http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/270755946

Mid-eighteenth century commonplace book containing poems, cookery recipes, medical home remedies and notes on natural history and physics. Poems include John Hughes's "Ode to the creator of the world," Isaac Watts's "Stanzas to my Lady Sutherland," Pope's "Universal prayer," and the traditional ballad of Chevy Chase, as well as many other works by prominent poets, such as Anne Finch, Lord Orrery and Joseph Addison. The compiler gathered many of these poems from contemporary periodicals such as the Daily gazetteer, Gloucester journal and Gentleman's magazine. The volume contains many entries made at least partially in short-hand.
