Excerpt from Hops in Their Botanical, Agricultural and Technical Aspect and as an Article of Commerce Some time ago the author was asked by Mr. Hugo H. Hitschmann of the Wiener Landwirthschaftliche Zeitung to write a book on hops, but before that request was complied with a search was made through existing literature in order to ascertain whether it was desirable, opportune and thankworthy to sift and collect the available material into a uniform whole. As a matter of fact it was found that, subsequent to the appearance of the last comprehensive work on the subject (1888), so many views on the botany, cultivation and chemistry of the hop had undergone modification, that numerous remarkable advances had to be chronicled, especially in connection with the drying and preservation of hops and with the hop trade. These preliminary labours having proved fruitful the author felt disposed to accede to the above-mentioned request, but the labour of wading through the mass of materials and frequently conflicting views without losing the guiding thread was by no means light.
