Minor Notes.

_"Receipt" or "Recipe."_--In one of Mr. Ryle's popular tracts, "_Do you

pray?_" Wertheim and Mackintosh: London, 1853, occurs the following

expression, p. 18.:

"What is the best _receipt_ for happiness?"

Is the use of "receipt" for "recipe" to be admitted into the English

language?
