[Rarebooks] FS: Food Adulteration in 1887

[Joslin Hall Rare Books]

"Food Adulteration and Its Detection"

By Jesse P. Battershall. Published in New York by E. & F.N. Spon in 1887.

"To embody in a condensed form some salient features of the present status
of Food Adulteration in the United States is the object of this
volume....the photogravure plates, most of which represent the results of
recent microscopical investigation, are considered an important feature of
the book." The subjects include tea, coffee, chocolate, milk, butter,
cheese, bread, sugar, beer, wine and liquors, oils, mustard, spices,
pepper and other foods. An uncommon book in the marketplace.

Hardcover. 6"x9", 328 pages, plus 4 color and 8 b/w plates. Publisher's
brown cloth with impressed black device and rules and gilt titles. A clean
and bright copy.

With the pasted-in ownership plate of C. Smith Boynton, and his ownership
signature on the flyleaf and title page. Boynton, an 1864 graduate of
Bowdoin College in Maine, practiced medicine in New Hampshire until 1875
when he moved to Brandon, and then Burlington, Vermont as a druggist.
