Excerpt from The Romance of the Gas Industry The author had no intention of interposing any introductory remarks to this story, but a reading of W. Cameron Forbes' Romance of Business prompted him to prepare a list of books and booklets which reveal the Romance of Common Things. To his surprise their number grew from an original seventy-five to nearly four hundred, without counting those hastily prepared publications which expect one page of historical introduction and a few pages of extravagant statements to carry a Message to Garcia and to start the dollars rolling into the treasury.

Not illustrated. 1922 edition. Excerpt: ...six hundred years Rome used no medicine but her baths. People of all times, of course, have made use of both cold and hot water--to some extent. They washed and bathed--occasionally--in ponds, rivers, lakes, or the ocean. In 1127 Henry I of England included bathing in the initiatory ceremony for knighting six favored commoners. He called them the Knights of the Bath, and thus originated the "Order of the Bath." Robert Hicks in 1825 took out a patent for: Heating water in baths by means of burning spirits of turpentine and carbureted hydrogen gas in chambers in the bath, or tubes passing through or under them. To Lord John Russell is attributed the inven Courtesy--Gas.Age Record. Before the days of gas-fired water heaters tion of a bath tub. In 1830 he was thought to have been the only Englishman addicted to taking a daily bath. Adam Thompson of Cincinnati, Ohio, visited Lord Russell about ten years later and had taken a hot bath in Russell's tub. Promptly after his return to America, Thompson had a cabinet maker build for him a similar bath. This was made seven feet long and four feet wide, of mahogany, lined with sheet lead. It weighed nearly a ton. On December 20, 1842, at about 8 A. M., Thompson took his first morning bath. He was so pleased with it that he later invited his friends to test the efficacy of his new bath. They also became very enthusiastic. But, the introduction of bath tubs and daily bathing was not so easily facilitated throughout the United States. Boston in 1845 made bathing unlawful unless taken upon the advice of a physician. In 1850, President Fillmore ordered a bath tub installed in the White House. In 1860 every first-class hotel in New York advertised bath tubs. The Turkish bath was introduced into...

Its development has been attended by all the excitement incident to mining camps and the usual camp followers. In every branch, production, transportation and manufacture, it has presented the great hazards that test brave hearts and mould strong characters. It has created a race of men capable of meeting any emergency and ready for any achievement. Inevitably the story of such an industry is romance. The term here does not denote fiction for the truth of petroleum and natural gas is more exciting than imaginary scenes. The aim in these pages has been to preserve the truth and tot tell the tale without the intrusion of the dry detail of a statistical or technical work. There has been no attempt to pain the lily or to gild refined gold. There is so much rich material in the origin and growth of the petroleum industry that it is wholly unnecessary to draw on the imagination for color. This is not a history, because it omits minutiae inseparable from a continuous record. It is just the romance of petroleum and natural gas, and some account of the human factors who have made the history of the business. It trails no other book, nor does it bar the way of any that may follow. It takes its own path into a fascinating field of romance in human endeavor, namely, the supplying of light to a waiting world: the preparation of the way for aerial navigation and the conquests of distance by private carriages. The ordinary walks of this mining with the drill lead into wonderland. In the ages there has been nothing like it. Aladdin's lamp was no more marvellous than the kerosene torch, nor did it bring to its owner more of wealth and luxury. Human progress and popular education have been thrust forward by the discovery of this resource of nature and the world owes a debt of gratitude to the men who have made its development possible. No other industry in the history of the world grew up so fast, and now... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Windham Press is committed to bringing the lost cultural heritage of ages past into the 21st century through high-quality reproductions of original, classic printed works at affordable prices. This book has been carefully crafted to utilize the original images of antique books rather than error-prone OCR text. This also preserves the work of the original typesetters of these classics, unknown craftsmen who laid out the text, often by hand, of each and every page you will read. Their subtle art involving judgment and interaction with the text is in many ways superior and more human than the mechanical methods utilized today, and gave each book a unique, hand-crafted feel in its text that connected the reader organically to the art of bindery and book-making. We think these benefits are worth the occasional imperfection resulting from the age of these books at the time of scanning, and their vintage feel provides a connection to the past that goes beyond the mere words of the text.

Excerpt from A Manual of Gas Distribution I am a citizen of no mean city. In itself, service in a public utility corporation has many inspiring phases. In the gas industry, the employee at the works may take pleasure in the thought of how excellent a product is resulting from his labor, but the distribution man is privileged to come in contact with the public he serves, and'by his attitude, largely to make or mar his company's fortunes. If this book aids a little in making our service even better than it now is, the labor of love in its preparation will have its full reward.

Excerpt from The Spotter: A Romance of the Oil Region "I don't see why you should have objections to leasing your farm, Mr. Cameron," said Mrs. Fisher, somewhat awkwardly raising her gold-rimmed eye glasses to the ridge of a red and pudgy nose, and gazing curiously at the man to whom she had spoken. "Perhaps not, ma'am," replied Cameron. "I have heard that some people are able to see in a painting only flat streaks of color." "I didn't say anything about paintings, did I?" asked the woman, innocent of the sarcasm. "I was talking about your farm, which you ought to sell, or lease, now that you have the chance, and give your wife and daughter the opportunity to take their places in a circle where they would shine. It's your duty, Mr. Cameron, and you know it." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Romance of an Emergency For the general reader to follow this story fully it may be well to call attention to a fact but little understood by the world at large, namely, that the Society which moves in our midst (numerically at almost a standstill as shown by the last religious census, but never more forcible than to-day in its known adherence to first principles the Society of Friends, so often spoken of as the Quakers, claims to do its part to purify commercial life by devoting a certain proportion of its members to all legitimate trades. Comparatively recently the Society announced amongst themselves that certain branches of business needed very special support, and an appeal was made to young men, some with university training, choosing their life-work to devote their powers and energies in the direction specified, and with marvellous results. England owes far more than is usually known to the Quaker Firms whose care - physical, moral and spiritual - of their employés forms a splendid example in our midst, an example which, if followed generally, would go far to settle the nation's problems so associated with' overcrowding and underpaying.
