Excerpt from The Manufacture of Liquors, Wines and Cordials, Without the Aid of Distillation: Also the Manufacture of Effervescing Beverages and Syrups, Vinegar, and Bitters, Prepared and Arranged Expressly for the Trade All subjects affecting the interests of society generally, have been discussed and examined, and all questions within the range of importance, have been adequately illustrated; and whence the neglect of a matter of as much importance as the following pages, it is difficult to conceive. Thousands have acquired wealth from a knowledge of this business; and have passed from the stage of action, without leaving to the world the marks of their progress and improvements; and all previous works upon the Manufacture of Liquors were vague and unsatisfactory, furnishing no reliable information to warrant a speculative investment; for persons possessing really valuable information upon this subject, have found a greater remuneration hi manufacturing than in publishing. But few of the dram-drinking masses are acquainted with the modus operandi of a business, which affects, to no inconsiderable extent, both health and wealth, and that their own ignorance has often tested the strength of their constitutions, through the medium of "A pure old Article," or, "A choice old Brand;" and hence, the obvious necessity of a work upon this subject will not be denied, thus removing many popular errors regarding the production of liquors; and the dissemination of such knowledge would crush the cupidity of manufacturers, and articles of spirit so often found hi commerce, containing deleterious adulterations.
