520 1 |a "The nineteenth century opened in the flickering of tallow candles and closed in the glare of Edison's electric lamp. Between those two events inventors and manufacturers developed a wonderful assortment of progressively more efficient lighting devices, burning a variety of fuels. Lois Russell records with scientific attention to detail - backed up by more than two hundred illustrations - how these lamps were made and used. His text is interspersed with accounts of his own experiments with the fuels and mechanisms of earlier generations." "Russell drew on his own large collection of lighting devices and on the collections of museums and other individuals for his study, and documented his research with Canadian and United States patent papers, trade catalogues, newspapers, magazines, memoirs, and books. This is the first detailed story of the lighting revolution in North America. While told in the setting of the Canadian home, the developing technology of lighting was common to both sides of the border. A Heritage of Light is of equal importance to collectors and historians in the United States and Canada. This reprinted edition of Russell's classic 1968 study has a new foreword by Janet Holmes."--Jacket
