Excerpt from Lighthouse Construction and Illumination In the following pages I have done my best to give a condensed statement, 1st. Of the facts and principles which regulate the design and construction of Lighthouse Towers in exposed situations; and 2d, Of the practical application of optics to Coast Illumination. The history of the introduction of the optical agents, and their combinations to meet different requirements, have, so far as consistent with a clear exposition and division of the subject, been arranged in the chronological order of their publication, or of their employment in Lighthouses. Though there are many excellent publications on special branches of this very important application of optical science, yet a systematic treatment of the whole subject, brought up to the present date, seems to be necessary.

In this classic work, Alan Stevenson surveys the history and technology of lighthouse construction, from the earliest towers built by the ancient Greeks and Romans to the latest innovations in optics and signaling. Stevenson himself was a celebrated lighthouse builder, responsible for several key structures in the British Isles, and his detailed technical knowledge is evident throughout the book. A Rudimentary Treatise is an indispensable resource for historians, engineers, and anyone interested in the history of navigation and maritime safety.

Excerpt from Lightships and Lighthouses Romances innumerable have been woven around the flaming guardians of the coast, but it is doubtful whether any purely imaginative work is so fascinating and absorbing as the plain unvarnished narrative of how some famous lightship or lighthouse has been brought into existence. And the story of construction is equalled in even, way by that relating to the operation and maintenance of the light, against all odds, for the guidance of those who have business upon the ocean. This volume is not a history of lightships and lighthouses; neither is it a technical treatise. Rather my object has been to relate how the difficulties, peculiar and prodigious, have been overcome by the builders in their efforts to mark some terrible danger-spots, both on the mainland and isolated sea-rocks. While the lines of the lightship and lighthouse are familiar to all, popular knowledge concerning the internal apparatus of the building or ship is somewhat hazy. Therefore I have explained, with technicalities simplified as much as possible, the equipment of the tower and vessel, and the methods whereby both visual and audible warnings are given. The very latest developments in this field of engineering and science are incorporated, so as to render the subject as comprehensive as possible within the limits of a single volume. In the compilation of this book I have received the heartiest assistance from those who are prominently associated with the work of providing adequate aids to navigation.
