Content and structure area
Scope and content
A volume, [c. 1825]-1881, apparently mainly compiled by Morgan Rice James (c. 1791-1855), solicitor, and his wife, Mary Ann James (née Crymes, c. 1790-1871), of High Street and later of Hill Lane, Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire. The volume was originally used for legal notes but now contains chiefly veterinary, household and culinary recipes, in various hands, acquired partly from relatives, including the compilers' daughter Elizabeth (f. 30 verso), and from acquaintances in Haverfordwest, Milford Haven and Narberth, but also from printed sources, notably John Bartlet, The Gentleman's Farriery (London & Eton, 1753) and Francis Clater, Every Man his own Farrier (Newark, 1783).
