The list of mixed drinks is prefaced by much good advice as to when and what to imbibe, and the author makes the point that the daintiest drinkers are also the most moderate, being in spirit much like the epicure who prefers a fine salad to all the other dishes of a great dinner.- New York Herald.
" The Flowing Bowl " came from the presses with its pages breathing the essence of vineyards, of musty cellars, of golden fruit, of fellowship and cheer. So cleverly written is the subject matter that the reader passes from the description of one drink to another with much the same feeling he would have, had he tasted each decoction. Beginning with the history of wine, beer, alcohol coffee, tea, and water. William goes into a chapter on physiology and diet. The composition of drinks and their adulteration is next touched upon, and a chapter on ethnography follows.- New York World.
