Elementary Practical Physics

Abstract

THE second volume of the now familiar “Stewart and Gee” has at length appeared, and it is satisfactory to find that the hopes and expectations to which a just appreciation of the first has given rise have not been formed in vain, but that the same store of exact information down to the minutest details is to be found in “Electricity and Magnetism” as in “General Physical Processes.”

Lessons in Elementary Practical Physics.

By Balfour Stewart, Professor of Physics, Victoria University, the Owens College, Manchester, and W. W. Haldane Gee, B.SC., Demonstrator and Assistant Lecturer in Physics, the Owens College. Vol. II. Electricity and Magnetism, (London: Macmillan and Co., 1887.)
