| L J Vicat's investigations into
the nature and use of limes first appeared in this English
language edition in 1837. It is of immense interest and importance
as it critically reviews the practices of time sifting the
good ones from the bad by careful experiment. The classification
which he prepared is still valid today and enables the best
possible use to be made of any lime, particularly for hydraulic
works. Contents: Limestones; calcination of limestone; hydraulic
limes; slaking of limes; expansion of limes; hydrate of lime;
sands and their qualities; pozzolanas; mortars or cements
intended for immersion, or that are exposed to the weather,
or subjected to constant damp soil; natural cements; ancient
mortars and other theories of calcareous mortars and cements.
