Odorographia a Natural History of Raw Materials and Drugs Used in the Perfume Industry: Intended to Serve Growers, Manufacturers and Consumers (Classic Reprint)

Encouraged by the reception given to the First Yohime of this handbook (referred to as the 1st Series), the autlior, as suggested in his preface thereto, now issues a Second, which, in continuation of the subjects ah-eady discussed, inchides a concise description of certain spices and products used as flavouring materials. The information contained in the First Volume is now as far as possible brought up to date ;the continued labours of chemists, especially in Germany and France, requiring such additional information to be recorded. Special sections are devoted to the consideration of Empyreumatic Oils and Ferment Oils, subjects which had not hitherto received the attention they required. The concluding sixty pages describe the botanical characters of many plants which are capable of supplying fine Floral perfumes. These descriptions may appear somewhat lengthy, but such details will be found necessary to identify the species. English and Foreign works of reference and journals are copiously quoted from as before. The author is greatly indebted to Messrs. Schimmel Co., of Leipzig, for much valuable practical information, which could scarcely be obtained from any other firm of Essential Oil Distillers in the world. Brighton, March,
