NOTE.

Reference in detail to the numerous authorities who have been laid under contribution for this brochure would be out of place in so popular a compilation, but the writer desires to express his special indebtedness to "Cocoa: All about It" by "Historicas," not only for facts, but also for some of his ill.u.s.trations. To Messrs. Cadbury, too, he is indebted for permission to use several of the ill.u.s.trations, as well as for much valuable information.
