“The present volume treats only of the elements of the subject and it is to be amplified later or possibly followed by a second volume, the new material to comprise electrical machinery and its applications.... There are three chapters dealing with the fundamental facts and laws regarding magnetism and statical and current electricity. Then follow three chapters dealing with the interrelated subjects, resistance, electro-magnetism and induction. The remainder of the work is of a more practical nature and covers measuring instruments, incandescent lamps, and the thermal and chemical production of electro-motive force.”—Engin. N.
“The work as a whole differs somewhat from other books on the market. In general its field may be said to be similar to that with the same title by Slingo and Brooker, which is also an English book. It will be read with profit by practical engineers desiring a broad general view of the principles of electrical engineering practice.” Henry H. Norris.
