Notes: Introduction:
"The pictures in this book show how gas is used with brilliant effect to light the busiest and most famous streets of London, the main roads of provincial cities, and the promenades of fashionable spas and seaside resorts. A recent investigation into mileage showed that four-fifths of the streets in Great Britain are illuminated by gas. The examples shown are typical of the best modern gas practice."
