Abstract
MR. YORKE'S object is to provide an introduction to this branch of physics for those students who already possess some acquaintance with general elementary science. His treatment is non-mathematical, and no precise instructions are given for experimental work. It is a little difficult to understand the reason for the interpolation of chapter v., headed “Electricity,” between the subjects of magnetism and the study of electric currents, more especially as the subject of electrostatics is resumed in chapter xii. The explanations are clear and simple, and the book should give an intelligent reader sound preliminary conceptions of an important subject.
