Synopsis

This book is a comprehensive treatise on electricity, magnetism, and the interactions between them. The author's aim is to give a complete account of these subjects, as they were understood in the late 19th century. This book presents a grounding in physics as distinct from mathematics, grounding readers in the concepts that were considered fundamental at the time. It covers the history of electrical phenomena, theory on units of measurement, potential, and current. It also includes descriptions of various electrical machines, such as friction machines, Holtz machines, and electrophori. There are also extensive chapters on electrostatics and electromagnetism, which explore the forces and effects of electric and magnetic charges.
