I have dwelt so long on the eur ly history of architecture largely for one purpose, namely to indicate however inadequately the profound influence of mortar on the world's architecture. If the Greeks had had a cement as good as modern. Portland would they have built as they did How far did the discovery of hydraulic mortar by the Romans affect the world's later architecture? These and many other questions, equally interesting, crop up in connection with this question of mortar.

We shall now pass on the study of the important building cement. These, with one or two very mo dern exceptions, are exclusively "lime" cements.

The Romans, either by accident or possibly as the result of care. ful experiment, made the very im portant discovery that (unheated)
