Chemical Examination of Alcoholic Liquors - A Manual of the Constituents of the Distilled Spirits and Fermented Liquors of Commerce, and Their Qualitative and Quantitative Determination

An indispensable manual unravelling the qualitative and quantitative determination of distilled spirits and fermented liquors.

First published in 1875, this vintage volume was originally written as an outline of the basic chemistry of various alcoholic drinks to make it accessible to those with little scientific knowledge. Albert B. Prescott's Chemical Examination of Alcoholic Liquors manual offers a wealth of information on alcohol's composition and properties as well as its various uses and a look at the history and development of the alcohol industry.
