Abstract
I DO not profess to be acquainted with the means which have been recently employed for conveying electricity to illuminate places at a distance or for sub-dividing the electric light, nor is it with the slightest wish to derogate from the merit of recent inventors that I now submit a few facts as to earlier labours in the same field which may perhaps be interesting to the readers of NATURE.
