Description

This facsimile reproduction presents L. J. Vicat's landmark 1837 English translation of his investigations into limes and mortars, translated by Captain J. T. Smith with extensive period notes on English developments. Vicat's work remains invaluable for its rigorous experimental approach to assessing lime properties and practices, distinguishing effective methods from outdated ones through systematic testing. The text includes practical procedures for evaluating the nature of lime from any deposit, establishing classification systems that advanced the understanding of binding materials. Historians, conservators, and architects studying historic building practices and lime mortar technology will find this facsimile an essential reference for understanding 19th-century cement and mortar science.

Key Features
