Collection of cookery and medical receipts, by various hands. The second leaf contains a receipt dated 1746, and the latest dated entry is 1826, but after this there are others written probably c. 1850. Inserted loose are 26 scraps on 33 leaves of various sized paper, containing medical, and few cookery receipts. By the scripts these seem to be mostly of the 18th cent., though there are a few which are of the first quarter of the 19th cent., and are dated 1815.
