With the continually increasing scope of uses to which cement mortars and concretes are put, occasions frequently arise in which it is desired to make the construction waterproof so that it may resist either water under head or dampness and hence be entirely dry on the unexposed surface. To meet this condition several methods of waterproofing have been devised, which may be roughly divided into three classes: (1) methods involving the use of bitumenous compounds with or without the addition of paper or felt, th...

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Richard Kidder Meade was born on July 14, 1746 in Nansemond County, Virginia. He was the son of David Meade and his wife Susannah, daughter of Gov. Richard Everard of North Carolina.
Meade was educated in England at Harrow, and later in a small private school. One of his masters declared that while he would never make a learned scholar, he would make what was far better, vir probus.
Meade's subsequent career justified the prediction. He threw himself zealously into the struggle between England and the colonies, and on May 8, 1775 was chosen member of a "committee of intelligence" in Prince George, the function of which was "to convey any alarm as speedily as possible to the adjacent counties. " On June 24, 1775, he helped to remove certain arms from Governor Dunmore's palace at Williamsburg. In the battle of Great Bridge, December 9, 1775, he served as captain of a company under Colonel Woodford. Writing shortly afterward to his friend Theodorick Bland, he vowed that he would see the controversy with England through to the end or die in the attempt. He at once sold his estate at Coggins' Point, Prince George and tendered his services to the patriot cause. On January 12, 1777 he was appointed aide-de-camp to Washington, with the rank of lieutenant-colonel. Highly esteemed by the General, he thenceforth accompanied him on all his campaigns. Being an excellent horseman and possessed of a rugged physique, he was especially useful in carrying orders and reconnoitering; his fine black mare was a sight familiar to both British and American armies. At Monmouth he narrowly escaped capture. He assisted in making the arrangements for the execution of Major André, although confessing that he could not contemplate the event "without a tear". At the close of the war, Washington counseled him: "Friend Dick, you must go to a plantation in Virginia; you will make a good farmer and an honest foreman of the grand jury of the county where you live". With part of the proceeds from the sale of his former estate, he acquired a thousand acres of land in Frederick County, then a wild, backwoods region. The enterprise proved so successful that the estate became known as "Lucky Hit. " As often as his health would permit, he served as foreman of the grand jury. In 1798 Washington, whom he sometimes visited at Mount Vernon, consulted him regarding the choice of officers for the army it was proposed to raise in view of possible war with France. He died "at the seat of Matthew Page, Esq. , in Frederick County, " of gout aggravated by the hardships of military life.

Meade was twice married. In 1765 Meade espoused Jane Randolph of "Curles, " aunt of John Randolph of Roanoke. In 1780, after her death, he married Mary Fitzhugh (Grymes), widow of William Randolph of "Chatsworth. " In a time of great need she had contributed handsomely to the patriot cause. Of his eight children, four were sons and four, daughters. One of the sons, William, became eminent as the third Protestant Episcopal bishop of Virginia.
