Schivelbusch, Wolfgang (1987). "The Policing of Street Lighting". Yale French Studies (73): 61–74. doi: 10.2307/2930197. JSTOR 2930197. This is one of the books where I'm in the middle between loving it and hating it. I'm luke-warm, not hot not cold. Many portable mantle-type fuel lanterns now use fuel gases that become liquid when compressed, such as propane, either alone or combined with butane. Such lamps usually use a small disposable steel container to provide the fuel. The ability to refuel without liquid fuel handling increases safety. Additional fuel supplies for such lamps have an indefinite shelf life if the containers are protected from moisture (which can cause corrosion of the container) and excess heat.

A s this first book of A Chronicle of Ancient Sunlight ends, so Jenny shyly tells her husband that she is pregnant. But, of course, we already know from the earlier Flax of Dream series thatthis is to end in tragedy. Dark lanterns were used by police forces in both America and in England, and the standard design may have come originally from England. British lanterns are often of heavier construction, and some have three of the fluted vents on the top. Could have done without the sex scenes.

Il signor Bentley è un esperto di antropometria, ovvero misurare le persone, in special modo i detenuti. However, other than Robert Bentley, there wasn’t a single character about who I really cared. I could sympathize with Jane, considering her beginnings, but didn’t particularly like her. These were unpleasant people behaving unpleasantly and almost no one is as they seem and everyone is spying on everyone else. The flame within the Lantern contains the soul of the Beast. As long as the flame is lit the Beast can take on a form outside the lantern, his own body. If the flame goes out, however, the Beast dies. The Lantern can only be lit through Edelwood oil. A fascinating portrayal of a vanished England as well as an unconventional mystery, The Dark Lantern exposes the grand “upstairs” of a Victorian home and the darker underbelly of its servants’ quarters.
