MtMan-List: Re: 1810 Recipie book

[Vic Barkin <Victor.Barkin@NAU.EDU>]

Specifically to John K,

Last week I was in Portsmouth, Va and stopped in a rere book store. Thought
you'ld be interested in a hand written journal from 1810 I found (but did
not buy) there. It is a Journal type book (originally sold with blank
pages), hand written, lists recipied for paints, varnishes, stains,
cleaners etc... The asking price was $150 U.S.. Out of my budget. I know
I'll regret not picking it up so here's the next best thing...

I'll get the adress to anyone interested in making this purchase on the
condition that they transcribe the info found within and publish it to this
list, I'm sure we can all benefit.

If no one responds, I'll mull it over and if I decide I can no longer live
happily without it I'll have to start saving my Halfpennies. Then, yes,
I'll be happy to do the transcribing.

There was another book, similar, but bound in vellum, with recipies for
food and liquor mixes. the list on that was $165 U.S. and dated 1796, I
believe
