JOHN JERNINGHAM'S JOURNAL.

A companion volume to MRS. JERNINGHAM'S JOURNAL.

One vol. square xómo, gilt sides.....

75 cents.

At last John Jerningham has spoken. About a year ago Mrs. Jerningham told the tale of her married life, in verse both pungent and charming; and that her dutiful spouse should have so long allowed her side of the story to remain inanswered speaks well for his forbearance. Those who laughed over Mrs. Jerningham's petty foibles, and who sighed over the trials in which her thoughtless coquetry involved her, can now learn how the long-suffering John felt all the time. In piquancy and freshness, John Jerningham's Journal is a most appropriate sequel to Mrs. Jerningham's Journal, which it is sure to rival in popularity.

The book is the very best, the most sensible, the most practical, the most honest book on this matter of getting up good dinners, and living in a decent, Christian way, that has yet found its way in our household.—Watchman and Reflector. We cannot err in predicting for it a wide popularity. New York Evening Post.

Unites the merits of a trustworthy receipt-book with the freshness of a familiar talk on household affairs.-Alba y Evening Journal.

The directions are clear, practical, and so good in their way, that the only wonder is how any one head could hold so many pots, kettles, and pans, and such a world of gastronomic good things.-Hearth and Home.
