J See chapter vi., Art. 382. 68 EAELY IMPROVEMENTS perhaps even in 1709), M. Granger published a most excellent treatise on the construction of fire- f)laces, which, in 1715, was translated and pub- ished in this country by Dr. Desaguliers.* This treatise, which is now scarce, contains a most lucid explanation of the methods of economizing fuel, based on the soundest principles of philo- sophy. It was the first attempt which had been made to apply the known laws of heat to the con- struction of... fireplaces ; and though, in consequence of wood being the fuel universally used in France at that period, and this fuel being always burned upon the hearth, the author made no mention of stoveSy but merely of fireplaces^ the translator. Dr. Desaguliers, added a chapter on the stoves to be used in these improved fireplaces ; and the work in that new form was a complete epitome of all those principles which Franklin, and, after him. Count Rumford, so successfiilly brought under the public notice, and which, if stricny carried out, would form, even at the present day, the best guide to the proper construction of stoves and fire- places.
