Electricity and Magnetism

Abstract

THIS work is an English translation of M. Amédée Guillemin's popular treatise of electricity. We are informed, in the preface, that the translation has been in great part executed by Mr. Colman C. Starling and Prof. Walmsley, under the editorship of Dr. Silvanus P. Thompson. It is a splendidly illustrated and beautifully got-up book, designed, so the editor says, rather for the table of the drawing-room than for the desk of the student.

Electricity and Magnetism.

Translated from the French of Amédée Guillemin. Revised and Edited by Silvanus P. Thompson (London: Macmillan and Co., 1891.)
