which

the
inside
may
be
seen,

in
every
part
of
the
interior,

rectifier,
placed
on
the
top
of
the
column,
in
which
the
low
wines,
returning
from
the
condenser
at
the
distiller's
leisure,
are
rectified
by^the
steam
of
water
ascending
from
the
column;
the
residue
of
the
rectifier
leaves
the
tube
q
^,
and
runs
into
the
boiler
A.
D,
wash-warming
condenser;
the
conduits
of
which,
in-
tended
to
receive
the
steam,
are of
a
peculiar
form,
pre-
senting
a
large
condensing
surface.
The
matter
to
be
distilled
is
constantly
introduced
into
it
by
means
of
a
pump
h,
through
a
funnel
h
li
;
the
vapours
arise
from
the
column,
are
condensed,
and
heat
this
matter
to
80°.
The
products
of
condensation
are
divided
by
the
stop-
cocks
7
and
8,
which
may
be
opened
to
send
back
into
the
rectifier
those
that
do
not
possess
the
requisite
strength,
ii
u
serves
to
stir
the
matter
in
the
condenser,
to
prevent
the
heavy
part
from
settling
at
the
bottom.
E
is
a
common
refrigerator
immersed
in
water.
F
is
a
probe,
into
which
the
produce
of
distillation
is
received.
In
the
middle
branch
(/,
covered
with
a
glass
bell,
an
hydrometer
and
thermometer
are
placed;
e/
is
a
branch
formed
by
a
glass
tube
;
the
products
of
distil-
lation
are
seen
running
through
the
small
tube
e
;
they
run
through
/into
the
vessels
intended
to
receive
them.
G
is
a
vessel
into
which
the
spent-wash
falls
;
it
comes
in
through
^,
and
runs
out
through
m.
This
vessel
fills
the
functions
of
an
hydraulic
safety-valve.
H
is
a
vessel
with
a
plunging-tub;
in
case
(which
is
not
at
all
likely
to
happen)
the
matter
in
distillation
should
ascend
into
the
column,
it
could
not
proceed
to
the
con-
