Cookery and pharmaceutical recipes of the Malet family [manuscript], ca. 1700-1740, 1882.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/440772559

Includes a few household recipes and one on managing Guernsey lilies, with additional directions by Charles Hatton. Some of the cookery recipes are taken from Mrs. Bamfyld's book of receipts. Many of the medicinal recipes are ascribed to particular physicians; a few were prescribed for the Malets. Two reports have been added from J. Ray's Philosophical letters ... and J. Clayton's account of Virginia. Also, extracts from books on different parts of the world such as Martinus a Baumgarten's Peregrinatio, J. de Thévenot's Relation d'un voyage au Levant. R. Wither's A description of the grand signour's seraglio, S. de la Loubère's du royaume de Siam, [P.] Avril's Travels into diverse parts of Europe and Asia, G.A. Borelli's Historia ... incendii Aetnaei ... 1669, J. Morton's Natural history of Northamptonshire, as well as from a manuscript of Sir Walter Raleigh's "A discourse of the origin ... of war." At the end is a catalogue of books and manuscripts. Note by O.W. [Octavius Warre] Malet that the volume formerly belonged to his grandfather, the Rev. A. [Alexander] Malet of Combe Florey, [Somerset], and had descended to him from his forefathers. Brief list of contents tipped in.
