Excerpt from A Manual on Lime and Cement: Their Treatment and Use in Construction A review of a book on Portland Cement ended with these words: "The latest information on a dry and dusty subject." The adjectives may seem somewhat disparaging of the subject, yet the writer was evidently a man of far wiser discernment than to intend giving encouragement to aspiring souls who consider such information as insignificant detail, not worthy of serious attention. Those engaged in constructive work can hardly fail to recognise the importance of a thorough knowledge of cementing materials: it needs no proof, and may be briefly summed in the paraphrase, "No good cement, no good building."

Excerpt from Hydrated Lime: History, Manufacture and Uses in Plaster, Mortar, Concrete; A Manual for the Architect, Engineer, Contractor and Builder Lime, Which possesses many advantages over the older Lump Lime. The art of using lime is one of the very oldest connected with the building trade and was probably brought to its greatest perfection by the Greeks and Romans. Since these ancient times until very recently little or no improvement has been introduced in the preparation of plaster or stucco made from lime. Probably the reason for this is the time and care required to slake the lump lime used to prepare the mortar. With the use of hydrated lime the time required to slake and age the quick lime is done away with. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
