DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from A Treatise on Ceramic Industries: A Complete Manual for Pottery, Tile, and Brick Manufacturers The lack of technical treatises devoted to Ceramics in the English language has long been a serious drawback to the progress alike of the student and the manufacturer, and in view of this fact, and also that during the last few years an increasing interest has been manifested in systematic ceramics, it has been felt that the reissue of such a work as this might prove opportune. M. Bourry's work has long been recognized as a standard work by the practical potter, who finds that the exhaustive researches of Seger demand more time for study than he can devote to such matters, whilst other works lack the good classification and concise method of statement which is one of the happiest features of M. Bourry's able book. Unlike many other works, it also treats, with equal fullness, of the manipulation of every class of ceramics from the common brick to the finest porcelain, and thus enables the reader to compare the effect of the general principles governing the results of most diverse manufactures. As the book is intended as a manual for practical men rather than a hand-book for the scientist, no attempt has been made in translating to revise the chemical nomenclature except where the subject seemed to be of special interest, and in most cases the popular names of chemicals have been retained. Obsolete theories have in some instances been omitted, and the general descriptions have been shortened as much as was thought to be possible without sacrificing clearness of expression or omitting important facts. At the same time, no attempt has been made to materially alter M. Bourry's original work. For this reason many of the statements made must be accepted on their own merits and not as necessarily representing the reviser's opinions. For the same reason, many illustrations in the original have been retained, though they represent French and not English machinery. In a few cases, illustrations of modern English machinery have been substituted. In a number of instances, special notes have been added where they appeared to be desirable.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from Treatise on Ceramic Industries: A Complete Manual for Pottery, Tile and Brick Works N o apology is needed in the present instance for the publication of this work. The lack of technical treatises in the English language devoted to Ceramic Industry has long been a serious drawback to the progress alike of the student and the manufacturer. Since the days of Simeon Shaw there has been no serious attempt by any English writer to grapple with the complex problems of ceramics, or to produce any comprehensive description of the processes of clay manipulation. In view of this fact, and also that during the last few years an increasing interest has been manifested in systematic ceramics, it has been felt that the issue of such a work might prove opportune.
