To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There must be one drain from the lowest part of the cellar, but this need only just come through the wall. Besides these drains from the inside of the house, those from the spouts (e), Fig. 3, which carry off the roof-water, often form part of the same system. They are some- times kept distinct, and communicate with the sewer by separate pipes, but more commonly they are connected either with the drain from the cellar or the soil pipe. Some people have recently made a point of doing this with a... view to ventilate the drains and form a way of escape for gas that would otherwise force its way into the house. This, however, is a mistaken idea. The plan need not be mischievous, it is often the reverse, but it is done under a similar misapprehension to that which leads people to have openings in their ceilings to take out the hot air from rooms, the fact being that, when there is a fire in the room, the draft up the chimney is so great that it draws air into the room at every crevice, and con- sequently the opening in the ceiling which was intended to take air out lets air in, and thus acts in a manner the reverse of what was intended.
