http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122616226

Despite the title, few of the extracts are from the "Philosophical Transactions." This commonplace book contains farm directions for curing beef, making compost, draining, grafting, making wine, and catching rats; recipes for beer, shoe-blacking, and bologna sausage; prescriptions for colds, fevers, toothache, and rheumatism; and instructions for engraving, etching, and making porcelain. It also contains a song about the Stamp Act, a "Parody on the Tempest by R. H. Esqr.," and recipes for diet drinks by James Logan and Dr. Cadwalader Evans.
