SUGAR
“Miss Browne ... gives a singularly full and an exceedingly interestingaccount of the cultivation of the sugar-cane and the sugar-beet in variouscountries of the world. This is followed by a lucid account of the making, theexporting, and the refining of sugar.... Twenty-six instructive photographs,excellently reproduced, embellish and add value to the book.”—EducationalNews.
“This first volume is certainly a happy beginning. Miss Browne writesfrom first-hand knowledge, and she describes the life of the sugar from theDemerara plantations to the tea-table. The illustrations add to the charmof the work.”—Manchester Courier.
RUBBER
“It is interestingly written, free from technicalities, and excellently illustrated.Those who wish for a 'peep’ at this all-important industry—which,in spite of ever-recurring discoveries of 'artificial rubber,’ is likely to continueall-important—cannot do better than read this little book.”—MorningPost.
“The twenty-four excellent illustrations add considerably to the value ofthe book, which is heartily recommended to anyone desiring a non-technicalaccount of rubber production”—Nature.
TEA
