Evidence in the case of Walter Baker vs. Dr. Robert James : manuscript, 1752 Feb.-Apr.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/612852064

Petition, summary, and affidavits for a suit in an English court alleging that a fever powder marketed as Dr. James's Powder was the invention of Baron William Schwanberg. Deponents include gunsmith Peter Gandon (father of architect John Gandon) with a long description of a chemical experiment; and painter Thomas Worlidge and his wife. Most depositions take the form of a testimonial, describing the effects of the fever powder and asserting that it was obtained from Schwanberg or Baker.
