Product Description

Excerpt from The Fuels of the Household: Their Origin, Composition and Uses

In discussing these fuels and their uses on following pages, the mental scene of all the processes and utilities which are mentioned is the household. The households of our country are so distinctively American that the subject of this essay is naturally devoted to that type. The historical range of that type is short, because the political history in connection with which it was devel Oped is short compared with that of other countries. And yet, eventful as that short political history has been, the household affairs which have pertained to the use of fuels have been quite as eventful.
