Excerpt from A Philosophical and Statistical History of the Inventions and Customs of Ancient and Modern Nations in the Manufacture and Use of Inebriating Liquors; With the Present Practice of Distillation in All Its Varieties
Fourteen years having elapsed since the first publica tion of this work, and the design having met the appro bation of many respectable writers, the Author is induced to offer to the public an improved edition, amplified, extended, and rendered more worthy of atten tion by the addition of new, original, and valuable matter. Hopes were indeed entertained that, as this was the first publication on a subject hitherto untouched by any writer in the British empire, it would have excited the curiosity. And employed the talents and research of other individuals more at leisure; nothing, however, during such a lapse of time, has been offered to the public exactly on the plan of this undertaking.
