About this work

Description

Collection of 237 medical and 151 cookery receipts. At the end of Medical Receipt No. 131, the compiler writes: 'and it was as highly recommended to me as on experience I find it deserv'd to be. M.K.' The date of the MS. can be established approximately by Receipt No. 210 in which the date '1732/3 Jan.' is given. No. 222 contains 'Mrs. Stephen's Cure for the Stone and Gravel', at the end of which it is stated 'June 16, 1739 this day Mrs.Stephens was paid the sum of five thousand pounds for the above written Receipt'. There are two entries by different hands, one dated 1828, the other 1835.
