* Possett was a drink made of wine or treacle boiled with milk. A posset 
was usually taken before retiring to rest. See Merry Wives of Windsor, Act v. 
Scene v. This one was doubtless made of earthenware. In the possession of 
- my own family is a posset pot inscribed ‘‘ John and Sarah Oldall, 1761.”
