In this new edition of the well-known ballad the spirit of the gruesome revelation of a soul in torment is marred by the illustrations which, lacking any subtle suggestion of the horrors of the hangman and the terrors of death, are commonplace and repellant.

This book, descriptive in character, reaches a large audience, including the consumer, the manufacturer and the scientific as well as the general reader. It treats of the origin, manufacture and composition of food products; the description of common adulterations, food standards and national food laws and regulations. The information contained in this manual appeals especially to the intelligent and scientific cook.
“The book is invaluable to the manufacturer and the consumer, to the scientist and the layman; it is indispensable to even a small collection on this subject of wide, present-day interest.”
