The volume also contains household accounts, including bills for dressmaking and losses in card games; medical recipes, including cures for chilblains, fluxes, toothaches, and burns; cookery recipes, including almond custard, rice pudding, and trussed partridges; and miscellaneous news reports and historical items, such as a description of a miraculous well in Norfolk and comments on the jewels used during the coronation of George III.
