Excerpt from Odorographia a Natural History of Raw Materials and Drugs Used in the Perfume Industry: Intended to Serve Growers, Manufacturers and Consumers
Encouraged by the reception given to the First Volume of this handbook (referred to as the 1st Series), the author, as suggested in his preface thereto, now issues a Second, which, in continuation of the subjects already discussed, includes a concise description of certain spices and products used as flavouring materials.
The information contained in the First Volume is now as far as possible brought up to date; the continued labours of chemists, especially in Germany and France, requiring such additional information to be recorded.
Special sections are devoted to the consideration of Empy-reumatic Oils and Ferment Oils, subjects which had not hitherto received the attention they required.
The concluding sixty pages describe the botanical characters of many plants which are capable of supplying fine Floral perfumes. These descriptions may appear somewhat lengthy, but such details will he found necessary to identify the species.
English and Foreign works of reference and journals are copiously quoted from as before.
The author is greatly indebted to Messrs. Schimmel & Co., of Leipzig, for much valuable practical information, which could scarcely be obtained from any other firm of Essential Oil Distillers in the world.
