For instance, a high pressure steam engine should be presented 

 as a nuisance of the most formidable kind, and its employment 

 among a croud of workmen on no account endured. The artist 

 whose trade diffuses nauseous exhalations (as the chandler) should 

 be compelled to direct them through the fire of his boiler, and in 

 fine no annoyances should be tolerated but those which admit no 

 remedy, and which are I trust few in number ; the power of man is, 

 as Bacon observes, commensurate with his knowledge, and it thei'e- 

 fore is capable of effects surpassing all calculation.
