    Scope & contentResearch into the milling industry and use of wind and water mills in Iceland. Previous to the nineteenth century the majority of flour was imported meaning much was spoiled by the time it arrived. The lifting of a trade monopoly meant that only unground (and so unspoiled) grain was imported, meaning there was an increased necessity for mills. Describes the popularity of watermills over windmills and a compiled list of windmills.Contains illustrations, maps and diagrams of Icelandic mills and their locations.
