- E.g., see two publications of his from 1862 and 1877 as well as the signature section of a memorandum of agreement from 1850. Earthsound (talk) 22:14, 17 August 2017 (UTC)

Light bulb
I have just removed the following footnote from the article – from the section describing De la Rue's alleged role in the invention of the incandescent light bulb – as, although good-faith, it is clearly original research.
