Excerpt from The Mine of Wealth and Guide for the Million: Containing the Secret System and Instructions for the Manufacture of Wines, Liquors, Cordials, and Bitters, Enabling Every One to Manufacture for Himself; Cookery in All Its Branches; The Art of Producing Beautiful Fireworks
It has been said by a modern writer that facts are the firmest friends of common sense. In no department of information are common sense facts, that is to say proven data, more important than in a volume of receipts. In the Mine of Wealth, for such is the title we have given the present compend of useful knowledge, will be found such materials familiarly presented as shall justify this appellation. Like the gems of the poet the interior of this Mine is both rich andj'are for not only is it valuable in regard to the secrets it divulges, but in the rarity of the information given. The costliness of some works upon this subject, and the unreliability of others made a want, that this is calculated to supply.
The publisher has long been in possession of a number of useful formulae for which at different times he has been offered large sums of money. The present volume owes its origin to a desire to make generally known that which privately disposed of, might never meet the public eye; but as a very large sale of copies is justly an ticipated the confidence of the publisher in the popular appreciation is not likely to be disappointed.
