Excerpt from The Cook's Own Book, and Housekeeper's Register: Being Receipts for Cooking of Every Kind of Meat, Fish, and Fowl, and Making Every Sort of Soup, Gravy, Pastry, Preserves, and Essences; With a Complete System of Confectionery Tn cook a greater power over the public health welfare than the physician, and if he should be a charlatan in his art, alas For his employers. Hitherto, or until of late years, the cook has had to educate himself, while the physician appropriates all the knowledge of antiquity, and of every succeeding age; his individual cases are all classed according to general principles, while the rules that have regulated the preparation of our food, have been discordant and unnatural. In the present age, indeed, cookery has been raised to the dignity of an art, and sages have given their treatises to the world. Very has a monument in the cemetery of Pm La Chaise, among the tombs of warriors, poets, and philosophers, recording of his life that 'it was consecrated to the useful arts.' Virgil however, writes that the best delights of Elysium were showered upon those who received wounds for their country, who lived unspotted priests, who uttered verses worthy of Apollo, or who, like Very, consecrated their lives to the useful arts. On the utilitarian principle the cook should be much elevated in public estimation, and were he to form a strict alliance with the physician, the patriarchal ages would return, and men would die of nothing but sheer old age.
