Excerpt from The Natural History of Clay Oth as raw materials and in the form of pottery, bricks, tiles, terra-cotta and many other articles of use and ornament, clays are amongst the most important rock products. Yet the origin of the substances we know as clay, ' the processes occurring in its formation and the causes of some of the most important of its characteristics are of such a nature that it is remarkable that its use should have become so extended in the arts and sciences, while we know so little of its properties when in a pure state.

Excerpt from Observations Upon the Natural History of Epidemic Diarrhoea The causative agencies from which springs the plentiful harvest of child mortality in large cities may be conceived as a felted mass of rootlets almost inextricably intertwined. Those of poverty, bad housing, bad feeding, and neglect, may be severally recognized, but the extent of their interrelations with actual respiratory and alimentary disease - those to which the greater part of the mortality is referred - can be traced only with difficulty. It is the object Of this work to aid ln the labour of cutting away the matrix and entangling fibres and to lay bare the hidden ramifications of at least one important causative agency - epidemic diarrhoea. This affection - if we accept provisionally the more novel and generally favoured conception. As to its nature - is revealed as something very like an ordinary infectious disease, and one which permeates all classes, while the excessive mortality it gathers round itself in urban centres must be regarded as something superadded, owing to the vicious circle it forms with those baneful conditions of slum life mentioned above. On the other hand, its peculiarly intimate association with the circum stances of domestic life, from the continual faecal pollution of the interior of the household by infants and others, tends to make it more so than other affections of the kind peculiarly a class disease, and an especial scourge of dirty neighbourhoods. Dirty towns may however be saved from excessive mortality by a high percentage of breast feeding. A notable point in the interesting comparison that can be drawn between diarrhoea and typhoid fever is that, in accordance with their peculiarly opposite age-incidence curves, the marked and habitual depositing of infectious excreta within the household in the former disease may make the question of water-closet versus conservancy pan a matter of far less importance than in the latter.

Excerpt from Life of Henry Clay Clay's character and reputation present an inter esting study. From the beginning nothing seems to occur as, by logic, it ought to occur. A man of fiery, impetuous, emotional temperament would be expected to prove a strenuous partisan; but so far was Clay from being a partisan that, although he ranks as a Whig, it is not easy to attribute to him any clear and stable convictions upon any great.

Excerpt from Clays and Clay Products This volume, like the others in this series, does not aim at exhausting the subject with which it deals. On the contrary, its chief aim is to give the commercial man sufficient insight into the nature of the various materials and products described for him to realise, in broad outline, the processes involved in their treatment and the extent to which they may be used for the purposes of his own business. Few people, except those who are actually engaged in the manufacture of clay products, have any idea of the wide ramifications of the industries connected therewith, yet, if clay products were suddenly removed and became irreplaceable, the loss among both primitive and civilised peoples would be incredibly great. Vast and important as is the Iron and Steel industry, it is in many ways only secondary to the trades connected with clays and clay-products;indeed, without the latter, the very production of iron would become practically impossible, architecture would, in many districts, be stifled, and the most evident signs of civilisation would be absent. To know something of the industries connected with so important a subject should form part of the education of every commercial and business man, and it is for such that this volume has primarily been written.

Excerpt from History of the Clay-Working Industry in the United States The materials for this work were collected for the Department of Economics and Sociology of the Carnegie Institution of Washington for use in a projected series of "Contributions to the Economic History of the United States." This advance publication is by the permission of the late Carroll D. Wright (who was the Director of the Department) with the understanding that any of the data herein contained may be used in that series. Mr. Edward W.Parker, of the United States Geological Survey, a collaborator of Dr. Wright, has had the more immediate supervision of the present work and has approved the manuscript for this volume. In the preparation of this work the authors have consulted all available magazines, private publications and government and state reports. Those which have served as sources of information are listed at the end of the work, but they do not represent more than one quarter of all the works consulted. When reference is made to these in the text, a number is given in parenthesis, corresponding to that of the reference in the list, and this number is followed by the volume or page number, the former being given in Roman numerals and the latter in Arabic figures. The data obtained from these publications have been supplemented by inquiries addressed to the different State geologists, and a very large number of producers, as well as private individuals who it was thought might be able to supply any of the desired facts. The replies to many of these communications developed such a startling lack of knowledge of the subject in nearly all quarters that the authors venture to hope that the gathering together of what scattered information there is may prove of value.
