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. 11).
Written in Great Britain.
The cookery recipes begin at the front (pages are numbered up to p. 48), with the remedies at the back, running toward the middle (pages are numbered 1-54 and 49-61 (in continuation of the paging of the recipes), with 29 unnumbered pages (some blank) separating the two groups comprising the remedies section). A group of blanks in the book's middle separate the cookery recipes from the remedies. Later hands have not consistently observed the division between cookery recipes and remedies.
