The standard work on its various forms and uses, including building in chalk, was originally published in 1919 in circumstances identical to those of today. This new edition has been revised and enlarged and brought up to date to include such new developments as cement and stabilised Earth, and it reviews the satisfactory performance of buildings constructed 25 years ago" -- front fold over. .
