The Introductory portion of this Book is the substance of two Papers, by tlic Author,
read before the Society of Arts on December 15, 1847, and March 3, 1858; which
have been published in the Society's Transactions and Journal. It was thought, that
by drawing the Sailor's attention to the methods by which the Lights are produced,
it would be adding much to their utility, and prove interesting to many.
The varied features of the beautiful Systems in operation are necessarily, from the
nature of this Work, very briefly adverted to; and many important topics have
not been touched upon for the same reason. The excellent worlfs of Robert, Alan,
and Thomas Stevenson, will ftimish the reader with a fond of varied inforn^atipi^,
which will supply all deficiencies in this, should a further insight be desired.
Besides these works, and others of earlier date, quoted herein, the bulky Repbrte of
the Select Committees of the House of Commons, of 1822, 1834, and 1845, and that of
the Royal Commission published in the present year, if they have not advanced the
subject of their inquiry, have collected and recorded a vast mass of detail bearing
upon almost every relation of the Lighthouse System. Besides these, the Report of
the United States' Lighthouse Board, in 1852, the works of Fresnel, and other
Engineers of the French Commission, will give an excellent account of the condition
and requirements of Lighthouses.
The lists of the Lights which follow have been re-arrangcd from those published
by the Admiralty, which, under the careftU superintendence of Commander Edward
DuNSTERViLLE, R.N., have attained a'completeness approaching perfection.
In order that this "Work may preserve its utility for several years, by giving the
latest information, a Supplement, containing the additions and changes that have
occurred during the previous year, will be annually forwai'ded on application as
jdirccted.

end. The cap communicates with a powerful air-pump, by means of which the air is
exhausted from the tube, drawing up the sand or shingle with the water which
ascends, and the tube immediately descends from the effects of outward atmospheric
Sressure. The contents of the tube are then removed by the pump, which readily
raws away the sand or shingle with the water which rises during their action, and
the exhausting process is then continued. The upper end of the tube having become
level with the surface, the operation is stopped, the cap removed, a fresh tube is
affixed and secured, and the same course pat sued, and thus continued, until, with the
greatest facility, this great length of tube penetrated what must have been exceed-
ingly haid sand, nearly resembling stone, as was found by Mr. Bush in his erection
of a caisson on these sands, for his light of all nations. The practicability of the scheme
being proved, several Beacons, as before stated, were erected as on thi
e Buxey, the
Shiiigfes, the Girdler, the Margate, aud other bauds lying in the mouth of the
Thames.
Another plan has been carried into effect, at the Point of Air Lighthouse, at the
entrance of the River Dee, near Chester. This, which is similar in superstructure to
the Maplin Lighthouse, is bjr Messrs. Walker and Burgos, and consists of nine
hollow iron cylinders, 3 feet 9 inches in diameter, sunk 12 feet into the sand by the
aid of an instrument known to well sinkers as " the Miser," which extracts the sand
contained in the cylinder. In these the bases of the piles are inserted, and then filled
with concrete. But this is erected above low water mark.
Another adaptation of iron to the construction of Lighthouses has met vrith far
greater success, and promises to be of the greatest utility, whether as regards economy
or facility of construction. This is the iron Li<<:hthouse designed by Mr. Gordon. It
would seem somewhat^ singular that iron should not have been employed in this form
before, when we consider the multifarious variety of purposes to wluch it is now
applied.
A cast-iron Lighthouse was mentioned by Mr. Rennie, in 1805, for the Bell Rock,
and also, as previously stated, referring to Mitchell's screw piles, by Robert Stephen-
son, in 1800. Mr. Rennie, in alluding to the use of iron, says, *' A Lighthouse of
cast-iron might also be constructed here, and I will allow that it might have a coating
of lead, or other metallic substance, so as for a long time, at least, to resist the cffecte
of marine acid. But to make a Lighthouse that would last of such materials, would
be nearly, if not wholly, as expensive as one of stone ; while — I believe I need scarcely
say — no human ingenuity could render it as durable." But Mr. Gordon has proved
the fiitility of this latter assertion, in some experiments he has made. The first tower
of this construction was placed on the eastern end of Jamaica, called Morant Point.
This nGuie tower is erected on the centre of the remarkable ^oup of islands, the
scene of Shakespere's Tempest, and the focus of the Atlantic hurricanes. The Light-
tower is 105 feet 9 inches nigh, formed with iron plates, the entire weight of which
is nearly 100 tons. It has seven storeys, and the lower portion is filled in with con-
crete, to the height of 22 feet, to give it stability. Nearly every portion of the edifice
is of iron, and the erection of the tower was completed in ten months, finished
October 9, 1845. The li§^ht is from a beautiful dioptric first order apparatus, con-
structed by Messrs. Wilkms and Son, of Long Acre ; the lenses composing it were
made by Mr. H. Lepaute, of Paris, and is one of the most efficient and powerful lights
in the world.
One important point is the colour of Lighthouses. In many instances this has not
been sufficiently attended to ; and some of the noble Scotch towers, left of the natural
colour of the stone, too much resemble the grey background. When it shows against

ioyfn against
the land, -rhite, of course, is the best ; and if against the sky, a dark colour is pre-
ferable. Sed is Hc etimes used, as at Dungeness, &c. ; and tne extension of the u^e
of coloured str'.T ,:d bands is recommended. This has been found paiticularly ser-
viceable for day i .„lnction in the British American lights, where the snow lies much
longer against tLb ileld fences at right angles to the coast, and has precisely the same
appearance at a distance as a white tower.
There is one difficulty in the use of coloured bands, and that is, during hazy weather,
the appearance of the tower is frequently that of a ship under sail, the bright stripes
being like the sails ; this requires caution. The famous Eddystone has lately been
painted in this way to distinguish it from the Bishop Hock.
The buildings we have been describing, commencin^r with those of ordinary land
erections and terminating with such towers as the Bishop Rock, have been extended
as far as human skill and power can probably be exercised. Still it is necessary, not
only to mark a danger, or indicate safety, but to warn ships from the approach to a
shoal or reef, or to show a channel far away from land.
The numerous light-ships which have been established by Great Britain have
greatly fulfilled this requirement. Oar country possescs 47 such vessels, of which 5
belong to Ireland and one to Scotland. Other countries have but very few light-
ships, except the United States, which has 48 ; but they have only recently been made
worthy of comparison with the English light-ships.
It is manifest that a lightvessel can perform its office but imperfectly compared
with the stability ensured in a fixed Lighthouse. Its floating character prevents the
use of that refined and enlarged apparatus which is the characteristic of a Shore
Lighthouse. In addition to this, the establishment of a lightvessel is very much
more expensive. The average cost of the English Lightships is £3,600 ; of the Irish,
6,200. Those of the United States (the best), the Nantucket New South Shoals,
£4,375.
The cost of maintenance is much greater than that of a Lighthouse establishment.
This is manifest from the difference of condition. Three men are sufficient to a rock
Lighthouse, 1 1 are required to man a Lightship ; consequently, while the annual cost
of a first-class Lighthouse is from £265 to £340 ; in Scotland, £380 ; Ireland, £405
;to £485; and in France, from £320 to £415; that of the Lightships amounts to
|£M03, £1,464, and £1,320 per annum for England, Liverpool, and Ireland, respect-
lively, and £1,354 for the United States' Nantucket vessel. These ai'e strong arguments
[in favour of stationary buildings.
The question of their sufficiency depends also in some measure on the solution of a
)roblem, which Mr. Herbert, of the Trinity House, proposes to make the subject of
3xperiments on a large scale.
It has been proposed by him to extend the principle of lighting by establishing
Moating Lights m the Fairway ; the hulls to be constructed on the principle of his
puoys, and the light the best known.
I The efficiency of a Floating Light depends on the attention paid to the points in
Icference to the quality of Lighthouses, with one very important audition, namely, that
|t should remain on its station in all weathers.
* " The best proof that the lights are efficient in the last particular is to be found in
le statements of the Lighthouse authorities, which are fully confirmed by the
/idence of mariners. The Lightvessels very seldom go adrift, and there is no instance
I record in which the crew have voluntarily run from their stations in bad weather.
^/hen they have been driven from their moorings, the vessels have always been
itplaced in a very short time, and none have ever been wrecked. The mariners'
^idence on this point is valuable, because the rare instances in which Lightvessels
jive been off their stations are repeatedly mentioned by independent witnesses as
larkable events. It does not appear that the lights nave ever been accidentally
Uinguished." *
Boport of the Royal Commisiiion, March, 1861, p. 17.
8 DESCRIPTION OF LIGHTHOUSES.
Much has to be learned about the best form for resisting the force of winds and
waves when the vessel is always at anchor. The shape of the hull now varies con-
siderably. Some are longer than others. The part of the vessel to which the moor-
ings are attached, and the points where the chains enter, are different. The Irish
vessels are generally longer and sharper than those in England, and set an after-sail
when its use enables them to ride more easily. The testimony of the men on board
has been in favour of considerable length, fine entrance, and a low point for attaching
the moorings.
The Trinity House Lightvessels are painted red. In Ireland they are black with a.
white streak. At Liverpool, two are red and one black ; and they are all distin-
guished bj balls hoisted at the mantheads, and by other signals, and some have their
names pamted on their sides. Black and red seem to be the colours which contrast
best with the colour of the sea, and they are, in fact, best seen.
The United States sea Lig'htships, where they have been constructed on the
improved models of the European floats, since the establishment of the Lighthouse
Board in 1852, are painted either cream-colour or white.
It is a remarkable fact, that the Lightships lying in very exposed situations, as that
at the Seven Stones, near SciUy, and the Coningbeg, ride very much easier than those
in shallow though sheltered waters, as at the Spurn, off the Humber ; the Owers ;
l^e Cattegat, or the Arklow. This is owing to the great scope of heavy cable which
is out in me one case, acting as preventive to her pitching heavily while she crosses the
sea ; and short cable renders a Lightship, in some positions, one of the most unplea-
sant situations in the world. In the shoal water, wnen the wind b strong, the vessels
sometimes ride broadside to the tide and sea. Where the swell is much larger, as in
the open ocean, the tides are not so strong. The efficiency of a Lightship is thus
impaired by her want of stability. The remedy for this serious drawback involves
the grand consideration, whether it is not possible to remodel the Lighthouse system,
so to speak, by the establishment of deep sea Floating Lights, if a vessel can be con-
structed of such a form as to ride steadily and be secure at her mooring^.
The proposal of Mr. George Herbert, above mentioned, for this important sub-
ject, is deserving of every consideration. In the case of the numerous buoys and
Deacons constructed and established on his principle, as shown in Liverpool Bay and
elsewhere, it certainly does appear that the subject should not be relinquished till it
is demonstrated that modern engineering skill cannot do in this what has been done
in other apparently eqiial difficulties. Mr. Herbert's plan of the Beacon is that which
keeps it constantly upright, with but little oscillation. His proposed is to moor a line
of tnese large vessels along the fairway of the English and St. George's Channels,
showing lights of the finest character at great elevations ; so that by steamers passing
up channel on one side and down on the other side, much of the risk of colUsion (that
increasing and fatal evil) would be avoided, and the anxieties and dangers consequent
upon hugging the land would also not be incurred.
A few words may be here added upon Beacons and Buoys, as accessories to our
present subjeet. In some cases Beacons approach the excellence and costliness of
standing Lighthouses. Thus the dangerous Wolf Bock and Rimdlestone are marked
with stone Beacons, the first of which cost nearly £12,000, and immense labour.
There are 261 structures of some magnitude erected as Beacons under the public
authorities of our country ; and it is thought that our system, although capable of
some improvement, is generally superior to that of foreign nations.
In the form and character of Buoys there has been very great improvement of late
years, especially since the employment of iron in their construction, as in the case of
ship-building. In Great Britain and Ireland, 1861, there were about 1,100 Buoys in
position, excluding wreck, warping, and many others of minor impoitance ; about
one-half of which are under the public authorities. They generally keep their posi-
tions excellently, the chief accident occurring through being run down. Out of the
whole number only 63 broke adrift in 1858, and of these a very large proportion were
imder local authorities. Mr. Herbert's Buoys, as before alluded to, answer their
purpose admii'ably. Peacock's refuge Buoys are also excellent ; and there are other

forms, as Lenox's and Poulter's, which are very efficient. The spiral form and dark
colours (black or red) seem to be the most usefid. The cost of a Buoy varies from
£27 to £36 for the ordinary can, up to £130 and £197 for the first class spiral
Buoys.

1.— LIGHTS.
The first Lighthouses, such as the Cordouan and the North Foreland, had originally
on their summit open fire-places, or chaufiers ; in that of the former were burnt billets
of oak wood, and of the latter, coal ; and this was the only means of indicating their
situation during the night. A few words will show how incompletely these must have
performed their office. Of course, the time at which a light becomes most serviceable
18 during tempestuous weather ; and a wind, blowing towards the land, causes that
dread to mariners — a lee-shore ; yet this wind would drive the flames of an open fire
awav from the direction in which they were most wanted to be seen ; thus tne bars
of tne g^te were often nearly melting to leeward, while towards the sea the coals
remained untouched by fire. There was frequently, however, this advantage in the
open fire, that during the fog or rain the glare of 4he fire was visible by reflection in
the atmosphere, though the fire itself could not be seen. Such a feature would be of
no advantage in the modem system, as will bQ hereafter shown.
The North Foreland Lighthouse, between Kamsgate and Margate, will be more
familiar to many than other Lighthouses, and will serve as an excellent example of
the progress of illumination. This Beacon was instituted for indicating the pioximity
of the Goodwin Sands. The first intimation we have of its existence is in 1636, in
Charles' the First's reign, when license was granted to Sir John Meldrum to renew
and continuo this and the South Foreland Lighthouse for the same purpose. At this
time it was merely a large glass lantern on the top of a timber and plaister house,
which was burnt m 1683. Towards the end of the same century, the present tower
was partially erected ; a strong octagonal structure, having the iron p;rate, or chaufler,
for burning coals. Fiom the mfficulty of keeping up a proper flame in windy or rainy
weather, about the year 1732, it was covered with a sort of lantern, with large sash
windows, and the coal fire was kept alight by means of large belloM^s, which the
attendants blew throughout the night. This was found not to ans\/er, and the
refiected glare above mentioned was thought desirable. Accordingly, the lantern was
removed, and the fire restored to its orig.nal condition. Matters went on thus till
1790, when the tower was raised to its present height of 70 feet, and farther improve-
ments made in the lantern, by the introduction of lan^s and other apparatus, here-
after to be described.
After some alterations of the Cordouan wood fire, the mariners complained that they
could not see the light at the distance of two leagues as formerly. But Smcaton
informs us, that the coal fire of the Spurn Point Lighthouse, at the mouth of the
Humber, which was constructed on a good principle for burning, had been seen thirty
miles off.
The only exceptions to the fires were the noble Eddystone lights, which then used
to exhibit a chandelier of twenty-four wax candles, five of which weighed 2 lbs., and
the Liverpool Lighthouses, which had oil lamps, with rude reflectors.
The use of coal fires has not been so long abolished as might be imagined. In
Britain they were used tiU 1823. Thus the Isle of May Lighthouse, at the entrance

of the Frith of Forth, had a coal Are till 1810 ; at St. Bees Hoad, Cumberland, oil
•was first used in 1823; at the Flat Holm, Bristol Cliannol, in 1820, &c.
It is stated that a coal Are is still used on the Gronskar Lijyhthouse, East coast of
Sweden, They were in operation on the two towers of Nidingcn, in the Cattegat,
till 1846.
The general use of f/ood lights is of vory recent date. During early times the modes
of lighting were most imperfect, and the rude lamps, with their thick, torch-like
"wicks, which were the best then attainable, form a ridiculous contrast to the present
universal brilliancy required.
Upon the introduction of the Argand lamp, a vast step was advanced towards the
perfection of Lighthouses. Tliis advance in artificial light Avas the greatest previous
to the introduction of gas. It was discovered by M. Argand, a citizen of Geneva,
about 1780 or 1785. It has remained as he left it, and appears as perfect in principle
as can be looked for. Its perfection as an experiment was almost accidental. We are
informed by the younger brother of Argand of its accidental discovery. He says,
" My brother had long been trying to bring his lamp to bear. A broken-ofF neck of a
flask was lying on the chimney-piece ; I hap])ened to reach it over the table, and to
place it over the circular flame of the lamp ; immediately it rose with brilliancy. My
brother started from his seat in ecstasy, rushed upon me with a transport of joy, and
embraced me with rapture." Thus was the Argand lamp formed.
On the introduction of a more efficient means of illumination, and the consequent
abandonment of the coal fires, Lighthouses assumed a more important position in
maritime affairs, and they were accordingly largely increased in number.
The cylindrical-wicked lamp, in its various forms, is the usual mode of lighting
, employed in Lighthouses. For the reflectors, the wick is nearly an inch in diameter ;
for the lens lights, a more powerful and complicated lamp is used.
For a first-order light, this lamp consisted, in the first instance, of four concentric
wicks, of the respective diameters of 0*827, 1*69, 2-52, and 3-39 inches, the smaller
apparatus being constructed of 3 or 2 concentric wicks ; but within these last 10 yeara
the interior wick has been removed from all the burners, it being thought that a light
of superior brightness could be obtained by allo^ving mord air to pass into the flame
on the inside, and forcing this air outwards on to it by a metal breaker or button kept
below the level of the flame, so as not to interfere with the rays of light emanating
from all sides of it. But an undue economy has been forced on the consumption of
oil, and the metal bntton hiding some of the upper rays, it is probable that the
efficiency of the light has been impaired, and a portion of it screened from the upper
part of the apparatus. The original form of the lamp will therefore be restored.
The oil is made to flow into the burners by various means, as is stated above. Fresnel's
invention consisted of a series of four small pumps, worked by clock-work, which forced
the oil upwards to the flames. Another mode was by weights acting on a piston ; a
third by a spring doing the same office, a plan which has since become in universal
use in the moderator lamps. Another mode, the pneumatic lamp of Messrs. Wilkins,
acted by means of the pressure of air in the reservoir ; and another, fre'»rtion of a Hphero. Its properties
will bo better understood by the diugram. The Ime P V O w Buch a paraboho curve,

normals respectively to lines drawn parallel to tne axis, V Z. Thus a ray from the
lamp, F, thrown on the surface of the reflector at a, will be reflected in the direction
af, which is parallel to the axis, V Z, and the angle of reflection, & a c, is equal to the
angle of incidence, due; or, in other words, it makes with the normal, a z, the an^le,
g a h, equal to the adjacent angle, h a i. And this property belongs to every portion
of the surface of the parabola, and consequently the rays will be represented by the
lines F x x, F to w, &c. Thus it will be understood that this reflector must be most
perfect in its action at that portion comprehended between the vertex, V, and the
rectum or principal parameter, B D. For, as any deviation from the true figure will,
of course, be doubled by tho operation of the instrument, it will be readily seen that
the acute angles made by incident rays, towai'ds (he mouth of the reflector, will be
much more easily distorted by any defect, than when tho angles are much more
obtuse, and the reflection more direct, as they will be behind tho parameter. This
will show, as before, that the portion at the back of the light is the most effective of
the parabolic reflector. There is some loss of light in the reflector, which will be
more particularly adverted to presently.
Supposing it possible to produce a perfect reflector of the foregoing figure, and in
its focus we were to place a point of lif>ht, it would send forth a cylinder of rays equal
in diameter to its double ordinate, or the distance between G and P ; and if we had to
construct a light apparatus which should exhibit a light in every direction in
azimuth, or round the whole 360 degrees of the horizon, it is manifest that it would
be impossible to do so with any number of buch iustiniments : there would be dark
intervals between the directions of their axes.

33 hueh reflectors to fonn a complete zone of light.
With respect to the invention of parabolic mirrors, we find them mentioned at n
very early period, though not in connection with the subject of illumination, but in
reference to their powers of focalising the rays of the sun to form burning in^tru-
ments, an inverse principle of that of lamp reflectors. In a work entitled " Panto-
metria, by Leonhard Digges, publinhcd in London in lo'l, the author states that
" with a glasso framed by a revolution of a section parabolicall, I have set fire to
Kowder half a mile and more distant." In the nrosecution of this subject, the celebrated
[apicr and Sir Isaac Newton experimented with parobolic reflectors before U>7*J.
And the celebrated Button, with the same object, proposed the polyzonal lens, now
modified for Lighthouse purposes, as will be mentioned hereafter.
The first parabolic reflectors for liighthouscs were used at Liverpool, probably in
1763, certainly previous to 1777, for in that year William Hutchinson, Dock Master
of that place, published his " Practical Seamanship," and in that work ho fully
describes the apparatus used in the four Lighthouses built at Liverpool in 1703.*
The origin of their use is curious. It is said, that at a convivial meeting of some
scientific men at Liverpool prior to this date, that one of the company wagered that
he would read a newspaper at the distance of 200 feet by the light of a farthing
candle. This he afterwards won by means of a wooden bowl, liacd with putty, in
rarnboUo Reflectors used in the Liverpool Lighthouses, erected in 1763 ; copied
ft'om a plate in Hutchinson's "Practical fcjeaman8hip,"_1777, formed of wood
and lined with pieces of looking-glasp, or of plates of tin. The oil kept on a
level with the flame by a drippiug-pot, supplying the reservoir at the back.
* Lighthouses were not always looked upon as useful aids. Tho Mayor and Corporntion
of Liverpool wrote to Sir G. Ireland, their representative in Parliament, on January 5, 1670,
to appear against Heading' i patent for Lighthouses :—" In regard those Lighthouses will bo
no benefit to our Mariners, but a hurt, and Expose them to more danger if trust to them ;
and albo be a very gi-eat and unnecessary burden and charge to them." See Transactions

" The lamps are like tho reflectors, proportional to make a greater or less blaxe as
required ; their spreading burning parts ai'e from 3 to 12 and H inches broad, and

test of a fair trial, and the preference and advantages given to them even by their
opponents, as there always will be to new things commonly calling them new whims,
tul time and trial confirm them as metal improvements."
Thus writes Mr. Hutchinson, in 1777 t and he also proposed other and more com-
plete reflectors similar to those we now possess.
The reflectors now used in the Trinity House lights are constnictcd, as before mon-
tioned, according to the formula proposed by Captain Joseph Iluddart, F.ll.S., an
Elder Brother of the Trinity Corporation ; and a man of whom England ma^. bo
proud. These reflectors are nence Known by the name of Huddart's reflectors, *uiid,
as far as their principle is concerned, they may bo pronounced perfect. Their manu-
facture is conducted with every care ; but, of course, it is absolutely impossible to pro-
duce a faultless instiniment : but as they are made, they may be considered among
the most perfect specimens of workmanship.
The proposition for parabolic reflectors was made by M. Teuldre, of the French
Royal Engineers, in a memoir dated June 26, 17'^ 3, as intended for the Cordouan
Lighthouse, but they were in use in England uiuny years previous to that period.*
They were also constructed, by Lenoir, of silvurcd copper, under the direction of the
Chevalier Borda, in 1780.
In the year 1786, reflectors and oil lamps were proposed at the first meeting of the
Scottish Lighthouse Commissioners. The first metallic reflectors used in the Northern
Lighthouses were constructed by Mr. Thomas Smith, of Edinburgh. Tho figure was
given to them by a plaster mould, and the cavity was afterwards filled in, by means
of cement, with small facets of mirror-glass. This must have done its work very
imperfectly, r Ithough the general figure was capable of considerable accuracy. In

the Cordouan.

The riflectors in use by tho Trinity House arc 21 inches in diomf'tcr for shore
lights, aiid 4 inches of focal length, having a total reflecting surface of dlK-U Nquaro
inches. They cost about £13 1 lOs. The Scotch arc of 24 inches apert "o, and cost
£43. Messrs. Wilkins are proposing them of 36 inches in diameter. Tacy ore most
excellently made, and have lasted, unimpaired, 30 or 40 years.
The brilliancy of the ray from this reflector is considerably 8troncr<»r ii the diroo«
tion of tho axis, that is, when viewed directly in front, than it is for some (i stance on
either side of that direction ; and at great distances, injijced lights, when ')u arc in
tho direction between tho axes of the adjoining reflectors, the liglit is frcqucirly glim-
mering and feeble, but a small change in the position of the ship brings yi u again
into tho brighter beam of tho reflector, one of which, it will be understood, in >nly in
sight at a.time. This is an important observation to tho sailor, in distinguishing ono
flxed light from another, of different description of apparatus.
When a revolving light is required, a number of these reflectors are fixed *o tho
sides of a triangular or quadrangular iron frame, and the whole caused to revoi c in
regular periods, by means of clockwork. The reflectors on each side of the revolving
frame, from four to eight in number, are thus successively directed to every point of
the horizon ; and the combined result of their rays form a flash of greater or ioss
duration, according to the rapidity of their revolution.
From the amount of divergence (13), the period during which such a light will
remain visible is from 12 to 15 seconds, the light gradually increasing, and as gra-
dually diminishing. And as tho action of the reflector is only in the direction lo
which it is placed, tho intervals between tho flashes will bo quite dark, for a shorter
or longer period, according to the distance from which it is viewed, whether it ia
beyond tiiat to which the unassisted flame will reach.
'The light from a revolving catoptric or reflecting system is much brighter than
from a fixed light on either principle, as you have the combined cflfcct of several
reflectors, each of which gives an equal amount of light, it is calculated, to 3o0 or 400
such lights without any reflectors.
In floating Lightvessels the light is always shown from parabolic reflectors. These
are smaller than those used in Lighthouses, being 12 inches in diameter. For fixed
lijjhts, eight lamps and retiectors, each suspended on gimbals, or on ball and socket-
joints, so that they always maintain their perpendicularity, notwithstanding the roU-

DESCRIPTION OF LIGHTHOUSES.

ing of the vessel, arc arranged in an octagonal lantern, which goes round the mast,
and is hauled up to the mast-head when on service, and is let down on the deck
during the day, or while the lamps are trimming. Revolving lights for floating
Lightvessels have four or eight lumps, and similar reflectors, and the lantern revolves
around the mast. The adjoining diagram is a representation of one of Messrs. Wil-
kins' Revolving Light Lanterns. It is very similar to that of a fixed light, the clock*
work moving it is placed between decks.
Only one English Lightvessel, that in the
Tees, has a dioptric apparatus. Several of
the Lightvessels are now made to show re-
volving red or bright lights where they were
formerly fixed lights, as in the case of the
Nore Lightship, it having been found that
in many cases it was difficult to distinguish
the fixed light of the Lightvessel from the
mast-head lights of the ships at anchor near
them.
The red revolving lights are now made
very efficient. The red light is made by using
a coloured chimney to the lamp ; or, m some
cases, a pane of red glass is placed upon the
reflector. A green or blue light is sometimes
used as a pier mark, or in other subordinate
positions ; but red is the only efficient colour.
The French coloured lights are much paler
than ours. The best red ^lass is coloured with
chloride of gold, known in the middle ages as
the purple of Cassius. It has only been re-
discovered of late years. When the Bell
Hock Lighthouse was completing, there was
great difficulHr in procuring the red panes for
the coloured flash.
An apparatus for producing an intermitting
light, of the only appearance to which such a
term is applicable, is in use in three of the
Scottish Lighthouses, the invention of Mr.
Robert Stevenson. It is an arrangement by
means of which the light is suddenly obscured
by an eclipser, and as suddenly appears again
at its fill! brilliancy. This feature distin-
guishes it completely from revolving lights,
which come gradually to their greatest bright-
ness, and as gradually decrease, and this
either from the reflecting or refiracting ap-
paratus.
There is yet another sort of reflector in
use in France for harbour lights, called the
Bordier Marcet apparatus, from its inventor,
or the sideral lamp {/anal sideral). It is used
with a single lamp, and consists of two cir-
cular reflectors about ISj inches diameter,
whose figure is formed by the revolution of a
parabola around its focus in a horizontal ^lane ; the centre of this is taken out to
admit the lamp, which thus has all around it, above and below, a reflecting surface,
which sends its upward and downward rays in a horizontal direction.
The lights in the ensuing list, which are upon the catoptric or reflecting system,
are distinguished by this mark • . Their magnitude, or order, is not indicated ; the
class of the light is to be inferred from its importance.

3.— THE DIOPTRIC OR LENS SYSTEM.
This system, — ^that in which the controlling apparatus is placed before the light,—
is next to be considered.
There are several very early notices, which seem to shadow out this principle. One
is given in Smeaton's account of the Eddystonc, where a London optician pro-
posed to grind the panes of the lantern to circular segments, so as to form a sphere of
15 feet in diameter. This was negatived, and we cannot learn what the particiilars
were, although an optician, it would be thought, would deal with refraction and
economise the light.
The use of lenses in Lighthoxises dates from early times. It is more than probable
that Argand's invention soon directed attention to the best mode of concentrating the
light. William Hutchinson relates an experiment tried at Liverpool with a hollow
lens filled with brine, which, however, was broken by the heat or the lamp. It is
certain that they were placed in one of the Portland Lighthouses between 1786 and
1790, by Thomas Rogers. These lenses were 21 inches in diameter, and 5| inches
thick in the centre ; the flame of the lamp was 3 inches in diameter, and behind it was
placed a glass (spherical^reflector, 12 or 18 inches in diameter, and by a new method
silvered over the convex side without quicksilver. These lenses were also adopted by
Rogers in the Lighthouses at the Hill of Howth, and at Waterford. Similar, but smaller
lenses, 16 or 18 inches in diameter, carefully worked, and which cost £50 each, were
in use at the North Foreland. There were 15 of them placed there at the commence-
ment of the present century by the Governors of Greenwich Hospital, where they
remained tiU 1834, when the Trinity House replaced them by reflectors, which have
again recently been removed for a beautiful new dioptric apparatus.
The lens apparatus now in use is peculiar. It is called, fi'om its figure, the Annular
or Polyzonal Lens.
The history of the polyzonal lens is simple. Like the parabolic reflector, it was
originally designed for a burning instrument, by collecting the rays of the sun, and
for no other purpose. For a very long period these instruments, of various forms,
occupied a large share of the attention of the experimentalists of the last and pre-
ceding centuries. Modem progress has converted them into scientific toys.
The merit of the earliest suggestion is due to the celebrated Buffbn, the French
'naturalist, who, in 1773, accordmg to Condorcet, proposed, for a burning glass, to form
it of three concentric circular pieces upon each other. If a lens were required of 24
inches in diameter, and 3 inches thick in the middle, then the central portion was to
be of 8 inches diameter, and 1 inch thick, inserted into a circular zone ; ground to the
same focus, and 16 inches diameter ; and this again into a similar zone of 24 inclies.
"buffbn states that the rays would be twice as powerful passing through 1 inch, as
they would through 3 incnes thickness of glass.
The suggostion of Buffbn was acted on by the Abbe Rochon, with some suc-
cess, in 1780; but his operation consisted in grinding down a single piece of
glass into concentric rings. A similar lens was made by Messrs. Cookson, of
Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and tried by the Northern Lighthouse Board. This process is
necessarily attended with an enormous amount of trouble and expense, and the result
must be precarious.
The particulars of Buffbn's invention appear in most of the English and Scotch
Encyclopaedias, published after 1796. In 1812 Sir David Brewster proposed a plan
for a built lens in the Edinburgh Encyclopaedia, vol. v. This was also intended for a
burning instrument, and no mention is made at this time for its converse properties,
that of distributing light, as adopted for Lighthouses. There is no need of contro-
versy on this. Lighthouses, at this date, had not then attained the importance they
now have ; and the beautiful reflectors then in use, as in the Bell Rock, were con-
sidered to do their work perfectly. Besides this, the polyzonal lens is not adapted
iovjixed lights ; the cylindric retractor for the purpose was not perfected till 1836.
It is to the late M. Augustin Fresnel that we owe the introduction of the lenti-
cular system, and hence it is frequently called by his name. Its origin dates from

1819. During tho progress of the ^eat Trigonometrical Survey of Franco, under
MM. Arago and Mathieu, powerful kghts were used as signals ( and one of these
lenses, 3 feet in diameter, constructed by M. Soleil from the designs of Fresnel, was
nppUed to a large lamp on Cape Grisnez, and other places, in the autumn of 1821.
Major Colby, who was employed in the operations on our side, informed Mr. Robert
Stevenson of the particulars, in Nov. 1821. On July 23, 1823, the splendid revolving
apparatus of this system was first shown in the Coraouan Lighthouses.
In 1824, Mr. Robert Stevenson visited the French Lighthouses, &c., and reported
on them to the Scottish Lighthouse Board. The first application of the system there
was in the Isle of May Light, by Mr. Alan Stevenson, the talented son of the before-
named eminent Lighthouse engineer, in October, 1825. Holland was the first to
follow France in the use of the system. The Trinity House erected the first lenti-
cular apparatus in the Start Lighthouse, 1836.
The Lighthouses of France were very few in number prior to Frcsnel's invention ;
upon his success the French Government determined upon the establiuhment of tho
grand system adopted in 1825, and of the sole application of the lens in all cases of
new lights. The case was dificicnt on our side. Many of the present lights existed
long before the invention of Fresnel, and, having been erected as exigencies arose,
there necessarily was not that exact order and regularity that might have been
attained by a total change and remodelling at any })eriod. That our system does not
sufier by comparison with those of other countries, is a grand proof of the talent of
our Trinity Board and other authorities, and of the skill of our engineers.
Tho lenticular apparatus may be thus described: — It consists of a central and
powerful lamp, of course emitting luminous beams in every direction. Around this
IS placed an arrangement of glass, so formed as to refract these beams into parallel
rays in the required directions.
The laws of refraction are well understood, and require but little explanation here.
We shall just allude to it sufficiently to elucidate our subject. When a ray of light
J asses out of a rarer into a denser medium, or vice versd, it is refracted from its original
irection, and assumes that which is induced principally by tho density of the second
medium. This is made familiar by the bent iippcurance of un oar, or a mooring when
it dips beneath the water. The ude of tho gluab lens is thus to bend the rays which
fall on and emerge ^ ^/
from its 2 surfaces.
The action of the
bull's-eye Ian tern, in
sending forth the
rays in one direc-
tion, will explain
tliis principle. As the
normal figure of tho
lens is that to which
its powers are due,
the polyzonal lens
must be considered
as such a complete
lens with the unne-
cessary portions cut
away.
One great advan-
tage in the decompo-
sition of the original
lens is that of dimi-
nishing its weight
veiy considerably,
and also the greater
certainty of the
more uniform density of the material from which it in uiude,
Diagram illustrative of tho principle of tho polyzonal lens. A B C is
a section of an ordinary plano-convex Ions, whose focus is at F. As
tho groat thickness of the central portion abstracts much of tho light

circular zones, whoso section is aa tho shaded part of tho diagram,
and these sections being all placed in ono plane, as A' B' C, the latter
will have all the optical properties of tho former, because the two

The principle of the polyzonal lens being thus explained, the method of applying
these to control the lummoiis rays of a lamp is now to be shown. For this purpose
they arc built into a square figure, that is, for such lenses as arc for revolving lights.
For a revolving light, eight of such lenses, which, for a light of the first order, have
a focal length of 3 feet 0*25 inches, are formed into an octangular dnmi which sur-
rounds the central lamp, placed in their common focus. Thisi then, is the principal
portion of the controlling apparatus for a revolving light.
The central portion of a first order dioptric revolving light apparatus (tho Bermuda
light). A A represents the polyzonal lenses, of which there are eight, arranged
around the central lamp. The diameter of the octangular prism formed by them is
6 ft. 0*6 in. B B are two of tho eight upper series of reflecting zones. These aro
composed of separate silvered-glass mirrors, and each diminishing in diameter,
forming a cupola rising to 5 ft. 6 in. above the flame. C C, two of tho four lower
series of zones, which are all of the same diameter. The action of these zoiies
will be explained presently.
The lamp which this system is applied to, contains four concentric wicks, (of tho
respective diameters of '857, 1*69, 2*52, and 3'39 inches,) and the oil, by a peculiar
construction, either by a mechanical contrivance of small pumps worked by clock-
work, or of springs or weights, or else by the pressure of air upon the surface of tho
oil in the reservoir, is made to flow copiously over these wicks, otherwise the great
heat evolved during its combustion would char the wicks. This lamp consumes a pint
of sperm oil per hour ; or, according to the computation of the French Commission dcs
Phares, 570 gallons per year. This powerftil apparatus being in tho centre of tho
surrounding lenticular system, the ray impinging upon each lens is refracted into a
scries of parallel, or nearly parallel beams, whose section is the figure of the lens, in
the case of the revolving light, or into a continuous zone or band of light aroimd tho
horizon in the fixed light. M. A. Fresnel, in the construction of the Cordouan
dioptric system, used a more complicated system than that above described. A similar
arrangement also b in operation at the Skerryvore, and some other stations ; and in
these cases every available means is taken to economize the light.
For a Jixed light, another adaptation of the principle is used. \Vc muut suppose

tho section of the lens, A B (Diagram on p. 20), to revolve around the focal point, F,
and in tho same plane, which will produce a series of horizontal belts, having their
vertical section similar to that of the lens in its circular form. The effect of this,
applied to a central lamp, will he to produce a continuous belt of light in azimuth,
instead of a series of beams parallel, or nearly parallel, to the axis of the circular
lenses, as in the case of the revolving apparatus. In the focus of this belt, or drum of
glass, is placed the lamp, as in the former case.
Originally this cylinder for a fixed light of the first order was made into a polygon
of thirty-two sides ; but in 1836, the Messrs. Cookson, of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, made
one entire, which was ihe greatest step then achieved in the construction of these
lenses.
As the systems we have been explaining will only act upon those beams which are
comprized within the angle contained between the focus and the upper and lower
edges of the lenses, or about three-eighths of the whole quantity of light, it becomes
necessary to economize, as far as possible, those portions which are above and beneath
this portion of the apparatus.
In the early apparatus, the upper portion consisted of a series of catoptric zones,
formed of separate pieces of silvered concave glass, arranged in such a maimer as to
reflect horizontally the beams thrown on to them. The degree of curvature and in-
clination to the plane of the system was determined, as in the case of the paraboUc
reflector, by considering their section to be a portion of such parabolas as would, if
carried around the focus, form perfect reflectors, as will be readily understood by the
subjoined Diagram, where the dotted lines show the form of that portion of the para-
bola not comprized in the catoptric zone. The same applies to the lower portion of
the system.
In the small, or harbour lights, instead of these reflecting mirrors, another plan was
first used by M. Augustin Fresnel, that of catadioptric rings, composed of glass, which
totally^ reflected the rays thrown on to them. The action of these zones or rings is
explained in the third Diagram.

who was connected with tho French Commission des Fonts ot Chanssdes, a ehort time
before the death of M. Augustin Fresnel.
One of the most important improvements which took place in pharology was the
adaptation of this accessory on a much larger scale than had previously been supposed
possible, by the sug[gcstion of Mr. Alan
Stevenson, who, in ms construction of the
Skerryvore Lighthouse, used every means
to render this miportant edifice most com-
plete in every respect. In conjunction
with M. Leonor Fresnel and M. Fran9oi8,
iun., the constructors, this apparatus was
added to the lower portion of the Skerry-
vore dioptric light, consisting of five glass
zones, which replaced in the ordinary
system four horizontal zones, each com-
posed of thirty-two concave mirrors. In
a fixed light apparatus of the first order,
nineteen of these catadioptric zones replace
eleven reflecting zones.
" Nothing can be more beautiful," says
Mr. Alan Stevenson, " than an entire ap-
paratus for a fixed light of the first order.
It consists of a central belt of refractors,
forming a hollow cylinder, 6 feet in dia-
meter and 30 inches high ; below it are six
triangular ring^ of glass ranged in a cylin-
diical form, and above a crown of thirteen
rings of glads, forming by their union a
hollow cage composed of polished glass, 10
feet high and 6 feet in diameter. I know
of no work of art more beautiful or cre-
ditable to the boldness, ardour, intelligence,
and zeal of the artist."
The divergence of the polyzonal lens is
much less than that of the parabolic re-
flector, being about 6° 9', owing to the smaller angle subtended by the flame upon the
■ inner surface of the lenses. From this cause, the flash in a revolving light is but of
short d'iration, while that from revolving reflectors lasts much longer, from their
greater powers of divergence. To compensate for thin, the light from the lenticular
apparatus is, within a certain distance, continuous ; tho upper and lower portions of
the system giving a steady light.
Fixed and Flashing Lights. — There is one character of light in the French
(and other) systems which is peculiar, and requires special mention, as it does not
appear to be properly understood by many, and is frequently an important distinction.
This, the feu jfixe varie par une ecfat of Fresnel, has this appearance in a light whoso
period is four minutes: first, a bright fixed light, for above 3| minutes ; then a short,
but not total eclipse, for about 10 seconds; then a very bright flash, of much greater
intensity than the preceding fixed light; then another short eclipse, and then the
fixed light as before. In the larger apparatus the distinction between this and an
ordinary revolving light is well marked by the intensity of the fixed light between
the brighter flashes, and also especially by the short eclipses preceding and following
the bright flash. In the smaller apparatus the bright flash is not so well marked ;
but the short eclipses will be a clear index to its character.
There are difierent modes of producing this efiect. Fresnel's plan was to have an
ordinary fixed light appai'atus, around the outside of which two revolving panels of
refractors passed in regular succession. These panels consisted of vertical lenses,
similar to the horizontal central belt. They thus received on their inner surface all
the light which issued from the central lamp through the fixed lens on the angle
ADO will represent a section of this glass
zone, which is so placed with regard to the
focus, F, that a ray falling upon it at/ will
be at such an angle on D A, that instead of
passing out, it wQl be totally reflected fr^ra
that point of incidence, as f f", and will
finally assume the direction,/" /" of a right
angle to tiio normal, a a, as required. This
angle.in passing from glass into air, is about
41° 49', and a greater angle of incidence
gives a reflected ray. In the largest zone,
the radius of the ore (the reflecting surface),
D A, is equal to 28-46 feet, and tiie angle,
D A, is equal to 117" 26' 42".

which they intercepted, and which each reftracts into parallel beams to the direction it
faces as it revolves. Therefore, instead of the rays passins in all directions on that
azimuth, a portion of them are collected and concentrated in one direction fur the
bright flash ; and the angle between this bright beam and that emanating from the
fixed portion of the apparatus is that which forms the eclipses. The upper and lower
cones, of course, are those which maintain a constant light ; so that the eclipses in
this, as well as in most other lenticular lights, is not total within short distances.
Sometimes the flash is coloured red, as in the light on Chausey, Vi^rge Island,
Point d'Alpr§ch, &c. ; and in a few coses green, as in some of the new Turkish
lights, &c.
In another method of producing this effect, constructed by M. Letoumeau, the
necessity for using two lenses is avoided ; and, consequently, the loss of liabt in-
evitable in the absorption of a por-
tion in its passage through the
glass. The adjoining diagram will
explain it. In the central portion
of the apparatus B is one of the
polyzonal lenses, similar to those
figured on page 21 ; on either side
of this is a portion of a fixed light
apparatus, shown by the horizontal
belta A A. For a fixed light, of
coui'se, these horizontal belts are
carried all round; and the light
appears as a vertical stripe of the
breadth of the flame from the top to
the bottom of the belt. In the po-
lyzonal lens the light appears to
cover its whole surface, and is only
visible when in front. The whote
apparatus is made to revolve by
machinery, and the appearance is
as above described : first, the fixed
light from the portions on either
side ; then a short eclipse due to the
light being diverted by the great
lens ; then the full blaze of the lens
for 8 or 10 seconds; then another
eclipse, and so on.
This diagram will also explain
another portion of the apparatus, of
which a section is given on page
23. The upper and lower portions,
C C, in this are the totally reflect-
ing glass zones, which have now
almost ertirely replaced those
figured on page 21, and their ac-
tion is explained before. It is this
part of the apparatus, as before
mentioned, which is constantly vi-
sible within 10 or 12 miles in fine
weather, and is useful in fixing the position of the light in the interval of the
flashes.
It is considered by many, including the great Alan Stevenson, that the fixed and
flashing light is not altogether a desirable variety, its appearance being too much
like the revolving light ; in fact, in our official lifets, they were always set down as
revolving lights till within the last few years.

over tho land in the rear, there would bo a waste of the light from tho groat lamp,
which, of course, sufHcca to illuminate the whole horizon. In the reflector light tins
is avoided, as a smaller number of lamps is used. But in the dioptric lights the light
is economised by the use of spherical mirrors placed on that side. These spherical mir-
rors, usually of silvered copper, arc formed to a curve, whose radius is equal to that of
the focal lenses they arc applied to (in first order lights, 3 feet), having the position of
the flame as a centre. They thus reflect the rays back again through the flame upon
the lenses on the opposite side. Flame, being perfectly transparent, there is no loss
of power in this.
This method of economising light was practised, as aforesaid, by Thomas Rogers,
about 1788 ; he used blown glass spherical segments made into mirrors. Mr. Alan
Stevenson proposed it in 1834, and MM. Francois and Letourneau have made them
by grinding the glass to tho focal curvature.
There are very many other considerations in the economy of Lighthouses that
deserve notice, but which would unduly extend this brief description. The excellent
works of Mr. A. Stevenson, and of his brother, Mr. T. Stevenson, will afford much
instruction,
THE nOLOPIIOTAL SYSTEM.
As far as they were applied, the catoptric and dioptric systems acted perfectly ; but
still there was some waste of light, caused in one direction by tho divergence of the
instruments, and, in another, by their construction. The consideration of this loss of
power led to the next steps in the science of pharology ; since that period, some new
arrangements have been proposed, by which some of the disadvantages of the dioptric
system have been partially avoided. M. Letourneau proposed lengthening the dura-
tion of the grent flash of the dioptric lens, by dividing it into two portions, and set-
ting each half at a slight angle outwards ; this would produce the desired cflTect, but
it must be at tho expense of brilliancy. Several other minor improvements also have
been suggested, but the main features of the system have remained \maltcred.
There is some waste of light in both tho systems. In the catoptric it is that angle
comprised between the angle formed by the lips of the reflector and the flame and tho
horizontal ray which strikes the outer edge of the reflector. It is the angle r P s, in
the upper part of the diagram on page 14. That portion of the light which passes
upwards is, of course, lost for useful effect ; the other portions may be considered as
"serviceable. In the year 1849, Mr. Thomas Stevenson, son of Robert, brother of
Alan Stevenson, proposed some arrangements which obviate this loss, upon what is
termed the holophotal system*
The ordinary paraboloidal reflector is rendered holophotal as follows : — A small
portion of the back of the reflector is cut off", behind the parameter, the line B F D,
which passes through the focus (Diagram 14) ; for this is substituted a portion of a
spherical mirror of the same focus. In front of the flame a lens with three diacatoptric
rm^s is added. The action of the spherical reflector is to return all tho rays impinged
on it back through the flame, and thus on to the posterior sides of the lens and diaca-
toptric rings. Therefore, all the rays which emerge from the lens, &e., will be hori-
zontal, and the remainder, those impinging on the paraboloid, will also bo reflected in
the same direction. Peterhead light (1859) is on this principle. The Horsburgh
Lighthouse, in the strait of Singapore, is fitted with 9 such holophotal reflectors ;
three on each face of a revolving frame, each side of which, it is said, gives as much
light as five reflectors of the ordinary kind. This was completed in 18.51. Another
one, on a large scale, is at Hoy Sound, Orkney. A similar apparatus, a red light,
was placed at Wick, in Caithness, in 18ul.
Fresnel's revolving light system, as at work in the Skerry vore and tho Cordouan,
with its beautiful but complicated upper system, is rendered holophotal by a very
simple means. The zones above and below the main lenses act in the same way as
, horizon, that 1:5. j

DESCRIPTION OF LIGHTHOUSES.
ni
tho centre, that is, these zones, being made horizontal, are made of segments of circlog
concentric with the centre of the great lens beneath and above them ; and, by the
whole apparatus revolving, nearly the whole of the lij^lit is projected horizontally in
the eight directions of tho octagonal prism, rroceeding ujjon the assumption that
the whole of the emitted rays from the central lamp may bo made to asMume the
horizontal direction, Mr. T. Stevenson has made several most excellent arrangements,
which, however, we cannot fully describe litre. The simplcht form is that of a
hemispherical metallic reflector, in tho focus of which is jjlaccd the lamp ; before the
lamp IS a refracting polyzonal lens, of such a section that the whole of the direct rays
from the lamp, and the reflected rays from the posterior reflector, are pa'allelized on
their emergence. Carrying this princii)le to greater refinement, and as it was found
that the totally reflecting glass prisms were cfleetive compared with metallic reflec-
tions as 140 to 87, a hemispherical arrangement of glass is proposed, which, by refrac-
tion and total reflection, produces the same result as the metallic hemisphere in the
former instance. The formula) for the construction of this ingenious apparatus were
calculated by Mr. AVilliam Swan, F.R.S.E. The glass refracting mirror has one
advantage over a metallic mirror in its powers of radiation, as in an experiment the
heat in the interior of the apparatus was so great as to cause the oil to boil : an incon-
venience, however, which was afterwards obviated mechanically. Very numerous
other applications of his principle are also proposed.*
The beautiful holojjhotal adaptations have been established at several important
localities. The magnificent light at Whalsey Skerries, Shetland, constructed by
Messrs. Chance, of Birmingham, is perhaps the most powerful apparatus yet in use.
Lundy Island, St. Abbs Head (constructing), the Red Sea, &c., have examples of tliis
extending system.
Mr. T. Stevenson has constructed a h^lophotal arrangement which he calls an
azimuthal condensing light, by which tho whole light is used down a narrow channel :
there are examples at Oronsay and Kyle Akin (1857), west of Scotland. Another
most ingenious appliance is that at Stomoway, Lewis Island, by which a Beacon on
the dangerous Amish Rock is made to show an apparent light, reflected by a peculiar
apparatus from a light on the Lighthouse on the adjacent point.
As regards the history of the holophotal system, we may refer to Ihomas Rogers's
I dan (1788), before mentioned. Sir JJavid Brewster also proposed an arrangement of
enses, as a burning instrument, in 1812 ; and the same for Lighthouses, in 1823.
Mr. Alex. Gordon, C.E., also constructed a combination of lens and reflector, which
economised much of the stray light, in 1847. The carrying this system into full prac-
tice, by Mr. T. Stevenson, is as above related.
A first order lenticular apparatus is one of the most beautiful objects in the world.
It is a combination of elements, nearly 12 feet high and 6 feet in diameter, constructed
with the utmost skill and refinement, and invol\ing in its structure some of the
highest principles of applied science.
Ajirst order light apparatus, as abo\e said, is 12 feet high and 6 feet in diameter ;
and the cost of the lenses alone varies from £1,288 to £1,536 ; or, with the cost of all
apparatus, and light-room or lantern, £2,488 to £2,984.
A second order of light apparatus is 4 feet 7 inches in diameter ; the lens costs from
£788 to £1,131, or altogether, £1,624 to £2,187.
A third order apparatus, diameter 3 feet 3| inches, costs £378 to £704, or alto-
gether, £882 to £1,456.
A fourth order, or harbour light, is 19| inches in diameter ; costs from £157 to £255
for the lenses, or £329 to £427 complete.
Ajifth order harbour light, 14^ inches in diameter, costs £103 to £195, or £257
to £349 complete.

The strth order, or smallest size of harbour, is 11 J inches diameter ; lens light costs

In the early days of the lens lights wo were entirely dependent on the French for
their construction. The superior character of the St. Gobain ai. 'reraontr^ glaHs,
and the appliiURTH of MM. Solcil, Franvois, Lctourncau, Sautter, \.w., kej)t them in
possession of nearly all the construction of lenses in use. Tlic only exceptions, in our
country, were those made by Messrs. Cookson, of Newcastle-on-Tyne, who, about
18;J0, made some apparatus, as that of Hartlepool, &c. Later, however, the Messrs.
Chance, of Birmingham, have largely entered on this important branch of manufac-
ture, and many beautiful examples are the result of their enterprize.
M. Degrand, of the French Lighthouse Commission, has introduced another pro-
cess for making the lenses, by forming them of thin sheets of moulded or cast glass.
This is in use in the Beacon light of Walde Point, near Calais.

GENERAL REMARKS.
It is very important that the distinctive character of different Lighthouses, and
and especially of those near to each other, should be plainly marked, and easily re-
cognized. It might be supposed that this was readily and well done, by the alterna-
tion of fixed and revolving, at different periods, flashing or double, and even treble
lights ; but very numerous accidents demonstrate that mistakes frequently occur.
During fine and clear weather there is not any difficulty, with ordinary caution. It
is the thick haze, snow and storms, driving scud, and all other embarrassments, which,
while they tend to throw doubt on the ship's reckoning, also make it difficult to ap-
proach an unknown Lighthouse without running into danger. Therefore any dis-
tinction, by which one light can be instantaneously distinguished from another, is
most usefiu. The difference in the aspect between the I'cflector and lens light is one
of these, at the sailor's command.
At long distances (say above 10 miles) the flash from the revolving light from the
reflector has a sensible disc, and wll last a considerable time, 12 or 14 seconds if tlie
revolution is 1 minute ; that from the lens light will be whiter, more star-like, and
will not last more than 7 or 8 seconds. Another distinction of the latter is, that the
light is not totally extinguished between the flashes, — the upper and lower zones
keeping constantly illuminated. This secondary light, at favourable times, is \ isiblc
as far as the horizon of the place, and from 8 to 12 miles, according to tho size of the
apparatus, in ordinary weather. This is a marked distinction between the two
^'ystema, as the eclipse is total from the reflectors, even at short distances. But it
must be remembered that the new holophotal system has also nearly total eclipses.
The distinction between the fixed lights, on either system, is net so well marked.
The lens equally distributes the light, which is equally bright in all directions : on
the other hand, the reflector light is brightest when immediately in front of the
reflector, so that a vessel sailing past, when very distant, will find that the light at
times gets fainter, till a short distance further brings her into the force of the next
reflector.
Very much has been written upon the comparative merits and economy of the two
systems. Perhaps the difference at times has been over-rated. At all events, it is

DESCRIPTION OF LIOIITIIOUSKS.
I
certain, that for fixed H^htB the advantagcH arc all on the side of the lens, unless tho
arc illuminated be a small one.
Tho English reflector revolvinpf lijj^hts, as before stated, are not considered inferior
to their lens rivals. Many intcrcstiiij^ comparisons ajid details will be fotind in tho
Parliamentary lleport, tho United States Report, and tho works of Mr. A. Ste-
venson.
Tho harbour and tide liffhtH, so numerous in tho onsuinf? lists, have not boon spe-
cially alluded to in the previous deweription. Where they partake of tho catoptric or
dioptric character, it will be understood from what has been sold ; but in many cases
of pier, or small tide lights, they are simply tho ordinary street gas lamp, with a
colom'od pane to distinguish it, or even tho inferior hand-lamp.
In many cases, in our own country, these local lights are not worthy tho position
they occupy ; in others, all improvements of construction and efficiency have been
used. In mfmt continental countries, as in France, Spain, &c., these local harbour
and tide lights being all under the Government direftion, they may all bo included
in the descriptions before given, as applied to the primary lights.
There is no regular system in the tide or harbour signals used in tho United King-
dom : however desirahre uniformity may be in this and other respects, the diversity
of use is of less importance in practice, as the peculiar character of tho signals aro
given for each place, and will be sufHcient guide. More extended directions, ii. con-
nexion with tliose signal lights, must bo found in the special SailingrJJircolories,
and tho charts they elucidate.
The distance to which the principal lights are visible is generally limited by tho
horizon. There is no doubt but that they might be seen to very great distances, even
(50, 80, or even 100 miles, if sufficient elevation could be gained to view them from.
It is considered by many that 250 feet is tho maximum height necessary or advisable,
which will give an horizon 18 miles distant; and, by ascending the rigging, to 20
miles off. When a light is unduly elevated it is very liable to be obscured by clouds
or fogs, and it is frequently a great detriment to those which are so. In the Tables,
the height of the flame above tlie highest tide high- water level is given, so that it is
the minimum range of tho light; to this elevation 10 feet is adl.fV for the height of
the deck of the ship above the sea. Besides the increased distauo to which low water
will cause the light to bo seen, the effect of refraction will also sometimes increase
their range.
The height of tho tower, from base to summit, is frequently given, as it affords a
means, by angular measurement by the sextant, of ascertaining the distance of the
tower.
]Manv of the Lighthouses arc handsome and commanding structures, and, generally,
all modern erections ; are made almost as available for day marks as their lights aro
for night. In many cases they are distinguished by some peculiarity, noticed in the
lists, as mentioned on pagp 7.
When the light is dipping on the horizon it flickers greatly, especially in rough
weather, an effect owing to the waves on the intervening horizon. The lights also
appear yelloio when in the neif^hbourhood of large towns, as Liverpool. This is owing
to the smoke of the town. Observations on this point is recommended, as distant
lights on land appear quite bright and white during and preceding rainy weather ;
while a yellow or reddish tinge indicate, almost certainly, a continuance or approach
of tine weather.
It may readily be comprehended, that if the refinement of economising the light
were carried to so great an extent without vertical divovfycnce, the effect would be to
send forth the light in such a thin disc that it would be invisible to a distant ship
unless she were exactly on that part of the ocean which this thin disc of light touched
some aberration is, therefore, abHolutciv nccessarv.

But this point has also hecn urged by Mr, T. Stevenson fin In ,, us one tb r mi^^t
bo made useful, as a light might he mado to bo visible only over u dungcran« reof, or
in a safe channel. Therefore a shin approaehing such danger would be warned when
to put about by its becoming visible, or by losing sight of it. It is said that a ii;;ht
of this character was in use at Beachy Head, but tho particulars havo not been
preserved.
It has frequently happened that a Lighthouse on a perpendicular cli£P has not shown
tho light to ships passing close underneath, and in some cases with veiy disastrous
consequences. In these circumstances it is almost imperative that tho light should
have a high degree of divergence in the lower portion of the apparatus. A veiy
useful application of this has been mado in some tew Lighthouses, (us in Ballycotton,
S. Irelana,) of having tho lower panes of tho lightroom mado of red glass, so that a
ship approaching too near tho land will be warned of it by the light changing
to red.
Tho masking of lights for tho purpose of clearing tho navigation of diiTercnt chan-
nels, is effected in tho same way as too ships quarter-lights are, as is most usefully
carried out in Liverpool Bay. A different coloured ray is also most serviceable, as
tho bright ray from tho Maplin, which points out a turn in tho channel, or in other
cases where tho change of colour can bo made a beating mark. All these points, how-
ever, are familiar to the sailor. In tho preceding notices arc given only tho leading
features, sufficient to show what tho general principles arc as applied to our subject.
But it may be affirmed, that almost every variety of circumstance and requirement in
the Lighthouse System has been tho subject of profound study ; and so numerous
arc tho plans and inventions in connexion with all branches of them, that tho mere
enumeration of them would bo a bulky list.
Tho English lights oro lit at sunset, and extinguished at suniise. Tho Scotch havo
made a saving by doing so at darkening and dawn. In all cases of the public lights,
of all countncs, tho strictest supervision and most careful management arc used to
render them in the highest degree efficient.
Tho ancient Corporation of tho Trinity House of Deptford Strond has had, as is
well known, tho charge of th'* British Lighthouse System. This is one of the very
few institutions (if there bo another), which dates from a mediocval period, which has
wejl preserved it importance and useful character, through all changes, to tho present
day. That it has done so, the recent Report of the Royal Commission, 1861, will
testify.
" The.above evidence then goes to show that the quality of British lights (speaking
generally) is equal to the quality of lights in any part of the world ; and the testi-
mony is especially valuable because the men who give it arc mariners, — those best
able to judge of the appearance of the light ; and, as appears from their evidence else-
where, generally knowing nothing about tho manner in wluch the light is produced.
As one witness remarked, ' They don't know the ropes,' C. and D., (catoptric and
dioptric,) but most of them think that first-class British lights, speaking generally,
are as good as most fu'st-class lights which they havo seen abroad, and better than
many."
The Trinity Corporation, which has developed our English system, under tho
advice and assistance of the most eminent engineers and philosophers of all
periods, existed in the reign of Henry VII., as a respectable Company of Ma-
riners in the College at Deptford, having authority by Charter to prosecute
persons who destroyed sea-marks, &c. ; and Henry VIIL, in the sixth year of
his reign. May 20, 1514, formed tliem into a perpetual Corporation, by the style and
title of the '* Master, Wardens, and Assistants of the Guild or Fraternity of the most
glorious and undivided Trinity, and of St. Clement, in the parish of Deptford Strond,
in the county of Kent."
This Charter was confirmed and altered by Edward VI., Queen Mary, Elizabeth,
and James I. The Charter of James I. settled this constitution of the Corporation,
80
DESCRIPTION OF LIGHTHOUSI.S.
•nd Buoh it continues. The Charter was dixHolvcd in 1647, but wan renewed by
CharlcH II. on the lloHtoration, and the dinpuiial of the tundn won Bcttled partly for
chniitablo purposes. The Charter was Hurrondcrod to CharleH II., and renewed by
hlH HucccNHor ill U\H5\ and the charitable unch of the fUndu of the Contorution wero
affain nettled. These fUnds weio derived fi-om various charges, suca as pilotage,
laHtago, loadmanage, ballantage, &o.
ITiO interest which the Trinity Corporation represented having, by the extension
of commerce, grown into great magnitude, the Gfovornment interfered ond altered
Homo of their privileges at different periods, especially in mm, when the Board of
Trade partook of the supervision.
In Scotland, the Commissioners of Northern Lighthouses arc the acting body, and
were incorpnorated by the Act 3Rth Geo. III., o. 58. They have had the benefit of tho
special services of tho family of Stcvcnsons, often noticed previously.
In Ireland, tho Ballast Board of Dublin acts in all Lighthouse matters. (See tho
23rd Qco. III., c. 10.)
Besides these three public bodies there am very numerous local authorities, which
deal with local lights. The principal among these are the Liverpool Board, the
Trinity Houses of Newcastle, Hull, i!^c. Tho number of these separate bodies is very
great ; as, for ihe 402 Lighthouses in Great Britain, there are, at least, 174 different
authorities to direct them.
The Colonial lights are chiefly under tho control of the Board of Trade.
Like many other important interests, this has suffered from over legislation, as the
Chairman oi the Commission of 1861 says, — " It is difficult to discover the necessity
for that cumbersome system which now exists, viz., a single government (the Board of
Trade^ for Lighthouses in the British possessions abroad ; a double government for the
Lighthouses under the Trinity House ; a triangular government for tho Scotch Light-
houses and for local lights in England ; and a quadrilateral government for tho Irish
Lighthouses and for local lights in Scotland and Ireland; — a system which can
scarcely be expected to find favour in the present day."
In France, the Lighthouse service is under the ministry of Public Works, and a
special Commission, called " Commission des Pharos ;" which body consists of naval
officers, marine engineers, hydrographers, members of scientific bodies, and other gen-
tlemen, distinguished for their scientific attainments in various professions, all of
which have to do with branches of science connected with coast illumination. Tho
general conduct of the service is luider an officer called Directcur General des Phares,
who is on engineer, and has other engineers under him.
In the United States of America, the lights are under one Central Board, con-
stituted in 1852, and comi)osed of a member of the Government, engineer
officers, and officers of the army and navy, and civilians of high scientific
attainments.
In Sweden, the lijjhts are under the Admiralty, and managed by a director and
officers who have military rank, and engineers.
In Norway, tho service is under the Royal Marine Department.
In Turkey, it is under the Admiralty; and the system is now in course of
development.
In Hanover, the service is under the Director-General of Waterworks.
In Hamburg, they are under the Committee for Harbours and Navigation.
In Spain, the system of administration is the same as in France ; and the full
development of the system is now in progress. The lights, &c., are under the
deparimcnf of Public Works, and undci* a permanent Commission composed of

which is under tho Miiustvr for Foreign Affuirti.

In conclusion, on inspection of these most useful monitors to tho sailor is recom-
mended to him. Ho will then see that tho beauty of tho apparatus, the discipline,
order, oleanlinesa and perfection of everything connected with them are not exceeded
by their utility.

Note. The lighthouses of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, where neocsssary, are painted
with hlack or red stripes, &c., to tlistinguish the towers from the land ; as, after tho
snow is gone off tho land, the accumulations against the fences, which generally run at
right angles to tho coast, and which continue for some time after it has disappeared from
the fields 'themselves, have exactly the appoaranoa of a wWte tower, and frequently
mislead even those acquainted with the coasts.
