The History of Bread from Pre-historic to Modern Times

By John Ashton

Book Overview

Excerpt from the Preface: "It seems extraordinary, but it is, nevertheless, a fact, that, up to this present time, there has not been written, in the English language, a History of Bread, although it is called 'the Staff of Life, ' and really is a large staple of food. There have been small brochures on the subject, and large volumes on the Chemistry of Bread, its making and baking; and long controversies as to the merits of whole meal, and other kindred questions, but no History. It is to remedy this that I have written this book, in which I have endeavoured to trace Bread from Pre-historic to Modern Times.
