Billings A.M., M.D. 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 formula? have been employed. It in¬ cludes all that is practically important of my book on the Principles of Ventilation and Heating, the last edition or which appeared in 1889; but it is substantially a new work, with numerous illustra¬ tions of recent practice.
