Excerpt from On the History and Art of Warming and Ventilating Rooms and Buildings, Vol. 1 "Every man's proper mansion-house and home, " says Sir Henry Wotton, "is the theater of his hospitality, the seat of self-fruition, the comfortablest part of his own life, the noblest of his son's inheritance, a kind of private princedome, nay, to the possessors thereof, an epitomie of the whole world." The contrivances to improve the focus or hearth whence warmth and comfort are diffused throughout this interesting dominion, form the main subjects of the following pages. The inventions, of which the scattered notices are here collected, have in most cases been arranged in the order in which they appeared. A short popular account has been given of each, but it will be sufficient, perhaps, to give a practical person all the working hints he would require to enable him to construct a similar apparatus, or to improve it.
