Synopsis

Notes On A Course Of Seven Lectures On Electrical Phenomena And Theories: Delivered At The Royal Institution Of Great Britain, April 28-June 9, 1870 by John Tyndall. This volume presents a comprehensive survey of the experimental and theoretical aspects of electricity and magnetism as taught in a Royal Institution course in 1870. Tyndall guides the reader through foundational topics such as Voltaic electricity and the Voltaic battery, the nature of electro-magnetism, magnetic forces, and the behavior of electro-magnets and engines. The work then moves to frictional electricity, electric fluids and induction, and the Leyden jar, before addressing electric currents, discharges, and the relationship between Voltaic and frictional electricity. The Treatise interweaves historical notes, hands-on demonstrations, and discussions of notable figures and experiments (Faraday, Davy, Siemens, Wheatstone, and others), offering both explanatory frameworks and a record of experimental technique. It also covers electro-chemistry, heat distribution, and the development of magneto-electric machinery, concluding with induced currents and the so-called extra-current phenomenon. The book functions as both a scientific primer and a historical panorama of 19th-century electricity and its theories.
