I FIND, by my own Experience, that the smallest Size of these Stoves,
will warm a Room of Twelve or Fourteen Foot Square, or the largest
Dressing Closet. The Middle-sized Grate will warm a Room of 20 Feet +
26, and 12 or 14 Feet high. The largest Size will warm a Room of 50
Feet by 25, and about 20 or 22 Feet high.

AS I have not advanced any thing, but what I have proved from my own
Experience, I shall omit what might be said from the Testimony of
others, to Time, and the real Merit of the Machine; which, in all
Respects, will answer for itself. For the Beginning of this Attempt was
founded upon Theory and Mechanick Principles, supported by Observation
and Experience of what had happened before.

BUT had not the same Observation and Experience, likewise confirmed
the Use of this, and all the Advantages mentioned, I should not have
offered it to the Publick.
