This book was used by Jefferson for the brewing at Monticello. On September 17, 1813, he wrote to Captain Merewether: “
I lent you some time ago the London & Country brewer and Cambrun’s book [q.v. no. 1206]
on the same subject. we are this day beginning, under the directions of Capt Millar, the business of brewing Malt liquors,
and if these books are no longer useful to you I will thank you for them, as we may perhaps be able to derive some information
from them. Accpet the assurance of my respect & consideration.
