The full title is:
William Brownrigg (1711-1800), "The art of making common salt : as
now practised in most parts of the world : with several improvements
proposed in that art, for the use of the British dominions" (1748)
There are copies in the Bodleian Library and the libraries of the
universities of London and Glasgow.
A fifteen page leaflet (available at the University of London)
adapted from Dr Brownrigg's treatise is:
Robert Treat Paine (1731-1814), "The art of making common salt :
particularly adapted to the use of the American colonies" (1776)
These details come from COPAC, a "unified access to the catalogues of
some of the largest university research libraries in the UK and
Ireland", available at <http://copac.ac.uk/>. Fifteen university
libraries are already available, with another four currently being
added.
