Observe

When searching for anything contained in this book, always refer to the Index, noting the directions given on page 565.

The Receipts are classified, as far as practicable, under the headings to which they belong; some of them, however, are applicable to several subjects, but are inserted, to avoid repetition, under one only. Such receipts, consequently, migh| not be readily found by consulting the Table of Contents, which gives the subject Headings only.

The figures in the Index refer to the number of the Receipt, not the page number.
