EACH VOLUME CONTAINING 24 PAGES Large Crown 8vo., Cloth, Picture Cover SUGAR “Miss Browne ... gives a singularly full and an exceedingly interesting account of the cultivation of the sugar-cane and the sugar-beet in various countries of the world. This is followed by a lucid account of the making, the exporting, and the refining of sugar.... Twenty-six instructive photographs, excellently reproduced, embellish and add value to the book.”—Educational News. “This first volume is certainly a happy beginning. Miss Browne writes from first-hand knowledge, and she describes the life of the sugar from the Demerara plantations to the tea-table. The illustrations add to the charm of 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 continue all-important—cannot do better than read this little book.”—Morning Post. “The twenty-four excellent illustrations add considerably to the value of the book, which is heartily recommended to anyone desiring a non-technical account of rubber production”—Nature. TEA “It would be difficult to produce a more comprehensive or more charmingly interesting story of a world’s great commodity. The work is a result of experience, observation, information, and illustration obtained on the spot, and, as such, is remarkable value at the price.”—Schoolmaster. “An interesting little book ... the author has introduced the minimum of technicalities, and gives the maximum of information.”—Educational News.
