Ice Cream
A quart of rich cream half a pound of powdered loaf
sugar, the juice of two large lemons, or one pint of,
strawberries, or raspberries. Put the cream into a bread
pan, and squeeze the lemon's juice into it, or gradually
stir in, the fruit, which must be previously mashed
to a smooth paste. Then by slow degrees stir in the
sugar, and when all is well mixed, strain it through
a sieve, Put it into a tin that has a close cover, &
set that in a deep tub. Fill the tub with ice broken
into very small pieces, strew among the ice, a large
quantity of coarse salt, being careful that none of the
salt gets into the cream. Scrape the cream down
with a spoon as it freezes around the inside of the
tin edges; when it is all frozen, dip the tin for a mo-
ment in lukewarm water; take out the cream, &
fill your glasses but not until it is required, as it will
very soon melt--

Transcription Conventions

Spelling: Maintain original spelling (including u/v, i/j, and ff). Long "s" should be replaced with a regular "s". Terminal long "i" characters are transcribed as "i" not "j".
Hyphenation: Preserve hyphens (including "=" characters) at the ends of lines.
Capitalization: Maintain original
Punctuation: Add modern periods, but don't add punctuation like commas and apostrophes.
Deletions: Deleted characters and words are tagged with "strike" and then displayed with the line through them.
Symbols: For apothecary and alchemical symbols, use these symbols followed by the meaning of the symbol in brackets: Rx [recipe]; ℈ [scruple]; ʒ [dram]; ʒs [half dram]; ℥ [ounce]; ℥s [half ounce]; ℔ [pound].
For roman numerals following symbols that indicate amount, i.e., j=1, ij=2, iij= 3, v=5, type arabic numeral in brackets following roman numeral: i [1], ii [2], iii [3], v [5].
Line Breaks: Hit return once after each line ends. Two returns indicate a new paragraph, which is usually indentation following the preceding sentence in the original. The times at the end of each entry should get their own paragraph, since the software does not support indentation in the transcriptions.
Illegible text: Indicate illegible readings in single square brackets: [Dr?]
A single newline indicates a line-break in the original document, and will not appear as a break in the text in some views or exports. Two newlines indicate a paragraph, and will appear as a paragraph break in all views.
