We’re undertaking some research with website visitors to learn more about how people find access-related information provided by museums. This survey shouldn't take longer than 10 minutes to complete. Thank you for your time!

The original compiler, who wrote in a small upright hand, has dated several of the receipts 1686 (pp. 259, 274, 281). The other chief contributor apparently wrote in the first half of the 18th cent., the latest date being 1752 (p. 161). There are also a few additions by other 18th cent. hands. The receipts are mainly medical: a few entries are in Latin. The title-page reads as above.
