Excerpt from The Mother's Book When I wrote the 'Frugal Housewife,' some booksellers declined publishing it, on account of the great variety of cookery books already in the market. I was perfectly aware of this circumstance; but among them all, I did not know of one suited to the wants of the middling class in our own country. I believed such a book was needed; and the sale of more than six thousand copies in one year has proved that I was right in my conjecture. If the same remark is made with regard to adding another to the numerous books on education, I nave the same answer to give - I do not know of one adapted to popular use in this country.
