First published in 1927 by the Building Research Station, this
volume provides a classification of lime and a complete review of
its various uses in building construction and repair. This
facsimile edition should be of interest and of practical value
since the methods, terminology and practices detailed by Cowper are
still valid today. A brief historical introduction to the subject
is followed by a section on the process of lime burning which
emphasizes the differences in behaviour of the various classes of
limes. The results of research and tests to determine the most
reliable and lasting limewashes and lime-based cold water paints
are also detailed. In addition, the book provides useful
information on the common problems occurring with lime plasters and
how these can be solved. The classifications based and suggested
applications in the book offer guidelines for the conservation
practitioner.

This textbook is intended to give students a quick start in using
theory to address syntactic questions. At each stage, Cowper is
careful to introduce a theoretical apparatus that is no more
complex than is required to deal with the phenomenon under
consideration. Comprehensive and up-to-date, this accessible volume
will also provide an excellent refresher for linguists returning to
the study of Government-Binding theory.
"Cowper exhibits the analytical devices of current
principles-and-parameters approaches, takes readers carefully
through the central elements of grammatical theory (including very
recent work), and ushers them selectively into the technical
literature. . . . A serious introduction for those who want to know
the nuts and bolts of syntactic theory and to see why linguists are
so excited these days."2;David Lightfoot, University of Maryland
"An excellent short introduction to the Government and Binding
model of syntactic theory. . . . Cowper's work succeeds in teaching
syntactic argumentation and in showing the conceptual reasons
behind specific proposals in modern syntactic theory."2;Jaklin
Kornfilt, Syracuse University
