Excerpt from Cups and Their Customs
We have selected a sprig of Borage for our frontispiece, by reason of the usefulness of that pleasant herb in the fiavouring of cups. Else where than in England, plants for flavouring are accounted of rare virtue. So much are they esteemed in the East, that an anti-brahminical writer, showing the worthlessness of Hindu superstitions, says, They command you to cut down a living and sweet basil-plant, that you may crown a lifeless stone. Our use of flavour ing-herbs is the reverse of this justly condemned one; for we crop them that hearts may be warmed and life lengthened.

Excerpt from Cups and Their Customs
The principal object of these pages is to furnish a collection of recipes for the brewing of compound drinks, technically called "Cups," all of which have been selected with the most scrupulous attention to the rules of gastronomy, and their virtues tested and approved by repeated trials. These we are inclined to put into type, from a belief that, if they were more generally adopted, it would be the means of getting rid of a great deal of that stereotyped drinking which at present holds sway at the festive boards of England. In doing this, we have endeavoured to simplify the matter as much as possible, adding such hints and remarks as may prove serviceable to the uninitiated, whilst we have discarded a goodly number of modern compounds as unpalatable and unscientific.
