内容説明

This monograph substantiates the industry's rise and contributions in an age when distilled beverages had much good to contribute to mankind and added to the power of the West, to explore, to trade and to conquer where others sickened and failed. The text contains rich anecdotal material and contempporary observations that illuminate the subject from Tudor times to the mid-18th century.
