Abstract
This lecture deals with the origin and growth of illuminating engineering in this country from the publication of Trotter's paper in 1892 to the years immediately following the First World War. It describes the work of the pioneers in this field, especially Trotter, Paterson, Gaster and Dow, and traces the influence of the Illuminating Engineering Society in bringing about a better appreciation of the importance of a specialised study of lighting problems.
