Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Dwelling House This work is intended not merely to point out certain common defects in the Dwelling House, and to show how evils more or less necessary in towns may be avoided in the country, but to call attention to the fact that our modern methods of sanitation, and the heavy taxation of the dwelling, inevitably increase overcrowding, and the moral and physical ills which follow in its train. An attempt is made to review the great subject of the disposal of house refuse in its political and scientific aspects, rather than from the point of view of the tradesman or patentee. The greater part of the ensuing chapters has been previously published. Addresses delivered before the Royal Institution of Great Britain, the London Institution, the Sanitary Institute, and the Medico-Chirurgical Society of Nottingham, together with short papers communicated to the British Medical Association, the British Institute of Public Health, and the 'Practitioner, ' have been incorporated with the text.

Download or read book The Dwelling Houses of Charleston South Carolina Classic Reprint written by Alice R. Huger Smith and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-27 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Dwelling Houses of Charleston, South Carolina In this volume the authors have endeavored to tell the story of the older dwelling houses of Charleston and the families inhabiting them. It has not been their object to list or to describe these dwelling houses after the manner of a guide-book, but to show how the fashions of its architecture, though imported and constantly modified by new ideas brought chiefly from England, have yet maintained local characteristics, resulting in quite a distinctive style which has steadily persisted and been developed. This development lies spread before us in the Charleston streets, where the houses of successive periods stand side by side, so little altered that the stranger is rather struck by the atmosphere and interest of the place as a whole than by the beauty or quaintness of a few outstanding edifices. In trying to convey this impression we have naturally had to select out of the many available examples houses which, by their marked type, show best this thread of architectural growth, and we have treated of the families which constructed or dwelt in these houses. It is manifestly impossible to treat, even in a volume of this size, of every historic relic, but this necessary restraint has been harder because each public or private building has a history of its own, and about no place in this country has a greater mass of historical tradition collected.

Had the architect who built it been stimulated to learn what is required for a perfectly healthful condition, he would of course have been, in every case, vigilant to se cure it. Did the physician know, except in a vague and theoretical sort of way that is, did he fully realize - the degree to which the ailments he contends against, and which he should be vigilant to pre vent, are diseases due to removable causes connected with the construction and ar rangement of the dwelling, he would insist upon a reform.

John ()dlin had sons Elisha, Dudley, and Woodbridge. The first and third of these, after graduating from Harvard College, entered the ministry. \l'oodbridge was made colleague with his aged father, and after the latter's death was elected to succeed him. The com bined pastorates of father and son covered about seventy years. Elisha was called to the ministry of the church in Amesbury, where he remained until his death. It need hardly be said that, at a period when the ministerial office in itself was the object of such veneration, the Odlin family must have occupied in the town a position of great dignity and influence. This position was rendered even more secure by the possession of large wealth.' About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Approached, like temples, through avenues of human or ram headed sphinxes, they con sisted of a series of courts surrounded by colonnades, to which pylons of colossal proportions gave entrance, and of many small chambers occupied by the king, his wives and children, and the officers of his household with their attendants. There were also several sanctuaries dedicated to as many divinities, where the king, who was deified during life, worshipped his own image as well as the images of his ancestors, and took part in other sacred rites.
