Gift of A.W. Bitting, presented in memory of Katherine Golden Bitting, Oct. 6, 1939 (Katherine Golden Bitting Collection on Gastronomy. Manuscript cookery book no. 15).
Probably written in Great Britain.
Written on 30 loose bifolia gathered into one quire, except for 5 bifolia, which are presently laid in following p. [22], making a discontinuity in the text at that point. The 2nd half of the bifolium at midpoint in the quire has been excised leaving a stub with some writing visible.
All leaves following the excision at mid-point are blank, except for p. [113].
