Whymper's rewritten and enlarged manual based on Auguste Jacoutot's Chocolate & Confectionery Manufacture (1903). Recipes are rendered in industrial scale - marshmallows calling for 25 lbs of sugar, 30 lbs glucose, 3 1/2 lbs starch, etc... - and are interspersed with numerous illustrations of industrial confectionery equipment such as the "perforated revolving copper confit pan," the "four-roll almond blancher," and the "standard cocoa nibbing, husking and winnowing machine fan separator type with elevator," among others. Prior owner Morris A Pozen was editor of Modern Brewery Age and the author of Successful Brewing (1935), and had served variously as a chemist for the Department of Health, Department of Agriculture, and the Schwarz Laboratories, as well as a pharmacy professor at George Washington University.
