$2 Download. Preservation of Food. 1857 – 106p

NOTICE.

The following Treatise is one of those excellent mono graphs

which have appeared in an annual that has been

published by Amb. Abel, of Leipzig, in Germany, under

the title of "Aus dejr Natuk," for some years past.

These volumes have secured high commendation in leading

reviews of that country, and the various papers they con tain

are full of instructive knowledge. The design of

every one of them is to bring down to the time of its being

written, in a popular form, the information relating to the

subject, mingling historical, theoretical and more especially

Practical views, so as to give a brief and yet complete view

i the topic chosen. In general this has been accomplished

nost successfully, and many of these monographs would be

of interest if presented in English to the reading public of

this country. The present small work is offered as. an

experiment to this effect. It is contained in the last volume

of the " Aus der Natur," and relates to a subject which it

is hoped will be found sufficiently attractive to secure for it

a favorable reception. Within the compass of less than

one hundred pages are condensed many facts in respect to

the preservation of food, both animal and vegetable, a con siderable

portion of which will, it is presumed, be new to

most readers.

I have put in a few notes on the margin, and at the

close, for the purpose of explanation or additional inform ation.
