Cocoa and Chocolate Their History from Plantation to Consumer The
industry with which this book deals is changing slowly from an art
to a science. It is in a transition period (it is one of the
humours of any live industry that it is always in a transition
period). There are many indications of scientific progress in cacao
cultivation; and now that, in addition to the experimental and
research departments attached to the principal firms, a Research
Association has been formed for the cocoa and chocolate industry,
the increased amount of diffused scientific knowledge of cocoa and
chocolate manufacture should give rise to interesting developments.
Although there are several excellent scientific works dealing in a
detailed manner with the cacao bean and its products from the
various view points of the technician, there is no comprehensive
modern work written for the general reader. Until that appears, I
offer this little book, which attempts to cover lightly but
accurately the whole ground, including the history of cacao, its
cultivation and manufacture. This is a small book in which to treat
of so large a subject, and to avoid prolixity I have had to
generalise. This is a dangerous practice, for what is gained in
brevity is too often lost in accuracy: brevity may be always the
soul of wit, it is rarely the body of truth. The expert will find
that I have considered him in that I have given attention to recent
developments, and if I have talked of the methods peculiar to one
place as though they applied to the whole world, I ask him to
consider me by supplying the inevitable variations and exceptions
himself.
