- Recipe book : manuscript, circa 1830-1850
- Description
- Early 19th-century manuscript contains approximately 86 culinary recipes on 116 pages and a few laid-in sheets, in addition to about a dozen non-culinary (mostly household) recipes. The manuscript is divided into three main parts: "Soups," such as mulligatawny, white soup, carrot soup, and flemish soup; "Creams and Jellies," such as custard, lemon cream, and punch jelly; and "Puddings," such as cheesecake pudding and orange pudding. Other kinds of recipes, culinary (meats, fish, and pickled dishes) and non-culinary, appear between these parts. The manuscript is predominantly written in a single hand and some of the recipes are attributed.

- A collection of choise receipts : manuscript, circa 1680-1700
- Description
- Late 17th-centrury English manuscript divided into two parts: "A Collection of Choise Receipts" and "A Book of Physical Receipts." The first part of the manuscript contains approximately 390 recipes on 254 numbered pages. Of the recipes in the first part approximately 204 are culinary and approximately 175 are for medicines, perfumes, sweet bags, cosmetics, and household cleaners. A large portion of the culinary recipes concern banqueting, particularly fruit preserving; wines, liqueurs, non-medicinal waters, and syrups; and cakes and biscuits. Dinner and supper recipes, such as puddings, meat, poultry, and fish, are also well represented. The second part contains approximately 781 medicinal recipes on 214 numbered pages. Various diseases and conditions such as ague, bleeding, consumption, colic, dropsy, fits, fever, plague, pox, and stone are mentioned. Both parts are followed by indexes. The entire manuscript is written in one very legible hand, possibly that of a professional scribe. The characters "J H" appear frequently in the first part of the manuscript. Many of the recipes are attributed, some to nobility.

- Title
- Receipt book : autograph manuscript signed, 1848-circa 1885
- Description
- This manuscript consists of approximately 240 culinary recipes and 50 medical and household receipts. The vast majority of the culinary recipes are for tea breads, cakes, little cakes, and desserts, with cakes predominating. Only about 30 of the recipes are for savory dishes, and nearly all of these are for meat, poultry, or pickles. There are no recipes for vegetables or fish. Most of the medical receipts are treatments for common complaints, such as chapped hands, warts, bleeding, and indigestion. There is one predominant hand, most likely that of Jane W.A. Beck, and several others. Many of the recipes are attributed. Clippings, mostly of recipes, are also found throughout the volume.
