The chemistry of foods : with microscopic illustrations / by James Bell.

London : Published for the Committee of Council on Education by Chapman and Hall, 1881-1883.

2 volumes : illustrations ; 20 cm.

"This work is intended partly as an aid to those who may desire to carefully examine the illustrations of food adulteration in the Bethnal Green Branch of the South Kensington Museum"--Preface, v. 1

According to the preface, 3 volumes were planned. Only 2 seem to have been published. Cf. NUC pre-1956, BLC. LC copy has a paper cover in v. 2 suggesting it was issued in 2 parts: Part IIA: milk, butter, cheese, lard; and Part IIB containing the remainder

This may possibly have also appeared under the title of 'The analysis and adulteration of foods', part 2 of which was printed in 1883 from the same publishers.

On series t.p. following series title: Branch Museum, Bethnal Green

On cover of both volumes appears, probably by error, a related series title: South Kensington Museum art handbook
