I will be adding the historical information when I find or are sent it, but this project is a very big one, and I do not know when or where the information will come from.

All emails are answered.

Topics of the day.

We have not lately seen a long string of accidents due to the use of defective lamps. Whether the agitation caused some time ago against ill-constructed lamps and bad oil has had results in producing better qualities of both, or whether the use of these articles is much less common we are unaware. Certain it is there have been fewer fatalities reported lately in the newspapers. But the death-dealing lamp is still among us is made evident by a shocking affair at Northfleet. A paraffin lamp exploded in the bar of the "Tradesman's Arms," with the consequence that the house was burnt out in about 30 minutes, and a woman and her two children lost their lives through suffocation. It is well that the public should be made aware of the danger which often attends to use of paraffin lamps.
