Full title: "Treatises on Brewing...with notes, and an introduction containing a biographical sketch of the author and two papers on specific gravity. Including an account of the various hydrostatical instruments which have been used in the brewery; and on Malting"

A tome devoted largely to investigations made by the author, who was one of the earliest to make extensive use of the hydrometer in brewing to establish the gravity of wort and beer. (He did so in defiance of the great prejudice among brewers against this new technology, including his own father, in whose brewery the author secretly conducted his earliest experiments).

The author also devotes a portion of the book defending brewers against the common belief that beer was adulterated with harmful substances other than malt and hops. An age-old issue.
