Featuring amongst others

Young & Briggs (1922). Distillation principles and processes

Here's a little snippet

Early Dephlegmator (Fig 147 in Chapter XXXII)

[stilly_bugger]

I've only read the occasional section, but so far Young's Distillation Principles is a good read. Clear language, experimental, containing useful snippets for the hobbyist/enthusiast. Chapters 26 & 27 are very helpful, and they've got pictures!

The award for most elaborate title of an old liquor book has to go to

A PHILOSOPHICAL AND STATISTICAL HISTORY OF THE INVENTIONS AND CUSTOMS OF ANCIENT AND MODERN NATIONS IN THE MANUFACTURE AND USE OF INEBRIATING LIQUORS; WITH THE PRESENT PRACTICE OF DISTILLATION IN ALL ITS VARIETIES: TOGETHER WITH AN EXTENSIVE ILLUSTRATION OF THE CONSUMPTION AND EFFECTS OF OPIUM, AND OTHER STIMULANTS USED IN THE EAST, AS SUBSTITUTES FOR WINE AND SPIRITS

by none other than SAMUEL MOREWOOD, ESQUIRE (Collector of excise).
