Abstract
THIS little work is of a very practical nature; and although it appeals more particularly to the engineer and architect it may be read with advantage by the general reader, for it sets out, in a manner which is clear and easily intelligible to all, the advantages which accrue from the systems of heating dwellings by the various warming apparatus which are installed, not in the living rooms, but on the ground floor or in the basement. The advantages in the use of steam, hot-water, or hot-air apparatus, instead of fireplaces or stoves, are certainly real ones; for the house is more uniformly and better heated, at less expense, trouble, and risk, and the apartments are not encumbered with the large stoves so generally seen on the Continent.
