The hothouse, or hot house, was a plant-keeping structure that provided enough heat to permit the cultivation of tropical and semi-tropical plants in temperate climates. The hothouse often, formed part of a greenhouse, although very often the terms were used synonymously and interchangeably with conservatory. Bernard M Mahon (1806) wrote that the difference between a greenhouse and hothouse was that a greenhouse had only enough artificial heat to keep off frost and dispel damps, whereas the latter had an interior stove and was covered in more glass. "Fig. 43 Page 210 shows a house wherein provision is made for increasing the heating surface, when more than a very moderate degree of heat is required from the pipes. A box or tank, made of wood or zinc, is placed under the stage, and passes all round it on a level with the pipes. This tank is supplied by a branch pipe a, proceeding from the flow-pipe, and is provided with a tap at b, for shutting off and on the water when necessary. . ." John Punchard Jewett (1814 1884) was a Boston publisher, best known for first publishing Uncle Tom's Cabin in book form in 1852. Jewett was a brother of librarian Charles Coffin Jewett.
