Trade.--Index.

=Press Opinions.=

"The subject is dealt with fully in every little detail;
consequently, even the veriest tyro can take away some useful
information from its pages."--_Irish Farming World._

"Farmers are but little given to reading; but nowadays brewers have
to study their trade and keep abreast of its every aspect, and as
far as regards our trade, to them this book especially appeals, and
will be especially useful."--_Licensed Victuallers' Gazette._

"Like an oasis in the desert comes a volume upon the above subject,

an interesting and instructive addition to the library of any brewer
or brewers' chemist, the more so as the work of translation has been
admirably carried out in simple and vigorous English.... The volume
is one of a valuable series of special technical wo
