Essays, political, economical, and philosophical
Collected essays by Benjamin Thompson, Count Rumford, published in London in 1796 for reformers and gentlemen readers, covering poor relief, food, fuel economy, heat, and the design of fireplaces and kitchen stoves. Copperplate engravings give sectional and elevation views of furnaces, ovens, flues and iron doors, hatched in fine line, with figure numbers and lettered keys usable as diagrammatic ornament.
