Letter to the Honourable the Committee of the House Commons, upon the Scotch Distilleries respecting privileges claimed by the Highland Distillers. With strictures upon a late publication, upon the same subject, said to be wrote by a Scoth nobleman.

A brief account of a new invention, for which has been obtained his Majesty's royal letters patent. It consists of a peculiar method of constructing and setting Boilers, of any dimensions, in Fire-Engines, Salt-Works, Brew-Houses, Distilleries, Sugar-Houses, and Sugar-Works; and also in Allum, Coperas, Roman-Vitriol, and Saltpetre-Works, in such a well-contrived method, that more than the half part of coals and fuel is saved, and yet obtained ... quicker and larger dispatch of business in every respect. Published by the patentee, Christopher Chrysel.

Some observations relative to the state of the distilleries in Scotland and the laws regarding them.
