ON THE VENTILATION of DWELLING-
HOUSES,‘..7 and the Utilisation of Waste Heat from
Open Fire-places. By FREDERICK EDWARDS, jun., Author
of "Our Domestic Fire-places," &c.
"Mr. Edwards has brought within the compass of a
moderate-sized volume a careful and very interesting ac-
count of the multifarious arrangements which have been
devised for ventilating public buildings and dwelling-
houses." "Mr. Edwards's suggestions on the utilisation
of heat from open fire-places, and his proposition for sup-
plying heat by warm-air channels to a number of houses,
appear to us exceedingly practicable and well worthy of
serious consideration."—Lancet.
