Incandescent Lighting is itself extensive, and is closely related to several others of great interest. In endeavouring to give a general account in so small a compass, it has been necessary to make the treatment both concise and selective. Attention has been given primarily to the mining and treatment of monazite, and the manufacture of the mantle, but an attempt has been made to bring the whole subject under review, and to describe and compare the different methods of lighting now in use. The comparative treatment has been historical as well as general, and deals particularly with considerations of cost, and of efficiency from the energy point of view.
