From the wife of Ex-Gov. and Ex-U.S. Senator John W. Stevenson of Kentucky:

The sound common sense of Virginia women has ever been noted, and they have won for themselves an unequaled reputation for their domestic accomplishments. This work is a valuble addition to the domestic literature of our country. I have tried some of the recipes, and cordially indorse the book. It is also handsomely bound and printed.
Mrs. J. W. Stevenson

This book must inevitably sell well, not only in Virginia, but wherever are found any of the strayed-off children of the dear old mother of presidents.-Louisville Courier-Journal.

This book is edited by the granddaughter of Patrick Henry,and herself one of the famous housekeepers of Virginia. We notice many historical names in the list of contributors.-Western (Ky.) Citizen
