English Housewifery Exemplified 1764

It is not doubted but the candid Reader will find the following BOOK in

correspondence with the title, which will supersede the necessity of

any other recommendation that might be given it

As the complier of it engaged in the undertaking at the instance and

importunity of many persons of eminent account and distinction, so she

can truly assure them, and the world, that she has acquitted herself

with the utmost care and fidelity

And she entertains the greater hopes that her performance will meet

with the kinder acceptance, because of the good opinion she has been

held in by those, her ever honour'd friends, who first excited her to

the publication of her BOOK, and who have been long eye-witnesses of

her skill and behaviour in the business of her calling.
