Excerpt from Wheat and the Flour Mill: A Handbook for Practical Flour Millers Our small library Of Milling Technology can be divided into three groups of books; each group indicates the metier of the author, mechanics, chemistry, or practice. The last-named group is the least prolific, and to it this book belongs. Edward bradfield was'a miller, and never confused his claims with those of the chemist or the engineer. He saw that his craftsmanship provided in itself a whole subject, and he used up the zeal and energy of his youth in an effort to focus for to-day all the light which he could throw, or which had been thrown, on that subject. He was Old enough to be something of a seer with a thought for the long, slow road we had traversed§ and an outlook for the future; he was young enough to be something of a revolutionary with a laugh and a shout for each new plunge that might precipitate some healthy change, or break a shackle of the past. When such a man writes a book, it is worth a young man's while to read it, even though, as in this case, it is only concerned with a record - a focus, as it were - Of the craft sense at the time of writing. His best work was done for the apprentice. In the pages of Milling and elsewhere he used his undoubted talent to clear the way for the young miller, particularly, I believe, for the man whose education had not wholly been made good by the opportunities afforded in sweeping ﬂour mill ﬂoors in the beginning Of his teens. This book was meant for these men in its conception; in its completion it will be helpful to all. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
