Excerpt from Beet-Sugar Manufacture The aim of this book is to refresh the memory of technical sugar men on the more important things observed in the conduct of a sugar-factory; it may serve, furthermore, as a guide for beginners in practical sugar-work, and as a basis for further studies. It is in no way intended that the book will replace any of the text-books or handbooks that treat of the manufacture of beet-sugar; in fact it is assumed that the reader already has a general knowledge of sugar-chemistry and sugar-technique. In such books, however, that which is of utmost importance to the practical sugar man, namely, the theoretical principles upon which the methods of working depend and the many rules, tricks, and numerous other little things learned by experience which are so necessary for the proper conduct of a sugar-factory, is either incompletely treated or vaguely distributed throughout the other subject-matter, lost practical sugar men, therefore, will find but little that is new in these pages, but it cannot be distasteful to them to have the matter briefly summarized so that they can look it over during the long pause between two campaigns. A book concerning the sugar-industry can be written only by one who has himself had practical experience. Consequently the author will be pardoned and not considered narrow-minded for having stated in many cases merely his own experience; at all events he has tried to make his treatment of the subject as objective as possible and with reference to the experience of others in so far as he has learned it from personal contact and from the literature.
