Scope and content
A small manuscript volume (54 pp.) written in an eighteenth century hand containing a copy of the title-page of, and extracts from, an edition of [Thomas Hill:] Legerdemain: or Natural and Artificial Conclusions and Hocus Pocus improved (London: printed and sold by W. Gwilling, n.d.). At the end of the manuscript (pp. 52-4) are some recipes, etc. from other sources written in a different hand. The number 121 is written on the original brown paper wrapper. This manuscript and Cwrtmawr MS 490 appear to have come from the same source.
