipts have hitherto been the property of individuals by whom they were sold singly at a high price. The book, as a whole, contains a greater number of original and choice receipts for ice-cream and cakes than any other in existence. It will be found indispensable wherever choice and dainty cookery is appreciated.

Uniform with the Revised Edition of Common Sense in the Household.————————
THE DINNER YEAR-BOOK.
By MARION HARLAND,Author of “Common Sense in the Household,” “Breakfast,Luncheon, and Tea,” etc., etc.————————One vol. 12mo, 720 pages, beautifully bound in Cloth. Price $1.75.Kitchen Edition in Oil-Cloth Covers at same Price.————————
The Dinner Year-Bookis, in its name, happily descriptive of its purposes and character. It occupies a place which, amid all the publications upon cookery—and their name is Legion—has never yet been occupied.
The author truly says that there have beendinner-givingbooks published, that is, books ofmenusfor company dinings, “Little Dinners,” for especial occasions, etc., etc.; but that she has never yet met with apractical directoryof this important mealfor 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 proper 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 “Common Sense” books which the publishers have received, both in newspaper notices and in private communications, are to the effect—always expressed with some astonishment—thatthe directions of these receipts, actually followed, produce the promised result. We can prophesy the same 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, etc. of the ordinary home dinner for every day of the year. To these are addedtwelve company dinners, one for each month, from which a selection can be made—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 containsthe largest number of receiptsfor soups, fish, meat, vegetables, entrees of all descriptions, and desserts,ever offered to the American public. The material for this work has been collected with great care both at home and abroad, representing the diligent labor of many months.
Note.—The Dinner Year-Book, with six colored plates, illustrating twenty-eight subjects, handsomely bound in cloth, will be continued in print at the regular price, $2.25.

We have had more pleasure in reading them over again than we had when they first appeared in the magazine.”—Congregationalist.
