Abstract
THE large employment of concrete for the construction of harbour-works, for building houses, paving streets, and other purposes, has created a considerable demand of late years for hydraulic cements. Cement manufacture is one of the comparatively new industries which have taken root in Ireland. This treatise of M. Le Chatelier is so valuable an addition to our knowledge of the chemistry of a great and important manufacture, that a short abstract of its contents will be welcome to many of the readers of NATURE, especially as the work is of unusual scientific interest.
Recherches Expérimentales sur la Constitution des Mortiers Hydrauliques.
Par M. H. Le Chatelier, Ingénieur des Mines. (Paris: Vve. Chas. Dunod, 1887.)
