Excerpt from Stones: For Building and Decoration Since the appearance Of the first edition of this work there has been a very notable increase in the output of building stone from American quarries. How great this has been cannot be stated, unfortunately, since statistics are not available, but it is probable that the total annual output, as well as the amount Of capital invested, have both more than doubled.

Lathes, polishers, saws, and grinding beds representing Often an outlay Of many thousands Of dollars. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
