This comprehensive reference guide presents a historical overview of the electric light from its scientific origins through its development into the safe, reliable, and economical fixture in our homes today. Using primary sources, including letters and public records, the author traces the evolution of lighting systems to the late 19th century. The author considers contracts, pricing, and installation details for each system. Along the way, the author examines the public's perception of electric lighting and issues of energy production, cost, and safety. The author argues that the availability of electricity brought into focus ongoing debates about the role of private enterprise in the provision of public infrastructure and the rights of companies to exploit natural resources.
