Description

The library has not determined where this book of 113 numbered pages was compiled, but its substantial length strongly suggests that it is English. The library has tentatively dated the book to circa 1800-1820. Written in a number of different hands, the book contains 150 culinary and medical recipes as well as a complete index at the front. The recipes include "a carrot pudding," "cellery sauce," and "two recepes for billious pills."
