Concrete, Cements, Mortars, Artificial Marbles, Plasters and Stucco

Originally published in 1916, this book covers all the methods of mixing, proportioning, and application of plaster, mortar, stucco, lime, mastic and cement "in as simple and plain a manner as possible." The book includes much interesting history, and working drawings, ceiling designs and examples of ornamental stucco work.
