Abstract
Heney Edmunds, who died at Hove on Nov. 18, at the age of seventy-four years, was one of the pioneers of electric lighting. He was born at Halifax in 1853. At the age of twenty-four he introduced electric lighting by Jablochkofi candles into America. He then returned to introduce the Farmer-Wallace system of electrie lighting into England. The Brush Electric Lighting Co. appointed him its first engineer, and so early as 1879 he did much to popularise the Brush system of lighting in Great Britain.
