AComplete SystemOFDISTILLATION.
Distillationis the Art of separating, or drawing off the spirituous, aqueous, and oleaginous Parts of a mixt Body from the grosser, and more terrestrial Parts, by means of Fire, and condensing them again by Cold.
We shall therefore divide this Treatise into three Parts; in the first, we shall explain the Method of distilling Spirits from various Substances; in the second, the manner of drawing simple Waters; and in the third, the best Methods of making cordial or compound Waters.
