Excerpt from Electromagnetic Theory, Vol. 1
This work was originally meant to be a continuation of the series "Electromagnetic Induction and its Propagation," published in The Electrician in 1885-6-7, but left unfinished. Owing, however, to the necessity of much introductory repetition, this plan was at once found to be impracticable and was, by request, greatly modified. The result is something approaching a connected treatise on electrical theory, though without the strict formality usually associated with a treatise. As critics cannot always find time to read more than the preface, the following remarks may serve to direct their attention to some of the leading points in this volume.
The first chapter will, I believe, be found easy to read and may perhaps be useful to many men who are accustomed to show that they are practical by exhibiting their ignorance of the real meaning of scientific and mathematical methods of enquiry.
The second chapter, pp. 20 to 181, consists of an outline scheme of the fundamentals of electromagnetic theory from the Faraday-Maxwell point of view, with some small modifications and extensions upon Maxwell's equations. It is done in terms of my rational units, which furnish the only way of carrying out the idea of lines and tubes of force in a consistent and intelligible manner. It is also done mainly in terms of vectors, for the sufficient reason that vectors are the main subject of investigation.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of electromagnetism, exploring its fundamental principles and their far-reaching implications. The author guides the reader through a comprehensive exploration of electric and magnetic forces, energy, and the intricate connections between them. Delving into the historical context, the author traces the evolution of electromagnetic theory, highlighting the contributions of renowned scientists like Ohm, Coulomb, Ampere, Faraday, and Maxwell. This journey through scientific thought sheds light on the development of key concepts and the challenges faced by early researchers. The book goes beyond mere historical recounting to grapple with profound questions about the nature of the universe. It examines the role of mathematics in scientific inquiry, challenging the notion that it is a mere "machine" and emphasizing its power to unlock hidden connections and lead to groundbreaking discoveries. Ultimately, this book illuminates the profound impact of electromagnetism on our understanding of the physical world. It reveals how this fundamental force underpins not only technological advancements but also our very understanding of light, energy, and the interconnectedness of the universe.
