Abstract
THIS treatise is the reproduction of professorial lectures delivered at the Sorbonne in the session of 1884–85, and consists mainly of three parts. The first part deals with the electrostatic system of units, the second with the electromagnetic system, and the third with the electromagnetic theory of light. These are preceded by an introduction, which treats of units in general and the c.g.s. system. At the close of the book are two supplements, dealing respectively with the conservation of electricity and Lippmann's electrodynamometer.
