Excerpt from A Practical Treatise on Gas and Ventilation, With Special Relation to Illuminating, Heating, and Cooking by Gas: Including Scientific Helps to Engineer-Students and Others This "Treatise" on Gas and Ventilation is addressed to all interested in the use of gas as a domestic and commercial article for illumination, heating, cooking, and other purposes. The points dwelt upon have been divided; so that the consumers, while having the benefit of our experience and recommendation, may be made familiar with causes not generally understood, and remedies . within their own resources; to the former of which they have been improperly and unnecessarily subjected - of the latter kept ignorant, either by the fitter or gas companies, or both. It is necessary to say, although all which is hereinafter to be said must be new, or nearly so, to the generality of consumers, much of it must, and all ought to be familiar to the fitter by his everyday practice, and philosophically known by every gas engineer.
