    FROM THE AUTHOE’S PEE FACE TO THE GERMAN EDITION In the course of a number of years, during which I had the honour to act as assistant to Prof. Emil Chr. Hansen at the Carlsberg Laboratory, and to assist him in the practical courses of instruction conducted there from time to time, the wish was frequently expressed by students to have at their disposal a handbook which would contain an ade- quate description of the fittings, apparatus and methods of a fermentation laboratory, as well as of the biology of the organisms of fermentation ; in short, a guide by means of which the usual experi- ments of such a laboratory can be carried out. A similar request reaching me from the well-known publisher. Max Waag, of Stuttgart, I could but con- clude that a real necessity existed for such a book. The contents of the present work are divided into three sections. The first of these contains a description of the manner in which the science of the organisms of fermentation has gradually developed ; at the same time, an indication is given of the most important steps which have marked the progress of our science.
