Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Minutes of Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers, Vol. 24: With Abstracts of the Discussions; Session 1864-65
The cause of the decay of materials in tropical climates, and the means successfully employed to prevent such decay, must become an increasing matter of interest to the Engineer, as well as to the English capitalist, not only from the rapid increase of public works in India, but also from the connection of Great Britain with the extensive and rising empire of Brazil, with reference to which this Paper is especially written.
