"The Manual of Receipts"

Kittyfrisk

OK, this is something I discovered a few years back while trying to find patination ideas to help a student aging some material.
It is by its nature a very old school read, but full of loads of almost lost techniques that could still be relevant today.
I don't like seeing knowledge lost, however obscure.

If not useful, the title alone is the coolest thing I have seen for a long time 
"The manual of receipts : being a collection of formulæ and process for artisans'

P.S.  Ignore the stuff about explosives, cyanide etc...
