PARISIAN BITUMEN PAVING COMPANY.
THE opinion of several eminent Engineers having been
taken as to the merits of the Bitumen of this Company,
the Directors feel justified in stating that it is capable of
resisting the effects of heat, wet, and frost, and is fully equal,
if not superior, to any of the Asphaltes now in use, while its
price, the carriage from London included, is considerably

The Directors, before mentioning the various uses to which
Bitumen is applicable, have great pleasure in calling the
attention of parties interested in the subject, to a most mas-
terly exposition of the qualities of this celebrated Mastic,
delivered at the Architectural Society, Lincoln's Inn Fields,
by Mr. Tite, who brought to the task not only a compre-
hensive knowledge of what had been done, but a mind deeply
imbued with the conviction that much yet remained to do
towards developing all the resources of which sucli a material
was capable. . .

The Directors are well aware that the qualities of their
Bitumen, to be appreciated, must be known, and feelirq
that the public will soon be freed from those prejudice:
against its use which carelessness of application has atom
generated, beg to say, that they have ready prepared a large
quantity of Bitumen of a proper consistency applicable to th
following purposes, viz. :
To the Covering of Viaducts, or Arches of Railways, Bridges
Catacombs, Wine Vaults, Cellars, &c.
To the Paving of Pathways, Court Yards, Garden Walks
Stables, Coach•houses, Barns, Tun Rooms, Malt Houses
• Granaries, Warehouses, Wharfs, Esplanades, Cause

ways, &c.
To be delivered in Liverpool or Manchester, the first at £3
the second at £2 10s. per Ton.

verpool, Manchester, or the Neighbourhood, at ss. 6d. thi
