Notes (Hamnet):
The earliest recipes likely date from soon after Lady Catherine's first marriage in the 1680s; several of the later recipes in part 1 are dated, ending with "Anno 1738-9 Evening Post against the small-Pox to prevent infection" (p. [281]). Some of the later receipts explicitly intended for Lady Catherine or her second husband, such as "Doctor Meads prescription for Mr Gardemans virtigo" (p. 271) and "Doctor Hays Receipt for the eyes given to Mrs Bacon anno 1721" (p. 273)
