Editor's Note 8/26

To make Rasberry-Drops.
MASH the Rasberries, put in a little Water, boil and strain them, then take half a Pound of fine Sugar, sifted thro’ an Hair Sieve; just wet the Sugar to make it as thick as a Paste; put to it twenty Drops of Spirits of Vitriol, set it over the Fire, making it scalding hot, but not to boil: Drop it on Paper it will soon be dry; if it will not come off easily, wet the Paper. Let them lye a Day or two on the Paper.
