It is a fact that this class of industries has always been sur- 
rounded by great mysteries. No one could find out the methods 
employed, and but few could gain access even to the inside of 
the factories. Manufacturers of the necessary machinery have 
refused to show the drawings of the machines. So in the face 
of all this appears this complete treatise, “the only book on 
the subject ever published in the English language.” The work 
treats of the formation, substance and nature of starch, its 
physical and chemical properties, and its manufacture; also the 
manufacture of starch-sugar, dextrine, etc. Those who are in- 
terested in this branch of study will weleome a work of this 
kind, for which there has been a demand for years. It is ex- 
haustive and complete.
