Abstract
CERAMICS occupies a wide field, and in the United States it covers a wider range than in most other countries. Until near the end of the nineteenth century, notwithstanding the improvements introduced by such men as Wedgwood, Brongniart, Seger, and others, much of the work done on most factories continued to be carried out largely by ‘rule of thumb’ methods. During the present century, systematic research has been brought to bear on the chemical and physical factors on which the qualities of manufactured products must mainly depend; and in the volume under review the author aims at giving a comprehensive survey of the important results of the modern activities alluded to.
