After the publication of Louis Pasteur's groundbreaking Studies On Fermentation, the microscope became a fixture in every brewery. This book, The Microscope in the Brewery & Malt-House, was first published in 1889, and then expanded and reprinted in a second edition ten years later. This particular copy is an original 1889 first edition, with 198 pages of detailed instruction relating to the use of the microscope in malting and brewing, complete with 30 illustrations. Fittingly, both the first and second editions were dedicated to their inspiration: "To Mons. Louis Pasteur. This book is inscribed by the authors, in grateful appreciation of the high scientific and practical value of the well-known researches in connection with fermentation undertaken by him in years past; and in admiration of the genius displayed in this and other branches of scientific investigation."
