Abstract
FEW materials of construction are more important than cement indeed some six million tons are made and used in Britain per annum. The cement works are mostly up to date, and the cost of the finished article is continually being reduced, whilst its quality is satisfying increasingly stringent standards. The chemical knowledge of the subject continues to grow, and it is this aspect that is contained in the present book, which is a considerably extended new edition of the work first written by Dr. Desch in 1911 and now long since out of print.
