L'ouvrage retrace l'histoire du cacaoyer, avant de détailler la culture, la récolte, le commerce et la fabrication du cacao. Pharmacien et chocolatier, Auguste Gallais était le neveu et l'associé de Sulpice Debauve, fabricant de chocolat du roi. En 1820, il parcourut l'Amérique afin d'établir une cartographie des plantations de cacaoyers. La maison de chocolats Debauve et Gallais, créée en 1817, existe toujours aujourd'hui. Vicaire, 382 ; Bitting, 175 ; Cagle, 199.

Illustré de 3 lithographies : une carte dépliante des "Contrées équinoxales de l'Amérique pour servir à l'histoire du cacaoyer", une planche dépliante représentant le fruit du cacaoyer et une planche montrant les différentes espèces de cacao. En-têtes et culs-de-lampe gravés (piqûres et taches éparses). Reliure de l'époque : demi-basane bleue, dos lisse orné de filets, roulettes et fleurons dorés, tranches marbrées (coiffes et mors abîmés, mors supérieur légèrement fendu).
