“The electrical chapters of the book are notably good, and the practical instruction given for building simple electrical machinery may be safely carried out by those—not a few—who like to make their own apparatus.”—Electrical World.
“The author has avoided repeating the hackneyed illustrations which have been passed from one book to another so long, and, instead, offers a set of experiments which are largely of a novel character and very striking.”—Engineering and Mining Journal.

“All teachers of science are aware that real knowledge is acquired best by the student making experiments for himself, and anyone who points out how those experiments may be easily made is doing excellent work.”—English Mechanic and World of Science.
“The work bears the stamp of a writer who writes nothing but with certainty of action and result, and of a teacher who imparts scientific information in an attractive and fascinating manner.”—American Engineer.
Mr. Thomas A. Edison says: ““The practical character of the physical apparatus, the clearness of the descriptive matter, and its entire freedom from mathematics, give the work a value, in my mind, superior to any other work on elementary physics of which I am aware.””
