PLMERand Co.'s PATENT LENS CANDLE-LAMP
FOR RENDERING THE LIGHT OF ONE CANDLE EQUAL
TO THAT OF MANY, is an invention for increasing the quan-
tity of light in any required direction, by means of Lenses,
and without any additional cost of candle. Without the
Lcns it forms a handsome Table Lamp, having a dome shade,
and a contrivance for receiving one, two, or more Lenses,
that may be applied round the flame as wanted, so that as
many as eight persons can sit round one Lamp, and each
have a strong life cast on their work or books. For reading
by the fireside, or when lying in bed, it possesses an advan-
tage never before offered ; in the latter case particularly, for,
as the lamp need not be removed from the table, no danger
from fire can arise.
The PATENT MAGNUM CANDLE-LAMP, with Can-
dles of Three and Four Wicks, and giving as much light as a
large Argand Lamp, continue to be much approved by pur-
chasers. Some late improvements enable the Patentees to
offer them with increased confidence ; also the TABLE-
LAMPS, the NIGHT-LAMPS, CHANDELIERS, &c.
For lighting churches, and other public buildings, either
the Magnum Candles, or those of a smaller size, will be found
greatly preferable to oil.
The superiority of Candle-Lamps, for cleanliness, their not
requiring snuffing, trimming, or cottoning, is manifest ; and
considering the extraordinary consumption of oil in all lamps
made to burn cheap oil, and their liability to spill, they will
be found to be for most purposes probably cheaper than any
other portable light.pply to
