Excerpt from A Practical Treatise on the Manufacture of Vinegar: With Special Consideration of Wood Vinegar and Other by-Products Obtained in the Destruction Distillation of Wood, The Preparation of Acetates

The second edition of a Practical Treatise On The Manufacture Of Vinegar has been out of print for sometime, and there being no recent work to take its place notwithstanding the constant demand for a book on the various important branches of industry treated of, the publication of a new edition was deemed advisable.

Like the previous editions the volume is divided into three parts.

Pat I. is devoted to the Manufacture of Vinegar, and includes the production of wood vinegar and other by-products obtained in the destructive distillation of wood, as well as the preparation of acetates.

Part II. contains the Manufacture of Cider, Fruit Wines, etc., and Part III. the Preservation by various methods of Fruit and Vegetables, and of Meat, Fish, and eggs.

In this, the third edition, no essential changes have been made in the arrangement of the book, but it has been thoroughly revised and largely re-written, old and obsolete matter having been eliminated and new material introduced. The best authorities have been made diligently consulted and freely drawn on, for which due credit has, whenever possible, been given in the text.

It is hoped that this new edition will meet with the same favorable with reception as the previous ones, and that it will be of practical utility.

A copious table of contents as well as a very full index will render reference to any subject in the book prompt and easy.
