Practical Treatise on the Manufacture of Spirits

Both practical and emblematic, this manufacturing manual reveals all the secrets related to distillation. Through historical concepts and explanations of the chemical and organic properties specific to each material, this book offers mastery of this ancestral art. The present work is part of a heritage conservation policy for French literature books implemented with the BNF. HACHETTE LIVRE and the BNF thus offer a catalog of unavailable titles, with the BNF having digitized these works and HACHETTE LIVRE printing them on demand. Some of these works reflect thought currents characteristic of their time, but which would be deemed condemnable today. Nevertheless, they remain part of the history of ideas in France and may present scientific or historical interest. The purpose of our editorial approach is to allow access to these works without in any way endorsing their content. For more information, visit www.hachettebnf.fr.
