Excerpt from American Cements
In a subject so large as that to which the present treatise is devoted it will not be regarded as strange that there are controverted points and matters concerning which the authorities are not in harmony.
The multitude of facts which must be taken into consideration readily accounts for these divergences of opinion.
In that portion of the present work which has to do with the theoretical and chemical side of this very practical subject special reference is made, and special attention given, to such branches of the subject as are particularly matters of doubt,' of conjecture, and of controversy.
A full and free discussion of such points has been thought de sirable.
In the conclusions reached in the present treatise concerning the various silicates of which natural and other cements are made up, and in regard to matters wherein the present writer notes his dissent from the ordinarily accepted hypotheses, it is believed that the theories, if such they may be termed, which are here advanced, account for by far the greater proportion of those incontestable facts which come to the view of every investigator, and which must not be ignored, but rather accounted for, and accorded a place in any worthy system.
The chief motive, however, which has animated the present work, has been a desire to see adequate consideration paid to the claims and merits of American rock cements.
