Excerpt from Stones: For Building and Decoration Since the appearance Of the first edition of this work there has been a very notable increase in the output of building stone from American quarries. How great this has been cannot be stated, unfortunately, since statistics are not available, but it is probable that the total annual output, as well as the amount Of capital invested, have both more than doubled. This is due not merely to the opening up Of new quarries, but also to an enlargement Of those already in existence and a very great increase in their equipments. Where but a few years ago hand labor or at best a few steam drills were chiefly relied upon, one now finds numerous and expensive machines in the form Of steam-drills and channellers, while at the yards are pneumatic tools, planers, . Lathes, polishers, saws, and grinding beds representing Often an outlay Of many thousands Of dollars. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Stones: It was not, however, until the early part of the present cen tury that granite began to be used at all extensively in and about Boston, when the material was introduced in considera ble quantities by canal from Chelmsford, 30 miles distant. It was from Chelmsford stone that was constructed in 1810 the Boston court-house in 1814 the New South church and about the same time the Congregational house on Beacon Street the old Parkman house on Bowdoin Square University hall in Cambridge and in 1818 the first stone block in the city, a portion of which is still standing, on Brattle Street. In this year also a considerable quantity of the stone was shipped to Savannah, Georgia, for the construction of a church at that place. The greater part of this granite was, however, obtained from bowlders, and it was not until the Opening of quarries at Quincy, in 1825, for the purpose of Obtaining stone for the con struction of the Bunker Hill monument that the business assumed any great importance.
