A philosophical and statistical history of the inventions and customes of ancient and modern nations in the manufacture and use of inebriating liquors; with the present practice of distillation in all its varieties: together with an extensive illustration of the consumption and effects of opium, and other stimulants used in the East, as substitutes for wine and spirits . pply the fire until the operationis completed. The arrangement of that which is performed bydescent, is this: take a glass vessel, having a proper descent, with a lidwhich must be luted to the descending vessel, put in what is to bedistilled, and place the fire upon the lid. The arrangement of thatwhich is to be peformed by a filtre is this: place what is to be dis-tilled in a hollow stone, and let the broad part of the filtre be wellwashed, and water be placed in the hollow part; let the slender partproject over the edge of the stone, under which let a vessel be placedto receive the filtred substance.
