PARISIAN BITI

JMEN PAVING COMI_UNY.
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 folly equal,
if net Aiike_rior, to atm of the lonisaltas now in use, while ite
oice, the carriage from London included, is considerably
less.
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 Such a material
was capable.

The Directors are well aware that the qualities of thei
Bitumen, to be appreciated, must be known, and feelin,
that the public will soon be freed from those prejudice
against its use which carelessness of application has alon,
generated, beg to say, that they have ready prepared a larg,
quantity of Bitumen of a proper consistency applicable to tho
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, M alt 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. the
square yard, 14 inch thick, inclusive of all expenses.
