Description
Collection of medical, cookery, and household receipts: with additions by several hands. With numerous inserted receipts and cuttings from newspapers, etc. pasted in. An inscription inside the upper cover, partly struck through, reads: 'This Recipe Book was begun by Mrs. Finger [?] who died in 1770. And I began going on with it March 20th A.D. 1779. Anna Maria Reeve, Hendens, Berks'. The collection therefore may have been begun c. 1750. The latest dated receipt is 1800.
