Elsewhere on this site the narrative of Thomas Thursby in the mid 18th Century shows how slowly their mindset altered. Wealth and status offered little protection from disease and death.  Their medicines offered little more than another way of dying. The snapshot taken by these papers is of a bare 26 years.

Not all content applies in this case but the bottom lines are the ones you need to know most of all. English had still not become entirely standardised within the Huntroyd Receipts, or at this time. Is this a reflection on the age of the contributors? The beauty of some of the handwriting speaks of high standards of education, but sometimes it is possible to see some "flexibility" is applied to words within the papers.
