| Summary | "The History of Salt" by Evan Marlett Boddy is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book explores the various dimensions of salt, including its geographical distribution, geological formation, as well as its medicinal and dietetic properties. Boddy aims to highlight the essential role of salt in human diet and culture, while also challenging contemporary misconceptions regarding its health implications. The opening of the text introduces Boddy's intent to shed light on the often overlooked but crucial subject of salt, encouraging readers to reconsider their views on this ubiquitous substance. He criticizes the "grotesque aberrations" and misconceptions regarding salt's health benefits that have gained traction in society, stating that it is essential for proper nutrition and digestion. Boddy references ancient texts and historical accounts to underline salt's long-standing importance throughout human history, setting the stage for a detailed exploration of its applications and significance in later chapters.
