The Nernst Lamp

I remember reading about these in old books on electricity at archive.org. There were many different attempts at electric lighting back then; it must've been an exciting time to live in the late 1890s-1900s.

Any reading suggestions for books on electricity from archive.org?

Are there any particularly old books that are interesting?
