- PARMENTIER (Antoine Augustin). Instruction on syrups and preserves of grapes, intended to replace sugar in the main uses of domestic economy. Paris, Méquignon aîné, 1809. In-8, xv, 310 p., [3] f., red half calf, spine gilt, gilt title, candle paper cover preserved. Second edition, partly original. This memoir responds to a wish of Napoleon to substitute cane sugar, whose importation was made difficult by the blockade, in the main domestic uses. Parmentier's memoir was largely inspired by the research undertaken by Joseph Louis Proust (1754-1826) on the extraction of sugar from grapes, but beet was finally chosen.
Provenance: copy of the library of the gastronomic bibliophile Jean-Pierre Dol, his name stamped in gilt on the bottom of the spine.
Wide light spotting and other minor defects.
