    PREFACE. The following pages have not been composed for the perusal of those who keep house in London only^ but for ail respectable persons who have establishments in the United King- dom ; and the utmost pains have been taken by the writer to compile, arrange, and digest a work of substantial importance at the very lowest price. Nothing less is proposed than a develope- ment and union of the quintescence of above twenty expensive treatises, without being either technical or formal, and the reader will best judge how far this arduous task has been accomplished.
