Excerpt from Siebel's Manual and Record Book for Bakers and Millers: Comprising a Concise Yet Comprehensive Treatise on Modern Baking, as Also Scientific Information Important to the Baker and Miller, Together With a Collection in Convenient Form of Bread and Cake Formulae and Forms for Maintaining Bakeshop Records Considering that neither efforts nor expense have been spared in time, study, and original investigation so as to make this Manual a credit to the industries which it represents, as indeed also to the Institute itself, we may be permitted to transgress from the usual practice and enlarge somewhat more upon its scope. In the compilation of the data presented in the following pages, the fact was not overlooked that this manual as the name correctly indicates, was to serve as a ready and immediate reference book and at the same time we have constantly borne in mind the dire necessity of presenting in a brief, yet concise form the more pertinent elementary principles of the sciences involved. More space has been devoted to some Subjects than to others, but this is only true in such instances where brevity might entail an incorrect understanding, which we aim to avoid more particularly so where relating to the application of science to practice. Referring again to the compilation of the data it must be added that it has been found more expedient to re-arrange the same on a somewhat different plan than what had originally been anticipated, as was indicated by the sample copy of the table of contents which was issued before the matter had all gone to press. We are convinced that a perusal of\the Manual will make this readily evident, as also the further fact that only by this change were we able 'to add other chapters, and at the same time present the matter in a systematic manner.
