Excerpt from Ventilation and Heating In preparing this volume my object has been to produce a book which will not only be useful to students of Architecture and Engineering, and be convenient for reference by those engaged in the practice of these professions, but which can also be understood by non-professional men who may be interested in the important subjects of which it treats, and hence technical expressions have been avoided as much as possible, and only the simplest formulæ have been employed. It includes all that is practically important of my book on the Principles of Ventilation and Heating, the last edition of which appeared in 1889, but it is substantially a new work, with numerous illustrations of recent practice. For many of these I am indebted to The Engineering Record, in which the descriptions first appeared. I am also indebted to Dr. A. C. Abbott for much valuable assistance in its preparation, and to the architects and heating engineers who have furnished me with plans and information, and whose names are mentioned in connection with the descriptions of the several buildings, etc., referred to in the text.
