Extract

A very important inquiry—suggested by Mr Chamberlain when President of the Board of Trade—has just been concluded by the Trinity House of London into the relative merits of electricity, gas, and oil, as lighthouse illuminants, on which I think it advisable to make a few remarks, as the general results of the investigation ought to possess a certain amount of interest for this Society.
