Disinfection and the Preservation of Food

A scarce copy of Disinfection and Preservation of Food. Together with an Account of the Chemical Substances used as Antiseptics and Preservatives. By Samuel Rideal, Author of Water and its Purification and Sewage and the Bacterial Purification of Sewage. In a dark green cloth binding with gilt lettering to the spine and gilt embellishment to the front board. Externally, sound with slight rubbing. There is some bumping to the top and tail of the spine. Corners are bumped. Internally, generally firmly bound. Pages are generally bright and clean with some scattered light foxing and browning to the end-papers. Very Good.
