A Treatise on the Origin, Nature, and Varieties of Wine
by John Louis William Thudichum, August Dupré
1872
"Thudichum was a medical practioner and Dupré a Professor of Chemistry; their work is a valuable contribution to the literature of the wine trade, chiefly as a résumé of all that had been written in England, during the sixties, in favour of "Natural Wines", and also of what had been published in France and Germany about viticulture and the art of wine-making. There are many blemishes in the book, due to the fact that the two authors lacked practical knowledge of wine, and were too ready to ignore or deny what they failed to understand or were unable to explain scientifically. With all its faults, this book is nevertheless the most comprehensive modern treatise on the wine and its fruit in the English language." - Gabler, J.M. Wine into words ; A. Simon, Bibiliotheca vinaria, p. 13.
