Interesting work on an energy-saving stove by F.C. Müller, a pastor in Schwelm, Westphalia. In 1799 he published a short article about an energy-saving stove in use in the county of Mark, and of which the present book is an extended version. The stove had a special iron box for fuel which prevented loss of heat. The coal mines of Westphalia stimulated the use of coal and in the present work Müller also discusses ways of baking bread, brewing beer and distilling gin by using coal instead of wood. The different stoves are depicted on seven copper engravings at the end of the book.
Müller has several publications in the field of astronomy and trigonometry on his name.

Very fine copy of a work on the use of a special energy-saving stove.
