Footnotes

The anonymous author of Dinners and Dinner-Parties states in the Preface that it was "written in truthfulness and charity to the five millions of unmarried daughters of England and Wales, with a view of awakening the attention of their mothers, whom half a century of sleep and bad cookery have rendered so careless that they know not what they eat, nor of what their soup is composed; and what is worse, have so largely contributed to the frightful mortality of their infants".
