Five thousand receipts in all the useful and domestic arts : constituting a complete and universal practical library, and operative cyclopædia
Five Thousand Receipts is an 1829 Philadelphia compendium of household, workshop and medical recipes compiled by Colin MacKenzie and later owned by Robert D. Mussey, written for general domestic and craft readers. Its single picture is a small woodcut of two graduated measuring vessels, a footed glass and a flared beaker with numbered scale marks, drawn in plain outline that suggests measuring instruments for kitchen or dispensary use.
