Excerpt
The many Inhabitants of Cities and Towns, as well as Travelers, that have for a long time suffered great Prejudices from unwholsome and unpleasant Beers and Ales, by the badness of Malts, underboiling the Worts, mixing injurious Ingredients, the unskilfullness of the Brewer, and the great Expense that Families have been at in buying them clogg?d with a heavy Excise, has moved me to undertake the writing of this Treatise on Brewing, Wherein I have endeavor?d to set in sight the many advantages of Body and Purse that may arise from a due Knowledge and Management in Brewing Malt Liquors, which are of the greatest Importance, as they are in a considerable degree our Nourishment and the common Diluters of our Food; so that on their goodness depends very much the Health and Longevity of the Body.
