Excerpt from Report on the Compressive Strength, Specific Gravity, and Ratio of Absorption of the Building Stones in the United States

General: I have the honor to state that my tests to determine the compressive strength, specific gravity, and ratio of absorption of the building-stones in the United States in most general use have been considerably extended since my report of July 30, 1874. The methods pursued and the results obtained, inclusive of those first reported, are embodied, and to some extent discussed, in the paper herewith submitted.

My assistant, Mr. Louis Nickerson, had immediate charge of all the experiments and tests made during the past year, and I am indebted to him for valuable suggestions and zealous co-operation during the progress of the work.
