French origin of gas lighting and early trials

The gas lighting inventor is identified as Phillippe le Bon, a French road and bridge engineer. Starting in 1772 he pursued gas from wood distillates, publishing results in 1801 after patents in 1800. Though early lamps were weak and odorous, English pioneers like Winsor advanced the method by 1804, with Birmingham illuminations in 1805 and London adoption by 1816, leading to French use by 1818.
