by which the exact size of any particular part of this stove 

 can be iinmcdiately and correctly determined. 



The drawings represent two Russian stoves of a different 

 description, intended for entrance halls, parlours, dining 

 rooms, &c. The tirst of these drawings delineates such a 

 stove as is usually placed against the wall, in the centre, 

 between the two extremities of the room. The other, such 

 as is usually placed in the corners of two contiguous apart- 

 ments and is intended to warm both. 



These stoves are not calculated to heat a current of air, 

 passing through the stove, and to disperse it through the 

 apartment by rarcfraction ; on the contrary, they are design- 

 ed to warm the circumambient air within the room, by heat 

 imbibed by the air from the exterior of the stove, and for 

 this purpose they are lofty, and the flame, heat, and smoke, 

 are made to circulate through several flues wliich are formed 

 within tjie stove, before they are suflered to escape by the 

 chimney, in which there is a regulator, to be nearly closed 

 M'hen there is no smoke, as in the common stove.

 the first of these stoves with the stove-door f/jt) and two 

 smaller doors, (a}-(a) which afford access to the dampers.
