Book excerpt: Excerpt from Radford's Brick Houses and How to Build Them: A Standard Collection of New, Original, and Artistic Designs for Brick Houses, Apartments, Stores and Flats, Garages, Etc;; Together With Complete Instruction in the Manufacture of Brick and Its Practical Uses as a Building Material Of these, during the last ten years, brick has appealed to him with daily increasing force. Born of the fire, brick successfully resists attack from ex ternal and internal fire where other building materials would crack, spall, dis integrate, or fuse.' Every brick reflects in a distinctive way the human life which caused it to be. From its digging as clay at the point of the shovel, to its emplacement in the wall at the point of the trowel, in all steps of its manufacture, brick unites man's greatest knowledge and skill in mechanics, physics, and chemistry.
