Book excerpt: Excerpt from Gaseous Fuel, Including Water Gas: Its Production and Application, a Lecture Although the mighty prime mover, steam, in its wonderful applications, has been of incalculable value in adding to the well-being and happiness of man, the black pall of smoke that usually accompanies our industrial occupations has desecrated and destroyed, in too many instances, the beautiful work of God, who never intended that grimy walls, streets, and lanes, and a smoke-infested sky, should be the accompaniment of our lives. But He has given us - if we only cherished and preserved the gift - the flowers, the blue sky of heaven, the eye-refreshing green of the fields, and the life-endowing and recuperative beams of the solar light. What though our art culture and refined civilization prompts and executes dreams of loveliness in stone, if the sombre, depressing, and pall-like hue of smoke hides the lines of beauty in pilaster and fluted column. What are our hives of industry but blots of unloveliness on England's fair landscape? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
