Account book, 1650-c. 1730s.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/191259197

This recipe book belonged first to Anna Cromwell ( - ), who was evidently living somewhere in England. There is evidence that it was also owned by Brigham, while a note inside the volume states that at one time the volume belonged to Sarah Sartell Prentice (1716-1792), wife of Solomon Prentice (1705-1773), the first minister of Grafton. The volume contains cooking recipes and formulae for various home remedies. Many of the remedies are numbered. There are also farm accounts dated from the 1720s and 1730s. Several sections have been sewn into the volume at some later date. There are pages missing and many other pages torn.

1 v. (96 leaves) ; folio.
