Transcriber’s Notes
Obvious typographical errors have been silently corrected. Variationsin hyphenation have been standardised but other spelling andpunctuation remains unchanged. Variable spelling of the names of herbshave been corrected in the case of Stæchus which was sometimes spelledStæchas and Zedoary sometimes spelled Zeadory.
The introductory text to Part II appears to have been erroneouslyheaded Chapter I. It has no subtitle and is not listed in the Contents.To avoid the confusion of duplicated Chapter numbers, this heading has beenremoved.
The cover was prepared by the transcriber and is placed in the public domain.

THE
PREFACE.
It is now some Years since I firstformed a Design of compiling acomplete System of Distillation;and accordingly read most of theTreatises on that Subject, and extractedfrom each what I thought necessaryfor my Purpose, proposingto supply the Defects from my ownExperience. It is, however, morethan probable, that this Design hadnever been executed, had not aFrench Treatise of Distillation[1] fellinto my Hands; but finding in thatBook many useful Observations, anda great Number of Recipes for makingvarious Sorts of compound Watersand Cordials, I determinedto finish the Work I had begun, beingnow enabled to render it much moreuseful than it was possible for me otherwiseto have done.
