Definitions & History

 Artificial cement

Smeaton had noted that the "hydraulicity" of the lime was directly related to the clay content of the limestone from which it was made. 

Apparently unaware of Smeaton's work, the same principle was identified by Louis Vicat in the first decade of the nineteenth century. Vicat went on to devise a method of combining chalk and clay into an intimate mixture, and, burning this, produced an "Artificial Cement" in 1817.
