This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1832 edition. Excerpt: ... being dried on an iron plate or kiln, so as not to bum, thus the mortar would be discolored. When this is properly compounded, it should be put in small parcels against walls, or otherwise to mellow, as the workmen term it; reduced again to soft putty, or paste, and spread thin on the walls without any under coat, and well trowelled.
