Abstract
DR. WILEY remarks that his book “is not written for the scientific investigator, but for the average, sober-minded, reasonably well-educated American citizen.” A general account of the beverages discussed is, in fact, what is given, neither severely technical nor flimsily “popular.” The facts are stated carefully, as would be expected from the author, but little or no scientific knowledge on the part of the reader is assumed.
Beverages and their Adulteration. Origin, Composition, Manufacture, Natural, Artificial, Fermented, Distilled, Alkaloidal, and Fruit Juices.
By Dr. Harvey W. Wilcy. Pp. xv + 421 + n plates. (London: J. and A. Churchill, 1919.) Price 21s. net.
