3996 RICHARDSON (John) PHILOSOPHICAL PRINCIPLES of the SCIENCE of BREWING, containing 

 Theoretic Hints on an Improved Practice of Brewing Malt-Liquors, and Statical Estimates of the 

 Materials for Brewing, or a Treatise on the APPLICATION and USE of the SACCHAEQMETER, 

 including Tables and Directions for using it, 3rd [last] Edition, front., 8vo. boards, uncut (rare), 

 15s York, 1805 



'In this work he dwells on the utility of the thermometer and saccharometer in brewing, instead of determining 

 quantities by rule of thumb. He was the first to bring to the knowledge of brewers the use and value of the saccharo- 

 meter, as Combrune in 1762 had first recommended the thermometer. 1 D. N. B.
