Excerpt from Health and Comfort in House Building: Or Ventilation With Warm Air by Self-Acting Suction Power In 1868, a paper was read on this subject by Dr. Hayward, before the Architectural Society of Liver pool: it was received with approbation, and subse quently published in their Proceedings.' Some extra copies of this paper were issued in the form of a pamphlet, which is now out of print. This having been favourably noticed by the press, especially the medical journals, and deputations from several public bodies, who have visited the house in question, having ex pressed a wish for further information respecting it, there is a demand for either a re-issue of the above pamphlet, or for a more complete explanatory treatise on the subject. This demand, we think, can be best met by publishing a joint essay on the general prin ciples and some of the practical details of the question; and by giving the plans of both houses, which, being very different in detail, will serve better to exemplify the principles which are followed equally in both. We also add, in an Appendix, a review of the methods of calculating the draught in hot-air ues, some simple formulae for this purpose, a ready-reckoner of velo cities, and a record of some original experiments per formed in House N o. 2. He was elected a vice-president of the Society. In 1873 he was invited to read a paper on the same subject before the Royal Institute of British Architects, in London, under the presidency of Sir G. Gilbert Scott. This, too, was received with approbation, and was published in the Trans actions of that body.
