Use as versioned-lineage evidence. The dated specifications document difference and declared continuity; they do not prove invention, priority, or uninterrupted transmission.
The sequence moves from Hearn's 1885 whiskey-cocktail formulas through Kappeler's named 1895 Old Fashioned and Bullock's 1917 bourbon specification.
Schmid's sequence of published recipes shows the Old Fashioned lineage changing across name, spirit, sweetener, bitters, garnish, glass, ice, and proportion while retaining a recognizable relationship among spirit, sugar, water, and bitters.

Verified versioned-lineage evidence from the complete 76-sheet review of The Old Fashioned.
Evidence
Schmid's sequence moves from Hearn's 1885 whiskey-cocktail formulas through Kappeler's named 1895 Old Fashioned and Bullock's 1917 bourbon specification. Name, spirit, sweetener, bitters, garnish, vessel, ice, and proportion change while a recognizable spirit–sugar–water–bitters relationship persists.
Interpretation
This is evidence of dated recipe versions and claimed continuity, not one timeless authentic formula.
Boundary
Schmid is a secondary compiler. Open the cited Hearn, Kappeler, and Bullock editions before asserting exact wording, invention, priority, or influence.
