Transcriber's Note
The original text used a Prescription Take symbol, ℞, to indicate recipe numbers. There are also some characters with a macron or overline (straight line) above them. You may need to adjust your font settings for these to display properly.
The many inconsistencies in hyphenation and use of accents and ligatures have been preserved as printed, with a few exceptions. Variable and archaic spelling has also been preserved. A full list of amendments and other notes follow the end of the book.
A considerable number of the recipe and page numbers in the index are incorrect; however, they have been preserved as printed. The transcriber has, as far as possible, linked to the correct place in the text. Where the reference could not be determined, the numbers remain unlinked.
