Second Edition, entirely rewritten and greatly enlarged, extensively illustrated with photographs and line drawings, xi, 815pp., thick quarto, an excellent copy in original cloth, London, Benn Brothers, 1921. * By this date, coal-gas production - and a supreme confidence in it as an energy-source both for heating and lighting - were at their greatest height. This very comprehensive book is packed with information as to processes and details of the flourishing and ever-evolving industrial machinery that enabled gas production on a huge scale. "The gas industry in this country, in spite of its magnitude, is particularly ill-furnished with anything in the nature of a general work of reference dealing with really modern practice [and] principles and ideas which are in a perpetual state of development." - preface. The link between coal as the source of gas is highlighted in the following chapters which dominate the book: "Gas-Making and other Coals; The High Temperature Carbonization of Coal; The Condensation of Coal Gas; Naphthalene in Coal Gas; The Preliminary Purification of Coal Gas; The Dry Purification of Coal Gas; The Complete Gasification of Coal." "Coal, the natural gift to which our country may be said to owe its commercial pre-eminence, [It] has been described as a store of primaeval solar energy, slowly accumulated during untold millenniums, which mankind nowadays draws upon as a source of practically the whole of his available light, heat, and power in artificial form." p.355. A short history of coal-gas is included in the introduction, (but with no mention of its pollutants); "As compared with the practice of the latter half of the nineteenth century, the gas engineering of the present day is chiefly remarkable for the extent to which scientific and economic methods, based on avoidance of waste with maximum efficiency of recovery, have slowly but surely asserted themselves. Some idea of the magnitude of the gas industry in this country may be gathered from the fact that at the present time there exist in the United Kingdom upwards of 1,600 separate concerns promoted for the manufacture and distribution of towns' gas, with a capacity ranging from a quarter of a million to 32,000,000,000 cubic feet per annum The total annual production of gas in the United Kingdom is 250,000,000,000 cubic feet, which is distributed to some 7,000,000 individual consumers through 40,000 miles of street mains." p.3-4 The contrary modern view of coal as the primary pollutant is succinctly put by Wikipedia: "The use of coal damages the environment and it is the largest anthropogenic source of carbon dioxide contributing to climate change. Fourteen billion tonnes of carbon dioxide were emitted by burning coal in 2020, which is 40% of the total fossil fuel emissions and over 25% of total global greenhouse gas emissions.".
