INTRODUCTORY

The

author,

in

presenting

this

volume

to

the

public,

begs

to

state

that

his

intention

in

compiling

it

is

not

to

have

it

recorded

as

one

of

the

literary

marvels

of

the

day,

but

to

give

to

the

"prince

of

good

fellows"

a

guide

of

value

for

his

home,

club,

hotel

or

cafe.

As

previously

stated

in

his

first

issue,

it

is

only

practical

experience,

through

long

association

with

the

leading

Amer-

ican

hotels

and

clubs,

which

enables

him

to

publish

this

volume,

the

most

complete

of

its

kind

ever

issued.

In

the

various

recipes,

a

reference

is

made

only

to

wines

and

ingredients

of

the

highest

character.

the

advertising

section,

contained

at

the

end

of this

book,

he

would

sug-

gest

preference

in
