Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Words in Earnest, or the Path of Wisdom Made Plain
The clearness of the atmosphere is dimmed, and the light of the sun and stars obscured by perpetually sending volumes of smoke, clouds of dust, and more subtle exhalations from the decay, the friction, the jost ling contact, of myriads of animate or inanimate objects. The air is warmed into an unnatural temperature by the emanations of animal life and heat; and polluted by ex halations from musty and drugged storehouses, habitations, streets, and sewers.
