PREFACE TO THE THIRD EDITION. 



In accordance with numerous suggestions, very 

 considerable additions have been made to this little 

 book, in preparing it for a new edition; several 

 important practical matters, not treated of in the 

 former editions, having been introduced. Brief 

 descriptions of the more important of the domestic 

 arts, such as wine and vinegar making, brewing, 

 the manufacture of spirits, baking, cheese-making, 

 cookery, &;c., have been added; together with some 

 account of the scientific principles involved in those 

 arts. Numerous recent analyses of agricultural 

 crops have likewise been given, and the whole has 

 been carefully revised and corrected.
