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."
