10. LIME, CEMENT & PLASTER

• Bry. [Brindley] Higgins. Calcareous Cements. London 1780.
  The pioneering work in this field, still couched in terms like 'phlogisticated air', and preceding the introduction of either Roman or Portland cement. Higgins was an Irishman with a medical degree from Leyden, who established himself in Greek Street, Soho, as a lecturer in chemistry. In 1778 he produced a new cement suitable for exterior use, and in 1778-9 supplied it to the brothers James and Samuel Wyatt for use on buildings in the London area.
  In various sources, such as Weinreb catalogue new series 6, item 332, the Christian name is given as Bryan. However Burnell, Limes and Cements[infra], pp 101-7, reproduces his patent, clearly in the name of Brindley Higgins.

• L J Vicat [trans J T Smith]. Calcareous Mortars and Cements. London 1837.
  Vicat was the first to produce a successful artificial cement, and it was patented in Britain by James Frost in 1811. Vicat published his Recherches Expérimentales in 1818, and then in 1828 the work of which this is a translation, Résumé des Connaissance Positives Actuelles sur les Qualités, &c. The translation is only the second work on mortar and cement in English, after Higgins.

• C W Pasley. Observations on Limes, Calcareous Cements, &c. London 1838.
  Colonel (later General Sir Charles) Pasley's experiments, principally at the Chatham Dockyard, resulted in his developing an 'artificial water cement' or Portland cement, though the credit for the discovery is now generally given to James Aspdin. Pasley's son captain Charles Pasley was Victoria's Colonial Engineer, Commissioner for Public Works &c, in the 1850s, and Pasley Street, South Yarra, is named after him.

• L W Leeds. A Treatise on Ventilation. 2nd ed, New York 1871 [1868].
  Seven lectures deliveredby Lewis Leeds to the Franklin Institute, Philadelphia 1866-8. Leeds used a glass box as a model of a room, and by means of water of different colours demonstrated the movement of air: the book contains a number of coloured lithographic illustrations of this. Leeds tended in general to support the theory first advanced in 1862 by Henry Ruttan of Canada, that vitiated air should be removed from the bottom of the room rather than the top (though he did not mention Ruttan by name). For a discussion of Leeds see Eugene S Ferguson, 'An Historical Sketch of Central Heating: 1800-1860', Chapter 10 of Charles E Peterson [ed], Building Early America (Radnor [Pennsylvania] 1976), especially pp 173-174.

  Isaac Smead claimed to be the largest manufacturer in the world of boilers and other apparatus, and the book is largely designed to promote these products. His discussion is not so wide-ranging as Leeds's, but he uses the same technique of representing hot and cold air in different colours (though not purporting to base these illustrations on experiment). He acknowledges Ruttan as the ultimate source of his principles.

An account of the trip appeared in the Building News of 2, 9 and 16 September 1892, and was reprinted by Robert Boyle & Co as A Sanitary Crusade through the East and Australasia(London 1892) [ref Bibliophile catalogue 13, item 97].

  Bookplate of the library of Petworth, Sussex (estate of the 1st Earl of Egremont from the mid-eighteenth century, inherited by the first Baron Leconfield upon the death of the fourth Earl of Egremont and the extinction of the title). This is significant because, as Tracy Avery advises me, Henry, second Lord Leconfield, his younger brother Percy, and both of their wives, were prominent patrons of the Arts and Crafts movement. From 1869 Salvin oversaw substantial changes at Petworth and work was commissioned from Morris & Co. Percy and Madeleine Wyndham went on to commission the famous Arts and Crafts house 'Clouds' from Philip Webb .
