Misgovernment, injures the perfect life, or health, producmg all the disturbed states called diseases, except such as arise from poisons and violence; 3dly, that in modified management of them are found the most important remedies in all cases of disease; -4thly, that they, in conjunction with poisons and violence, constitute the primary sources Of human pleasures and pains, and are, directly or indirectly, the general motives of human actions or conduct.

Excerpt from On Warming and Ventilating: With Directions for Making and Using the Thermometer-Stove, or Self-Regulating Fire, and Other New Apparatus

The following Treatise contains the substance of a Lecture delivered before a scientific audience at the Royal Institution on the 11th March 1836, and which is now, by the addition of elementary illustration, fitted for popular use.

My reasons for not publishing it sooner were - first, that, in a matter of such importance to this and other countries, as the obtainment of necessary warmth, from failure with respect to which, and to ventilation, much of the suffering and many of the diseases which afflict the inhabitants arise, I might, in recommending changes, have to report the result, not of one or two experiments only, but of many, carried on under great variety of circumstances, and in all the seasons of the year. Secondly, that I might, by wider observation and discussion, be better prepared to make evident to popular apprehension certain misconceptions or prejudices which have hitherto prevented the introduction of better methods, and to explain to makers of the new apparatus what would be required of them.
