(1) Manual for the Essence Industry (2) The Industrial and Artistic Technology of Paint and Varnish

Abstract

(1) THE phrase “essence industry” in the title of this volume covers more than an English reader might at first sight associate with it. In point of fact, the book is a treatise upon the manufacture of most of the things, or ingredients of things, which are intentionally flavoured, coloured, or perfumed, as a means of preparing them for human use. These include non-alcoholic beverages, such as lemonade and other “mineral” waters; alcoholic preparations like liqueurs, cordials, and bitters; flavourings and spices used in baking, cooking, and confectionery making; and essences used for the manufacture of perfumes, dentifrices, and other toilet articles.
