Notebook containing pharmaceutical, medical and household recipes in several hands, 19th century. The greater part of the contents is arranged in alphabetical order from Aqua to Unguent in a single hand of the early/mid 19th century (ff. 1-96v.), with an index or list of contents at the end (ff. 118-121). Further recipes and directions have been added in the same and later hands (ff. 96v.-116). Several of the latter are from newspapers. On f. 89v. are two prescriptions by J[oseph] Toynbee, the aural surgeon, dated 1856-57, for J M Albright, and on ff. 81r. and 96v. are prescriptions for the same person by J[onathan] H[utchinson], of 15 Cavendish Square, dated 1897. An earlier recipe for `thieves vinegar' is addressed to a certain Rachel Albright (f. 82r.).
