Description
This book is part of the library's collection of the papers of William Bonnell Hall (1866-1946), an Alabama teacher and physician who served as vice chancellor of the University of the South beginning in 1909. The relationship of the book's author, Mrs. Dorian Hall, to William Bonnell Hall has not been established, but U.S. census records indicate that she was living in a household that included 16-year-old William Bonnell and his parents in 1880. The recipes in the 11-page book focus on sweets and remedies.
