N Pliny’s Natural Hiflery, we find a curious Receipt for making the Rumanm Frid dfbip ; a Cordial that was univerfally efteemed in thofe Days, and very few Families of any Credit were ‘without it. In the fame Place, he fays, they were indebted to the Greeks for this Receipt, who had it in the greateft Perfe&tion. The old Roman Friendfhip was a Compofition of fe- veral Ingredients, of which the Principal was Uzion of Hrarts, a fine Flower that grew in feveral Parts of the Empire ; Sincerity, Franknefs, Dilintereflednefs, Pity and Tendernefs, of each an equal Quantity ; thefe were all mixed together with two rich Oils, which they call perpetual kind Wifles, and Sex:nity of Temper 5 and the whole was firongly perfumed with the Defire of pleafing, which gave it a moft grateful Smell, and was a fure Reftorative in all Sorts of Vapours. This Cordial thus prengred, was of fo durable § Natqre, that ne Length of T'ime could wafte it : And what is very remarkable, fays our Author, it increafed in Weight and Value the longer you kept it. The Moderns have moft grofly adulterated this fine Receipt : Seme of the Ingredients, indeed, are not to be found ; but what they 1mpofe upon you, as Friend- fhip, is as follows : Qutward Profiffions (a common Weed that grows every where) inftead of the Flower of Union ; the De- Jire of being pleafed, a large Quantity ; of Self Interefl, Conweniency, and Referwednels, wany Handfuls ; a lirtle Pity and Tenderne/s. But fome pretend to make up without thefe two lalt ; And the commaon Oil of fncon- fancy, (which, like our Linfeed Oil, is cold drawn every Hour) ferves to mix them together. Moft of the In- gredients being of a perifhable Nature, it will not keep, and fhews itfelf to be counterfeit, by leffening conti- nually in Weight and Value. Port of PISCATAQUA.
