_Sixthly_, IT will be obvious to every Person, who examines the
Construction of this Machine, that the Chimney will not require
sweeping in less than two or three Years; and that it is morally
impossible the Chimney can ever take Fire.
_Seventhly_, IT has been already observed, that no part of the current
of Air, that passes continually through the Fire, is supplied from
the Doors, Windows, or Crevices of the Room: For the same Reason, the
Candles, in all sorts of Weather, will burn clear; the Light will be
pleasant, equal, and steady; and there will be a considerable Saving in
that Article.
_Eighthly_, WHEN the Room is thoroughly warmed in the Day-time, it
will cool but a few Degrees during the Night; and by shutting up the
Fire-Place over Night, and excluding the external Air, the Fire will be
found in the Morning without any sensible Diminution, ready to blaze
out, by the Addition of a Stick of Wood, or a few Coals; which every
body knows is an Advantage, that never could be obtained in common
Chimnies, with a Coal Fire, without a great Expence, and much Danger.
THESE, and many other Advantages, that would be tedious to enumerate at
present, will be found to result from this useful Invention. Several of
the Stove-Grates are already set up; and Orders given for the erecting
others in many Houses in _London_ and the Country.
SOME are of Cast Iron, in its plain, natural Colour; and others have a
Case, richly ornamented, that is put on, and taken off, at Pleasure.
The Inventor hopes he shall be permitted to publish the Names and
Places of Abode, of those Noblemen and Gentlemen, who have encouraged
this undertaking.
BY this Method it will be in the Power of those who incline to become
Purchasers, to inform themselves of the Truth of every Particular, by
Persons of undoubted Credit and Veracity; and to know, with Certainty,
what they are to expect, without laying out their Money, upon what they
might suppose, an unexperimented Project; the Success whereof might
otherwise be uncertain.
THERE are Three Sizes of these Stove-Grates, adapted to the Dimensions
of the Rooms where they are set up. They are all made of Cast Iron,
which will endure longer, and come much cheaper, than if they were made
of wrought Iron.
