An officer in the Royal Engineers, Sir Charles William Pasley (1780
1861) wrote on matters ranging from military sieges to
architecture. In this substantial work, first published in 1838, he
outlines the experimentally determined properties of various
building materials, with a view to their practical application.
Offering guidance on how to decide between different calcareous
mortars and cements, Pasley discusses how to judge their
comparative strengths. Heeding advice from the Institution of Civil
Engineers, he made this work a broad overview, rather than simply
focusing on his special area of interest: natural and artificial
cements. His research on cements led to the large-scale manufacture
of products such as Portland, patent lithic, and blue lias. Pasley
discusses the research of other authors in the appendix. Also
reissued in this series, in English translation, is Louis-Joseph
Vicat's Practical and Scientific Treatise on Calcareous Mortars and
Cements, Artificial and Natural (1837)."
