Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Health and Comfort in House Building, or Ventilation With Warm Air by Self-Acting Suction Power: With Review of the Mode of Calculating the Draught in Hot-Air Flues; And With Some Actual Experiments
From his daily occupation the physician has more opportunities, than almost any other member of the community, of studying the interior arrangements of a great variety of houses. And no one realises as he does the true nature of any defects of construction, warming, or ventilation which bear upon the health and comfort of the inhabitants. The writers have devoted much time and thought to the subject of house building; and, in the hope that the fruits of their reflections may afford some suggestions of practical value, they offer the following pages to the public.
