Abstract
A GREAT change has come over the methods of lighting within the last few years. We have now at our disposal means of lighting which would have seemed incredible a few years ago. Step by step with these developments has taken place the progress of education and the increase of printed matter, with the result that we use our eyes to-day far more than in the past. Our main object, therefore, should be to consider the subject of illumination from the point of view of the impression received through the eye. After emphasising this aspect of illumination, Mr. Gaster proceeds with a summary of recent developments in electric lighting.
