Extracts from a
Manuscript Paper
in French by Sir
Francis d'Ivernois
on the means of
supplying the
deficiency of Corn
p.12. Speaks in
the way of allusion
of a recent discovery
of a means of
preserving Corn
without hazard or
expence.

p.15. In such
cases it would be
proper to procure
authentic accounts
of the processes employed
as well in
Prussia as in Saxony
for keeping Rye
Flour for a long
course of years as
also in Sicily for
keeping Corn under
Ground as likewise
in Geneva
for keeping Wheat
in the Grain in
well aired Grainaries
the Registeries of
the Board of Corn
in that Town
might be capable
of furnishing a
series of valuable
experiments on the
quality of Corn of
the growth of different
Countries or
their comparative

which sort keeps
best and longest

method employed
for grinding Corn

p. 21. In a Prussian
Army stationed
on the Rhine in
the Year 1793 the
Author himself
observed the Soldier
eating Bread made
of Rye Flour taken
out of the Barrels
which had been
in the train of
the Army of Frederick
the Great (doubtless
he means with
some of this same
Rye in them) in
the last Campaigns
of the 7 Years War
The soldiers it is
true complained of
their Bread being
sour but there
could be no necessity
for thus keeping is
for a matter of 30
years.
