Checked against supplied scan. Citation supports an attributed account of the source, not independent validation. Generalized claims about French imports and mixtures remain uncorroborated. His positive use of adulteration complicates the earlier taxonomy. His hollow-particle and friction explanations, prescribed rest duration, and mixture arithmetic are not validated mechanisms or blending rules.
