Abstract
DR. FISHENDEN has provided one of the most interesting books that has ever been written on a most important branch of domestic science. Her work has been known for a considerable time to all those who are specially interested in the performances of domestic heating appliances, through valuable reports which have been issued from time to time by the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research. The contents of these reports have now been collected and expanded so as to give greater continuity and comprehensiveness of treatment, with the addition of critical historical matter, and a wide public owes a debt of gratitude to Dr. Fishenden for having undertaken the task, and having carried it through so well.
House Heating: a General Discussion of the Relative Merits of Coal, Coke, Gas, Electricity, etc., as alternative means of providing for Domestic Heating, Cooking and Hot Water Requirements, with Special Reference to Economy and Efficiency.
By Dr. Margaret Fishenden. Pp. 296. (London: H. F. and G. Witherby, 1925.) 25s. net.
