To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
241 of alcohol take place. From potato starch, treated in this way, large quantities of spirit (potato brandy) are manu- factured in France, Germany, and the northern countries of Europe. But by a still more beautiful process the starch of barley and other grains is converted into grape sugar before it is removed from the seed, and is then split up as before, by means of yeast, into alcohol, water, and carbonic acid. In a previous chapter* it has been shown that these grains consist essentially... of two principal substances starch and gluten. When moistened, in favourable circumstances, the grain begins to sprout. The starch and gluten it contains are, of course, intended to form the first food of the young plant ; but these substances are insoluble in water, and therefore cannot, in their natural state, pass onwards from the body of the seed to supply the wants of the growing germ. It has been beautifully provided, therefore, that both of them should undergo chemical changes as the sprout- ing proceeds.
