cement being thus prepared, take 56 lb. of the commonly used in paint. To the end that fuch coarse fand and 43 lb. of the fine fand; mix them a water cement as I have defcribed may be made on a large plank of hard wood placed horizontal- as ufeful as it is poffible in all circumstances; and ly; then spread the fand fo that it may ftand to that no perfon may imagine that my claim and the height of fix inches, with a flat furface on the right under these letters patent may be eluded by plank; wet it with the cementing liquor; and let divers variations, which may be made in the foreany fuperfluous quantity of the liquor, which the going process without producing any notable defand in the condition described cannot retain, flow fect in the cement; and to the end that the prinaway off the plank. To the wetteft fand add 14 ciples of this art, as well as the art itself of maklb. of the putrefied lime in feveral fucceffive por- ing my cement, may be gathered from this specitions, mixing and beating them up together in fication and perpetuated to the public; I fhall the mean time with the inftruments generally ufed add the following obfervations: This my water in making fine mortar: then add 14 lb. of the cement, whether the coarfe or fine grained, is apbone ash in fucceffive portions, mixing and beat- plicable in forming artificial ftone, by making aling all together. The quicker and the more per- ternate layers of the cement and of flint, hard fectly thefe materials are mixed and beaten to- ftone, or brick, in moulds of the figure of the in'gether, and the fooner the cement thus form- tended ftoue, and by expofing the males fo formed is used, the better it will be. This I call the ed to the open air to harden: but they must not water cement coarfe grained, which is to be applied be expofed to rain till they are as hard as Portin building, pointing, plaftering, stuccoing, or o land ftone. When fuch cement is required for ther work, as mortar and ftucco now are; with water fences, two 3ds of the prefcribed quanthis difference chiefly, that as this cement is fhort- tity of bone ashes are to be omitted; and in the er than mortar or common ftucco, and dries foon- place thereof an equal measure of powdered terer, it ought to be worked expeditiously in all ras is to be ufed; and if the fand employed be cafes; and in ftuccoing, it ought to be laid on not of the coarseft fort, more terras must be adby fliding the trowel upwards on it; that the ded, fo that the terras fhall be by weight one materials ufed along with this cement in build- 6th part of the weight of the fand. When fuch ing, or the ground on which it is to be laid in a cement is required of the fineft grain, or in a ftuccoing, ought to be well wetted with the ce- fluid form, fo that it may be applied with a brush, menting liquor, in the inftant of laying on the flint powder, or the powder of any quartofe or cement; and that the cementing liquor is to hard earthy fubftance, may be used in the place be used when it is neceffary to moiften the ce- of fand; but in a quantity fmaller, as the flint or ment, or when a liquid is required to facilitate other powder is finer; fo that the flint-powder, the floating of the cement. When fuch ce- or other fuch powder, shall not be more than fix ment is required to be of a finer texture, take times the weight of the lime, nor less than four 98 pounds of the fine fand, wet it with the ce- times its weight. The greater the quantity of menting liquor, and mix it with the purified lime lime within these limits, the more will the ceand the bone afh in the quantities and in the man- ment be liable to crack, by quick drying, and ner above defcribed; with this difference only, vice verfa. Where fuch fand as I prefer canthat 15 lb. of lime, or thereabouts, are to be used not be conveniently procured, or where the fand instead of 14 lb. if the greater part of the fand be cannot be conveniently washed and forted, that as fine as Lynn fand. This I call water cement fand which moft refembles the mixture of coarse fine grained. It is to be used in giving the last and fine fand above prefcribed, may be used coating, or the finish to any work intended to i- as I have directed, provided due attention is mitate the finer grained ftones or ftucco. But it paid to the quantity of the time, which is to be may be applied to all the ufes of the water ce- greater as the quantity is finer, and vice verja. ment coarse grained, and in the fame manner. Sea fand well washed will answer. Where fand When for any of the foregoing purposes of point- cannot be easily procured, any durable ftony ing, building, &c. fuch a cement is required much body, or baked earth grofsly powdered, and fortcheaper and coarfer grained, then much coarfer ed nearly to the fizes above prescribed for fand, clean fand than the foregoing coarse fand, or well may be ufed in the place of fand, measure for wathed fine rubble, is to be provided. Of this mesure, but not weight for weight, unless such coarse fand or rubble take 56 lb. of the foregoing grofs powder be as heavy fpecifically as fand. coarte fand 28 lb. and of the fine fand 14 ib.; and Sand may be cleaned from every fofter, lighter, after mixing thefe, and wetting them with the and lefs durable matter, and from that part of cementing liquor in the foregoing manner, add the fand which is too fine, by various methods 14 lb. or fomewhat lefs, of the purified lime, and preferable, in certain circumstances, to that which then 14 lb. or somewhat lefs of the bone ash, I have defcribed. Water may be found naturalmixing them together as above. When my ce- ly free from fixable gas, felenite, or clay; fuch ment is required to be white, white fand, white water may, without any notable inconvenieace, lime, and the whiteft bone afh are to be chofen. be used in the place of the cementing liquor; and Grey fand, and grey bone ash formed of haif burnt water approaching this flate will not require fo bones, are to be chofen to make the cement grey; much lime as I have ordered to make the cementand any other colour of the cement is obtained, ing liquor; and a cementing liquor iufficiently either by choofing coloured fand, or by the ad- ufeful may be made by various methods of mixmixture of the neceffary quantity of coloured tale ing lime and water in the defcribed proportions, in powder, or of coloured, vitreous, or metallic or nearly fo. When tone lime cannot be propowders, or other durable colouring ingredients cured, chalk lime or thell lime, which beft re fembles fumbles ftone lime, in the characters above written of lime, may be used in the manner defcribed, except that fourteen pounds and a half of chaik line will be required in the place of four. teen pounds of stone lime. The proportion of lime which I have prefcribed above may be increafed without inconvenience, when the cement or ftucco is to be applied where it is not liable to dry quickly; and in the contrary circumstance, this proportion may be diminished; and the defect of lime in quantity or quality may be very advantageously fupplied by caufing a confiderable quantity of the cementing liquor to foak into the work, in fucceffive portions, and at dif tant intervals of time, fo that the calcareous matter of the cementing liquor, and the matter attracted from the open air, may fill and ftrengthen the work. The powder of almoft every well dried or burnt animal fubftance may be used in ftead of bone afh; and feveral earthy powders, especially the micaceous and the metallic; and the elixated afhes of divers vegetables whofe earth will not burn to lime; and the athes of mineral fuel, which are of the calcareous kind, but will not burn to lime, will answer the ends of bone afh in fome degree. The quantity of bone ash defcribed may be leffened without injuring the cement, in those circumstances especially which admit the quantity of lime to be leffened, and in those wherein the cement is not liable to dry quickly. And the art of remedying the defects ime may be advantageously practifed to fupply the deficiency of bone afh, especially in building, and in making artificial stone with this cement. (1.) * STUCK.
