by the electric light. Several eminent eye

electric lights in the streets, and In shops

prohibit the use Of plain glass globes for
electric light unless they are properly
shaded.

actually possessed it. When George lis
foolish son, the Prince of Wales, died in
1851, Warton broke out into metrical cant

the most perfunctory tear on this particu.
