Gauger, Nicolas, 1680?-1730.

Fires improv'd : being a new method of building chimneys, so as to prevent their smoaking : in which a small fire, shall warm a room better than a much larger made the common way : with the manner of altering such chimneys as are already built, so that they shall perform the same effects : illustrated with cuts / written in French, by monsieur Gauger ; made English and improved, by J.T. Desaguliers ... ; by whom is added, the manner of making coal-fires, as useful this new-way, as the wood-fires propos'd by the French author, explain'd by an additional plate : the whole being suited to the capacity of the meanest work-man.
