Many margins are frayed and damaged. Pp. 989-992 have been bound in after p. 920. On pp. 212, 736 and 877 there are very roughly executed alchemical symbolic pen-drawings, and on p. 435 similar drawings of alchemical apparatus. The first fly-leaf is pasted down on to the inside of the upper cover. The receipts are written on paper of various sizes and formats, and many seem to have been ex tracted from other MSS. collections. The larger part of the collection is dated between 1725 and 1749 (p. 289), but there are items written in the second half of the 17th cent., the earliest dated 1659 (p. 233). The name ‘Norelcius’, which is apparently a form of anagram of the compiler’s name, appears on pp. 34,109 (G. Norelcius), 560,953 and 967—Gaspard Norelcius. His name seems to have been Celius Noerey, and his son, an officer in the French Army, leased the house called ‘Les Charmettes’ to Louise Françoise Eléonor de Warens de la Tour [1699-1762] who lived there from about 1730 to 1740. Here she was joined by Jean Jacques Rousseau [1712-1778] who called her ‘Maman’ though she was also his mistress, at least for part of the time. On p. 289, there is a receipt written by her on two 4to. leaves headed : ‘ Composi tion de mon entidotte sepécifique pour preserver les bestiaux de maladies et de les guérir de celle dont il pouroit être afligés. Coppiés le 6 avril 1745 sur mon livres de reseptes differens.
