" A standard and a classic in its own domain."—Nor^/t British Daily Mail {Glasgow).
" A notable contribution to the history of social casXoras,."—Manchester Guardian.
" A classical standard work. Unquestionably raises the status of the trade."— Z^^ Miller.
" A monumental work. Will rank as of the highest character among the literary products of the age."—Milling.
" Of exceptional interest to the man of ordinary culture whose mind is attracted to the development of the world
in the arts of peace."—North British Daily Mail {Glasgow).
" Far removed from the ordinary rut of books, it charms and fascinates the lover of the ancient age and of old-
world times."— Confectioner and Baker {London).
"A comprehensive work, characterised by painstaking thoroughness; full of information largely drawn from
original sources set forth in an interesting manner."— Antiquary.
" The authors have the satisfaction of knowing that their work has been well and thoroughly done, and they will
have the cordial thanks of all who are interested in the history oi m\\\mg."~North-Westem Miller {Minneapolis).
" Bids fair to be accepted as the standard as well as the official history. The archaeological, the historical
the industrial; and even the mythic and legendary aspects of the subject receive full and interesting treatment,
and are all handled with thoroughness and ability."— .Scotsman.
" A splendid contribution to English technical literature : a record of most profound research, complete in every
sense of the word, graphically and entertainingly told. Millers all over the English-speaking world will always be
indebted to the painstaking gentlemen who have gotten out the hook."—Millers' Review {Philadelphia).
" Comprehensive, interesting, and instructive. Immense pains have obviously been taken to refer to originals or
other authoritative sources of information. The classic references are numerous and copious. It is good for any
industry to have its history written with the care and skill indicated."— Athemeutn.
•'Judging from the deep research and painstaking efforts evidenced on almost every page, the work has evidently
been a labour of love with the authors. Essentially the volumes are books to be read in our leisure time ; yet
indispensable books, for all that, to every one even remotely interested in the trade."—London Corn Circular.
"A notable and unique addition to our national history. By no means a mere history of the grinding of grain ; for
that subject serves but as the pivot upon which turns an entirely new record of conditions of life and labour which
formerly, and indeed until comparatively recently, prevailed throughout Europe." — Liverpool Journal o/ Commerce.
"The first dip into the book discloses that it is of curious interest. The materials are much more copious than
might be supposed, and the authors have collated them with much success. It is unexpectedly interesting, full of
curious knowledge, embodying much research, and written in a very interesting maxtnGX."—Birmingham Daily Post.
" The mere collection of facts from so many scattered sources would be a good service to archaeology ; but the
authors have done more. The very history is a cheerful and encouraging story of human advance from hard and often
hopeless drudgery to an intelligent adaptation of the forces put at the disposal of man by kindly Nature."—/t^ar^/a/
Royal Society of Antiquaries, Ireland.
"One of the most absorbing books connected with the trade we have ever had the pleasure of reading. The
highest thanks are due to the late Mr. Bennett for finding the resources, and to Mr. Elton for the literary skill,
patient research, and capacity to compile so extensive a treatise. Mr. Elton has apparently studied every document
he could discover in our own and in the ancient and modern continental languages having allusion to the subject ;
and no expense has been spared by his munificent collaborator to produce the work in a style worthy of the most
erudite treatise."— T^i? Miller.
