Artificial Lighting
by Messrs. N. & E. Spittle, in brass, of tripod
form, is a reproduction of Adams' ornament.
Next follow four newel-post lamps for lighting
staircases. The first in wrought-copper (p. 166) for
incandescent light was designed by Mr. C. A. LI.
Roberts in conjunction with Mr. W. A. Harvey,
architect; and three are adaptations founded on the
lantern model. Messrs. George Wragge's (p. 167)
is in iron and copper, finished black; Messrs. N.
& E. Spittle's are in handwrought steel with old
armour finish (p. 167) and hammered pewtal
(p. 165) respectively.
In the way of pendants, two for oil lamps are
from designs by Mr. Edward Spencer (p. 170) and
Mr. A. Stubbs (p. 170) respectively; while another
pendant (p. 169), designed by Mr. C. A. LI.
Roberts and, like the two last-named, fitted with a
reflector, is intended for Argand burners. The
chimneys pass through the reflector, which holds
them in position and radiates the light at the
same time.
Eight designs for electric light pendants next
follow. Three of them, viz., one of Messrs.
Benson's (p. 168), one of Messrs. Perry's (p. 168)
and one of Messrs. Thomas Brawn & Co.'s
(p. 169), assimilate somewhat in form to coronas
for gas light; while the rest, by Messrs. Perry &
electrolier designed by robt. maclaurin Co_ / j 69), MeSSrS. ElgOOd & Brown (P. 17o),
executed by the scottish u Jn a \V I J)

Two table lamps designed by Mr. Stubbs, the one Percy A. Hill, represents an intermediate form

other lamp, in " grey " brass, by Mr.
Edward Spencer (p. 165), taller in
proportion than the last-named ex-
amples, is provided with convenient
handles for carrying it. A standard
light by Mr. Robert Maclaurin

quaint lines; while three standards,
one of them (p. 166) by the Guild

Artificers' Guild, in "grey" brass with
horn and brass shade and in armour-
