Hints for the Table is a selection of facts and

opinions onmat- ter s of eating and drinking, gleaned from the pages of physicann and cooks, and the table-talk of epicures, classed under dif- ferent heads, as " Dietetics," "Cookery," and "Art of Dining ;" going through all the various viands seriatim, until we arrive at " Drinking Wine, and Coffee, and Tea ;" the whole being wound up by " Anecdotes" of a savoury character. These Hints, nearly a thousand in number, will be acceptable not only to the bon vivant, but to the good housewife ; health and economy as well as luxury being kept in view.
