Présentation de l'éditeur

For the benefit of the readers of Vol. I ll, who have not read the general Introduction found in Vol. I, a word as to the scope and object of this volume will not be amiss. It will be plain to any one on seeing the size of the little book that it cannot be an exhaustive treatise on a subject so large as that of Electricity. This volume, like the others, is intended for popular reading, and technical terms are avoided as far as possible, or when used clearly explained. The subject is treated historically, theoretically, and practically. As the author has lived through the period during which the science of Electricity has had most of its growth, he naturally and necessarily deals somewhat in reminiscence. All he hopes to do is to plant a few seedthoughts in the minds of his readers that will awaken an interest in the study of natural science; and especially in its most fascinating branch Electricity.
