MacKenzie's five thousand receipts in all the useful and domestic arts : constituting a complete practical library ... : a new American, from the latest London edition : with numerous and important additions generally : and the medical part carefully revised and adapted to the climate of the U. States : and also a new and most copious index / by an American physician.
A household and trade compendium of five thousand recipes and instructions compiled by Colin Mackenzie, issued in this revised American edition at Philadelphia and Pittsburgh in 1829 for general readers and practitioners in the domestic arts, with the medical sections adapted to the United States. The woodcuts are carving diagrams: joints, birds and fish resting on oval platters, shaded with dense parallel hatching and marked with letters and dotted cutting lines that a designer can lift as small emblematic spot illustrations or annotation devices.
