ON THE HISTORY AND ART OF WARMING AND VENTILATING Rooms and Buildings by Open Fires, Hypocausts, German, Dutch, Russia, and Swedish Stoves, Steam, Hot Water, Heated Air, Heat of Animals, and other methods; with Notices of the progress of Personal and Fireside Comfort, and of the management of Fuel.  By WALTER BERNAN, Civil Engineer.

“Since Stuart’s ‘Anecdotes of the Steam Engine,’ there has been no such bit of delicious mechanical gossip as this little book of Mr. Bernan....  For six months or more every year, we must depend much more on the resources of science and the practical arts for our health and comfort, than on the natural climate:  in short, we must create our own climate.  To help us to the means of doing this appears to be one of the objects of these little volumes, in which, as we have shown, are collected a multitude of expedients of all times and nations, collected with research, selected with judgment, and skilfully arranged and described.  The interest with which one reads is sustained and continuous, and you devour a two-volume inventory of stoves, grates, and ovens, with the voracity of a parish school-boy, and then—­ask for more.”—­The Athenaeum.
