Excerpt from The Manufacture of Chocolate and Other Cacao Preparations The section treating of legislative regulations relating to the trade in cacao preparations has undergone complete revision to adapt it to existing conditions. To render the book more useful, an appendix has been added in which the production and composition of several cacao preparations are treated oi, so that the book may be used for reference in that respect. The German edition having been out of print for nearly a year, some new and valuable contributions to the know ledge of cacao which appeared in the meanwhile must be likewise taken into consideration. They are duly noticed in these pages as well as the improved type of machines and thus the English edition has been brought up to date.
