A Practical Man [CHIDLOW, David]

A Treatise on the Manufacture of Spontaneous Yeast and General Exposition of the Principles underlying Fermentation. Containing also Simple Rules for governing Irregularities in Yeast and Bread Making

Melbourne, Slobom and Upham, Printers and Publishers ('The Reformer' Printing Works, 1892, 1 Union St., Brunswick), 1892.

Octavo, [iv] (advertisements), 94, [5] (advertisements) pages plus advertising on the outside rear cover.

Wrappers (with an equally-discursive but variant title on the front cover) a little marked, with the plain spine a little sunned and chipped; minor signs of use and age; a very good copy.

The cover title is somewhat more enticing: 'A Treatise on Spontaneous Yeast, how to make it and how to keep it. How to make a Moist Loaf; a Nutty, Sweet Flavoured Loaf, with a Rich Bloom. The Simplest Process in the World for making a Good Loaf'. Trove records two copies, one in each of the State Library of NSW and the SLV, with the latter supplying the identity of the author.
