- Summary:
- Accounts of Fernsby, Yorks; the book is divided into two sections. The front section is taken up by accounts, although these cease after a while, and are followed by various receipts, including 'to make hair come again - burn a cork to powder and add an equal quantity of gunpowder. Mix it with oil and rub it well in 3 or 4 times a day.' The back section contains mathematical exercises and calligraphic work. The book overall is very untidy and blotted.
