1t long been felt by the ublic and is admitted
by our best architects and builders that one OF the
pressing wants OF our time good substitute for
stone IN building worthy of confidence During the
past twenty years the United ntates, England and
France have issued DuEdreds OF patents for socaed
| Artificial stone. These patents have covered the
| whole range of mechanical cements such as Glue
| Gum Shellac, Rosin. AsphaItum, Tar, Rubber Hy.
draulic Cement, Lime etc very few of the entire
| number possess any practical merit for we car no:
expect substances that are never founc in natural
stone to make stone; and these only claim The man.

Letter from Dr. jackson
BOSTON, Mass, January Is, 1870.
Gentlemen-I have tested a sample of your Arti- |
icaI Stone made OF your cement and quartz sand, |
md find that the frost test Saturated solution of
ulphate OF Soda has not the power of disintegra-
ing it in the least The trial was made by daily i'm. !
versions of the Stone in the SuIphate of soda So
u ion for week. and allowing the solution to pene.
rate the some as much as possible, and then to |
rystalizs. From this test it is evident that your
tone Will Withstand the action of frost more per. |
ectly than any sandstone Q ordir airy building |
tones new in use. l see no reason why it will not
tand well as granite.
Yours, respectfully
