THE progress of the Arts has, since the commencement of the century, been great and universal. Science, indeed, has come to their aid in an unexpected and extraordinary manner, and by the extended power it has given to the Graver and the Plate, the delightful creations of the Draughtsman and of the Painter, with the Literature of their Country in their train, are now universally dispersed, at a price which can scarcely be called a purchase, over every part of the Empire, across the Atlantic, to the Indies, and almost to every quarter of the globe. That patronage which springs from patriotism, and would extend the influence of our native genius, may now indeed exult in its effects;-not only are the labours of the Painter cherished and appreciated, but it must be obvious to the most unreflecting observer, that Art, in its most finished form, as far as it can be supplied by the Graver and the Press, i now so completely within the reach of all by whom education can be obtained, that its ascendancy can no longer be doubtful; its moral influence on the mind, on social intercourse, and on the courtesies of life, may therefore be fairly anticipated; and the portfolio, the album, and the pictorial volume, may at least be expected to divide time with the amusements of the card-table and the minor occupations of society. Of all the literary speculations which have recently been transplanted from a foreign soil, none have been received with so much favour as the German Almanack: this beautiful exotic (whose venial fault is only the light and unpretending character of those articles which are necessarily supplied in immediate connexion with and after the operation of the pencil) is now returned with renewed favour to its native country, improved in growth and beauty by British culture. The LITERARY portion of the present work has been confided to a Gentleman whose name is well known in poetry and prose, and to whose aid not a few of the most distinguished pens of the country have willingly come; of its pretensions, as founded upon ART, the Proprietor can say nothing but what must necessarily by right belong to the Engraver and Painter: on their merits he confidently relies; and to them for their kind, very kind exertions in his favour, his acknowledgments, indeed, are justly due. For himself, indefatigable, he may say, he has been, and the work has necessarily involved an expense almost beyond the pale of prudence; but after five-and-twenty years' application to similar pursuits, he confidently relies upon the continued favour and attention of that Public to which he has so often appealed, and trusts that although, on this occasion, the last in the field, he shall not be thought importunate or intrusive. Recently published, the Third Edition of THE COOK and HOUSE WIFE'S MANUAL; in which are given a Compendium of French Cookery, a New System of Fashionable Confectionary, a Selection of Cheap Dishes, and above Two Hundred additional Receipts. By Mrs. MARGARET Dops, of the Cleikum Inn, St. Ronan's. In one thick Volume, 12mo. 7s. 6d. boards. The rapid advance of the culinary art in England, particularly since a free intercourse with the Continent, having naturalized the better parts of French Gastronomy, has for some time past made a new system of English Cookery, suited to the progressive state of the art, highly desirable. To the combination and selection of the best modes of modern cookery, as practised by the skilful, and admired by the fashionable at home, or adopted by them from the French kitchen, the pub. lishers are as much disposed to attribute the success of the Cook and Housewife's Manual as to its literary merits; and they venture to think that, on examination, it will be found, at least, as useful and instructive as it has been universally acknowledged to be lively and ingenious. Extracts from Reriews of the First Edition of this work. "We have no hesitation in saying, that if the humorous introduction is not written by Sir Walter Scott, the author of it possisses a singular valent of mimicking his best comic manner, and has presented us with an imitation of the great novelist as remarkable for its fidelity, facility, and clevernes, as any thing in the Rejected Addresses.-The remarks on keeping game, we should no omit to say, are very bold and judicious."-Monthly Rev. "We confidently recommend The Cook and Housewife's Manual to a mistresses of families, and in hort, to all whom it may concern, and that is no small number of his Majesty's liege subjects. We ought to add, that in the receipts a due regard is had to economy."-Literary Chronicle. "You are one of the greatest characters of the age; and it is our intention, as the summer adVances, to make a journey to the North on purpose to see you, Mrs. Dods-a sort of gastronomie pilgrimage to the Cleikum Inn."-New Monthly Magazine. "The introduction and notes are adorned by learning, wit, and humour, worthy to entertain a masculine and cultivated mind, the receipts are all practicable, and many of them rare or new; and the style, though plain, is spirited and ele gant."-Ackermann's Repository. "The Encyclopædia Britannica and the Housewife's Manual are anke an honour to Scotland, as they are both the result of a combination of its living genius and enterprise."-News of Literature and Fashion. "The individual who has ingeniously personated Meg Dods, is evidently no ordinary writer; and the book is really most excellent miscellaneous reading. Here we have twenty or thirty grave, sober, instructive, business-like pages, right on end, without one particle of wit whatever; then come as many more sprinkled with facetie-and then half a dozen of broad mirth and merriment. This alternation of grave and gay is exceedingly agreeable."-Blackwood's Magazine. "To speak seriously, this book is evidently got up by some person who knows la Cuisine well, and something else besides. There are both wit and learning in it; and these not stuck on like the superfluous bay-leaves which grace a pyramid of jelly, but entering, like well prepared condiments, auto its very substance."-Scotsman, “It is, in short, a system of domestic management, displayed on the favourite frame-work of a novel. The idea is ingenious, and the execution amusing."-Constable's Edinburgh Magazine. "On the whole, we conceive this volume a valuable compendium of culinary knowledge, displaying more talent and intelligence than have nsually been devoted to the homely but important affairs of the dining-room, pantry, and kitchen " Edinburgh Courant. Extracts from Reviews of the Second Edition. "A good manual hardly requires the accompaniment of wit and amusing anecdote to obtain the attention of all sensible men; yet we have no doubt that the rapidity with which Meg Dods has run to a second edition is in no small degree owing to the literary talent displayed in its composition."-Morning Chronicle, Aug. 17, 1877. "As a curiosity the work is unrivalled-its author is the personage of a novel, and the scene of its experiments the invention of a poet. It is ushered in by a reference to imaginary personages; and finally ends with a counci of reviewers, ep cures, aut nabobs-in short, a Nar Clerkiana, but this is only the garnishing-some folks may object to all this, and call it frippery and not credit that it can surround any work of solid information. Let them, however, take stewpan in hand and try they will find the way to much sabstantial delight lying through the page of Meg Dods' institute of the culinary art."-The Atlas, 19th August, 1827. "The bills of fare are admirable, whilst the mingling of the modern Frencn with the old. EngIsh kitchen renders this a perfect composition, ia which we find every thing, from roasting a poose up to the more sublinie Invention of complex cookery, sanctioned by the first professors of the gastronomic art."-New Literary Gazette, 25 Aug. 1827. "The language of praise has been nearly exhausted on this volume: and our remarks on its general merits will be little more than a confirmation of the judgment already bestowed by other critics on the previous edition.--Excleul as are the receipts in this work. the numerous notes appeaded to them are still more acceptable, and enliven our progress in that most profound, difcult, intricate, and important of all studies-the art of cookery."-The London Weekly Review, 25th August, 1827. "More than two hundred new receipts have been added, and the revision of the whole has produced very marked improvement. French cookery is more particularly expounded, and, altogether, we consider the hostess of the Cleikum to be one of the best oracles extant for gastrono mical consultation."-Lit. Gazette, 22d Sept. 1827. "There cannot be too many editions of Meg's precepts, especially if every succeeding one, as is the case in the present, should come recommended by such captivating additions; and this, we cannot help thi king, will inevitably be the case."-New Monthly Magazine, October 1, 1827. "In addition to every thing which the Cook or Housekeeper can desire in such a Manual, Mrs. Margaret Dods' Treatise is sprinkled with the salt of rare Scottish wit, and rivals Dr. Kuchener's learned work, both in variety and pleasant homour. We are assured also by certain sage and experienced persons, well skilled in the subject, that we may safely recommend it to public patronage, as a useful and well-qualified guide in all the mysteries of the culinary art."-Athenæum, April 30th, 1828.
