Recipe miscellany
Manuscripts
A collection of remedies, culinary and household recipes, this manuscript volume appears to be a fair copy with later annotations in the hand of Mrs. Holmes (whose name appears on the upper pastedown), dating from the last half of the nineteenth century. The recipes in the volume range from suckling pig and marmalade to furniture oil and the remedies include how to bleach freckles and make a gargle for a sore throat. Also enclosed is a manuscript originally laid into the volume and now placed in a mylar sleeve; it is a recipe for pomatora, from approximately 1675-1725, and on the verso is an autograph note addressed to "Mrs Jobber."

Manuscripts
These two manuscript volumes of recipes were begun by Mrs. Elizabeth Nicolls in the last quarter of the eighteenth century and completed, amended and altered by a number of successive owners and users over the course of more than half a century. Volume 1 (1776-approx. 1815) and Volume 2 (1781-approx. 1827), are written in several hands, with numerous tipped-in manuscript notes, letters and pasted-in newspaper clippings; original vellum over pasteboards, with some damage to spines and corners. Also included, in a separate envelope, are additional leaves originally laid into the volumes and a small envelope with a lock of "Harry's Hair" (9 pieces).
