Publishers' Notice

In attempting to plan a thoroughly practical work on Housekeeping and kindred subjects that would meet the real needs of the Southern matrons of to-day, the wellknown "Buckeye Cook-Book" (which in its wide dissemination East and West, North and South, has reached a sale of 190,000 copies) came under our notice. Its contributions from all States of the Union have made it cosmopolitan in character, and, being undoubtedly the best cook-book for general use in print, it seemed a fitting basis for our "Dixie Cook-Book; "therefore, with the consent of its Publishers, we have made it this, combining with the "cream" of that excellent manual a large collection of additional recipes-choice treasures from the garners of many a Southern household, handed down from generation to generation, besides many other recipes, contributed by the ladies of the South, for the more modern Southern dishes. Earnestly trusting the volume will meet the demand it is intended to supply of a reliable and complete manual for the housekeeper, we submit it to the public. Copyright, 1883, by A. G. WILCOX.
