The Complete Practical Distiller: Comprising the Most Perfect and Exact Theoretical and Practical Description

This 1880 work by Dr. M. La Fayette Byrn is the eighth edition of a hugely popular manual on the distillation of spirits from a variety of fruits and vegetables. Providing directions for the distillation and preparation of brandies and other spirits, this edition had appended to it M. Flinz's "Practical Directions for Distilling" a text that had appeared separately in Paris and which the author felt would provide vital information to the reader.
