A very agreeable scented Snuff may be made with 

 Roses, by taking Rosebuds, stripping off the green cup, 

 and pistil that rises in the middle, and fixing in its place 

 a Clove ; being careful not to separate the Leaves that 

 are closed together. The Rose-buds thus prepared, are 

 to be exposed to the heat of the sun a whole month, in- 

 closed in a glass well stopped, and are then fit for use. 



To make Snuff scented with a thousand Flowers, take 

 a number of different Flowers, and mix them together, 

 proportioning the quantity of each Flower, to the degree 

 of its perfume, so that the flavour of no one particular 

 Flower may be predominant. f fo f n et f fi ora . 



Perfumed Snuff. 



Take some Snuff, and rub it in your hands with a little 

 Civet, opening the body of the Civet still more by rubbing 

 it in your hands with fresh Snuff ; and when you have 

 mixed it perfectly with the Snuff, put them into a canister. 

 Snuff is flavoured with other perfumes in the same way.

Snuff after the Maltese Fashion. 



Perfume with Ambergrise, in the manner already de- 

 scribed, some Snuff previously scented with Orange 

 Flowers. Then grind in a mortar a little Sugar with 

 about ten grains of Civet, and mix by little and little 

 with about a pound of the foregoing Snuff. Ibid.
