three quarts and a pint with a moderate fire, then change 

 the receiver, fix on another, and draw off another pint, 

 which, though of an inferior quality, is well worth pre- 

 serving. The Toilet of Flora. 



Imperial Water. 



Put into a gallon of Brandy, a quarter of a pound of 

 Picked Violets, an ounce of Florentine Orrice, a quarter 

 of a pound of Double Jonquils, two ounces of picked 

 Orange Flowers, two Ounces of White Musk-Roses, three 

 ounces of Tuberoses, a drachm of Mace, half a drachm 

 of Cloves, an ounce of Quintessence of Bergamot, and 

 an ounce of Quintessence of Oranges. All the Flowers 

 must be gathered in their proper season. Observe to put 

 into the Brandy at the same time with the Violets, the 

 Orrice, Mace and Cloves, in gross powder, then add 

 the different Flowers as they come in season, remembering 

 not to add the quintessences, till after the Tuberoses, 

 which are the last Flower. Every time you put in a fresh 

 Flower, shake the vessel, and cork it very tight. Eight 

 days after the Tuberoses have been infused, put the whole 

 into a glass body, lute on the head carefully, and place 

 under the receiver an earthen vessel filled with cold water, 

 that the Spirit may cool as fast as it comes over, by which 

 means its scent will be the better preserved. You may 

 draw off two quarts of a rectified Spirit, that will give 

 perfect satisfaction to the most delicate judge. Ibid. 



To make Spirit of Lilley of the Valley {from Norway). 



N.B. — This serves in the room of Orange-Flozver-W ater 

 in Puddings, and to perfume Cakes ; though it is drank as 

 a Dram in Norway.
