[REPURPOSED] Book of Handwritten Farming and Health Recipes; Book written in: MARSHALL'S COMMERCIAL POCKET BOOK, For 1830 Title: [REPURPOSED] Book of Handwritten Farming and Health Recipes; Book written in: MARSHALL'S COMMERCIAL POCKET BOOK, For 1830 Publication: London: W. MARSHALL, c. 1910-1945 Description: Leather_bound. 216 pages. (78 pages repurposed) 16 x 11 cm. This Pocket Book is a great example of how every day books were utilized or "repurposed" throughout the 19th century. Here we have someone very determined to make use of these blank pages to commit to paper the various methods used when living on a farm. We believe this book comes from Cumbria, England - the Lake District. The author is very organized as they used three pages to make their own index of recipes, remedies and household/farm essentials. Most of the recipe and remedies are written in cursive while the author also pasted in recipes and remedies from other printed material. Some of the recipes and remedies: Green Fly Spray, Worms in Horses, Salve for Wounds, Bacon Curing, Sausage Making, Black Pudding, Grafting Wax for Fruit Trees, Beer with a "Kick", Raising Young Chicks, and many, many more. The author has also drawn a diagram illustrating how horse's teeth look at various ages with a description below. Well preserved and legible. Red leather pocket book. Very good.
