Complete Practical Distiller: Comprising the Most Perfect and Exact Theoretical and Practical Description of the Art of Distillation and Rectification (Cooking in America)

This 1880 work by Dr. M. La Fayette Byrn is the eighth edition of a hugely popular manual on the distillation of spirits from a variety of fruits and vegetables. Providing directions for the distillation and preparation of brandies and other spirits, this edition had appended to it M. Flinz's ""Practical Directions for Distilling,"" a text that had appeared separately in Paris and which the author felt would provide vital information to the reader.
