been first used in the United States

granted to Abraham Gesner Of VIII

North American Kerosene Gaslight
company. In the preamble to his spec
Ilcation Gesner states that he has
invented and discovered a new and
useful manufacture or composition Of
matter, being a new liquid hydrocaT-
bon which l denOminate kerosene "
