"Punch, or the London Charivari, Volume 99, December 20, 1890"

Cooking by gas, Mrs. SUGG shows, is cleaner, cheaper,
more convenient, and more artistic than the older style. So widely
is the practice now established, that gas-cooking apparatus are made
to suit all conditions of life, from the kitchen of the Grand Hotel
to the "Little Connaught," which you can (if you like) carry about
in your waistcoat-pocket; yet when properly extended it will roast
fowls, and small joints, grill chops, steaks, and fish, boil eggs,
and vegetables, and keep a large family in hot water. "To gentlemen
residing in Chambers, or those reading for the Bar," Mrs. SUGG writes
of another treasure, "this little kitchener with the two grillers will
prove a great boon." If Sir HENRY JAMES had really been going to the
Bench, he could not have done better than study this book, and set
himself up with a "Little Connaught" or a "Double Griller." Since
that is not the case, it may be asked, Would they be worth the LORD
CHANCELLOR's attention? We unhesitatingly reply, "Why, Sugg'nly!"
"Are you asleep, BUCHANAN?" inquired ARCHER. This is the first
sentence of a shilling novel, by BUTIFFE SKOTTOWE, with a very
sensational picture on the cover.
