Manuscript memorandum of the state of mind & sum of circumstances of the death of Joanna Brown

178555306Newport 1785. Three-page folio manuscript approx. 13" x 16"; previous folds paper toned considerable dampstaining but the text remains legible; several short splits at the folds; good. Joanna Brown was the daughter of Nicholas and his wife Rhoda Jenckes Brown. Sadly Joanna died at the age of nineteen apparently of a flu-like illness. Nicholas Brown Sr. 1729-1791 was a Providence merchant who co-founded the College in the English Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations which was renamed Brown University after Brown's son Nicholas Brown Jr. in 1804. Brown was a active supporter of both the College and of the First Baptist Church in America throughout his life. Upon his death in 1791 Rev. Dr. Samuel Stillman of Boston gave his eulogy. This manuscript opens with: "Memorandum of the state of mind & sum circumstances of Joanna Brown Daughter of Nicholas Brown & Rhoda his whife sic. In her last Illness. She Departed this Life January the 18th at abt 4 after two in the morning aged nineteen years wanting five Days--with a Consumption. On blank day of June being Sunday & a remarkably hot day Joanna was out that afternoon to meeting abt 3 OC there came up a Hard squall of windÃ‚Â & sum rain after meeting she went up to her Aunt Pages and is said she wet her feet however in the evening she went with sum of her young company Sat out under Capt Pages buttonwood trees in his yard and caught such a cold as not to be able to go out of chambers the next day the next day had sum complaints of pain in her side with a fever." Joanna was taken to Newport "for a Sea Upland air" and had an herbal medicine prescribed by Dr Stiles of New York "called by them boneset" but after a visit to "Uncle John B and his wife Nabby" in "Popersquash" in Bristol for several days in July she was no better.Ã‚Â "She had taken the P. herb according to direction with such others means as thot advisable while in Newport by Drs Eyers & Easton during which time we had many letters from Dr Eyers & herself most of which rather gave her case to be mending tho with no grait Incouragement at any time However in my own opinion she was no better when returned." Joanna's illness lasted over six months before she died and the writer gives much detail concerning both her illness and the question of how to relay to her that she was likely to die. "About the 22nd of December I wrote a friend that she was very low & as to her state of body could not continue but a little while.Was much wasted and could not sit at the table by herself. She was ready for Gods call & expected grait Love for Christ & Trusting in God.she died with great tranquility of mind.yet Satan was busy about her often darkning & discouraging her tho' afterwards for sum weeks before her end was much more releaved from the influence of the Adversary--see copy of 2nd letter to Mr Stillman ." Presumably Rev. Samuel Stillman had been contacted concerning her imminent demise. The manuscript is unsigned but it was probably written by someone very close to her in her last illness--possibly either a nurse or housekeeper or perhaps some lower level Baptist preacher--not James Manning then pastor of the First Baptist Church-- judging by the spelling.Ã‚Â The provenance according to Dan Seigel is "from William Goddard's papers" but the handwriting is not his nor her father's or step-mother's. <br/><br/> unknown books

Kettilby Mary; by Several Hands anon.ABAA

A Collection of above Three Hundred Receipts in Cookery Physick and Surgery; for the Use of all Good Wives Tender Mothers and Careful Nurses

17147280London: For Richard Wilkin 1714. Octavo 19 x 12.5 cm. 16 218 13 pages. FIRST EDITION. "Mary Kettilby's collection of cookery recipes and medicinal and home remedies from a tasty "green-pease soop without meat" to gooseberry wine. Households that could not afford French cooks or French cooking came to form a growing audience for books by women that contained unpretentious recipes cut to suit a less costly cloth for pickling and collaring rather than ragouts. Where Hannah Woolley had led plenty of female cooks with their eye on the profitable middle market followed with books like Mary Kettilby's collection of recipes 1714 and Eliza Smith's Compleat Housewife 1734" Colquhoun Taste: The Story of Britain through its Cookery 2015. Kettilby's book purported to be a collective effort: the preface stating that 'a Number of very Curious and Delicate House-wives Club'd to furnish out this Collection'. Maclean however pages 79-82 doubts this and notes that evidence from later editions indicate Kettilby to be the main author. Apart from the Preface there is no introduction of any sort: the recipes follow immediately after the chapter headings. The book is clearly divided into chapters of recipes for food and for remedies but within the chapters there is no definite structure. For example the first chapter begins with six recipes for soups followed by recipes for collared beef 'French-Cutlets' collared mutton stewed pigeons broiled pigeons dressed turbot and then patties 'for a Dish of Fish'. The recipes are given either as goals as 'To make Hogs-Puddings' or as titles sometimes with descriptions as 'A very good Tansy'. Quantities are given in whichever units are convenient as 'a Gallon of grated Bread' 'three Pounds of Currants' or 'nine Eggs'. Often quantities rely on the cook's judgment as 'as much Sugar as will make it very sweet'. Temperatures and timings are given when necessary as 'a cool Oven: Half an Hour bakes it'. Later binding in 19th century style. Half-calf gilt-decorated spine marbled endpapers. The front paste-down contains the bookplates of two significant culinary collections: Thomas Scruggs & Margaret Cook and Marian Hatch. The Hatch bookplate was designed and engraved by British engraver Alfred J. Downey. With the bookseller's ticket of Philip C. Duschnes to the rear pastedown. Ink ownership mark to half-title "1718 Eliseab; and inscription on final page of text "illeg. near New College Oxford". OCLC locates eighteen copies; Bitting page 258; Cagle 789; Maclean pages 79-82; Oxford page 54; Wellcome II page 389. For Richard Wilkin hardcover books
