Dr. Johnson, or some other old English author - no matter about the name - has said that it is more difficult to write a preface to a book than the book itself, or words to that effect. That may be true when the author has nothing to say, and in such case it would be better to have no pref ace at all. Respecting the present book, we have had two editions without a preface, and would have no preface in the third edition, but that this particular page, apart from the copyright, would otherwise be left blank. Nature, it is said, abhors a vacuum, and we equally abhor unoccupied Space in a book. A Single octavo page may yet prove sufficient to electrify or convulse the world. With pen in hand, therefore, we will merely say that we have added much new matter to the present edition, which we hope may be read and studied with benefit and if we are instrumental in per suading people that they can not enjoy good health without.

Theories of Ventilation have had their day. Ingenious, philosophical and promising contrivances without number have been tried and found wanting, until those most impressed with the importance of Ventilation, and consequently best acquainted with the inefficiency of all methods in common use, are ready to give it up in despair, and refuse to listen to new overtures on the subject. In view of this state of things, we should consider it trifling with the public, to propound any mere theory of How to do it. If any positive good is to be done by this book, it must be by plain, positive facts. We are under the necessity of showing that ventilation is actually accomplished, for every day in the year, in spite of wind and weather; of showing how, when and where this is done; and of substantiating our assertions by an army of witnesses that cannot be resisted. This looks more like blowing our own trumpet than we could wish, in a book like this; but if there is any other practical way to treat the question, we do not know what it is. We will throw out of the book our personal experiences and testimonials, whenever any body will show us any other way to prove that such a thing as ventilation is possible.
For, what is ventilation? We suppose nobody will dispute the definition, that ventilation, in a practical sense, means the complete removal of the vitiated air and exhalations from a room as fast as they are produced, and the introduction of an equal supply of pure air, at the same time. Neither can it be denied that if this is what ventilation means, it presupposes a scientific measurement of the amount of vitiated air and exhalations produced per minute, by that number of persons, gas-lights, etc., which the room is expected to contain. Finally, having ascertained how many cubic feet of foul air must be taken out per minute, and how many of pure air brought in, there must be apparatus capable of doing just that work, and doing it regularly, under all circumstances. Nothing is worthy, therefore, to be called Ventilation, that cannot show by measure the necessary number of cubic feet of air removed every minute, the year around.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book on ventilation describes a new way to keep the air in occupied spaces fresh, clean, and free of pollutants and disease. Ventilation was poorly understood during most of human history, especially during the 19th century when this was written. The author, an expert on the topic from this time period, claims that his groundbreaking atmospheric ventilator is capable of providing pure air to any enclosed space, promoting the health and well-being of its occupants. The author provides detailed accounts of the successful installation of his ventilation system in various public and private spaces, including some of New York's most esteemed hotels and restaurants. The benefits of the author's method of ventilation extend to the home, with the preservation of perishable goods like fruit, butter, and meat. The book includes endorsements from well-known businessmen and professionals of the era, testifying to the effectiveness of the author's ventilation method.
