Humphreys, Thomas Brigstocke (fl. 1859), chemist, Portmadoc

Recipe and account book with ownership inscription of Thomas Brigstocke Humphreys, Portmadoc, 1859.

1859-1907

1 volume, 1 file

Purchased from A.R. Heath, Bristol, February 1999.

Humphreys appears later to have relocated to London since some of the ephemera in the volume carry the same name but with an address in Blackheath.

Database description transcribed from Richard Aspin and Christopher Hilton's typescript supplement to S.A.J Moorat's Catalogue of Western Manuscripts.

The book has later been used to accommodate newspaper cuttings (including several relating to members of the Humphreys and Brigstocke families, among them H. Humphreys of Aberystwyth, also a chemist, and various Humphreys in Llanelli) and ephemera. The latter relate to a wide variety of chemists' firms, chiefly in London; these include Corbyn & Co. (see MSS. 5435-5460).
