Transcriber's Note

The original text used a Prescription Take symbol (upper case R with a
line through the leg) to indicate recipe numbers. It is shown as {Rx}
in this version of the etext.

Some letters have a macron (straight line) above them; these are
indicated as {=x}, with x being the particular letter.

The book uses both upper and lower case oe ligatures. These are shown
as {OE} and {oe} respectively.

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.
