Abstract

(1)THIS book gives an exhaustive account of the various processes involved in the preparation of plasters, limes, and cements, and of the examination of these materials both by chemical and by physical tests. It is probably one of the most complete treatises which has been published up to the present day on this subject, and the author justifies the thoroughness of the treatment by statistics in regard to the monetary value of the cementing material annually produced in Europe and America; in the United States the monetary value of cementing materials increased from 21,773,246 dollars in 1900 to 45,607,436 dollars in 1903.
