This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1887 Excerpt: ...S. ii. 448, 498; iii. 75, 177).--As two corre spondents have quoted my edition of 'Elia on the subject of the above essay, may I add that the exact title of the work in which these 'Confessions' first appeared is as follows: "Some Enquiries into the Effects of Fermented Liquors.
