Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Mr. Somes's Inventions for the Preservation of Food, Animal or Vegetable: For the Cooling of Hotels, Theatres, Halls, Churches, and All Other Buildings, Ventilation, &C., &C

Wine-vaults are far more expensive than these buildings, and the air less pure and whole some.
