Note 1 — Chapter I · On the Intimate Relation existing between the Deterioration of Beer, or the Wort from which it is Made, and the Process of Brewing.

This expression is found for the first time, it would appear, in Theophrastus, B.C. 371. [See, however, Herodotus, Bk. II., chap. 77. Speaking of some Egyptians he says, “They drink a kind of wine made from barley (ὄινῳ δ’ ἐκ κριθέων πεποιημένῳ), for the grape does not grow in that part of the country.” Herodotus wrote about 450 B.C. Æschylus (480 B.C.) has a similar expression, Suppl. 953.—D. C. R.]
