A Short History of the Art of Distillation from the Beginnings up to the Death of Cellier Blumenthal

by R.J. Forbes

Distillation is an art. And even an ancient one. It is strange to find that the history of this oldest and still most important method of producing chemically pure substances has ever been written. The reader looking at the bibliography appended to this book might object that many data existed. This may be true but the proper history of the art from the origin up to the present time was lacking.

[ZOSIMOS · Rating 5 out of 5]

The best book on the history of distillation by a learned and profound scholar of the history of Chemistry and chemical technology. Even today, despite 76 years since the first edition, there is no equivalent book.
