Abstract
LIKE all Dr. Hay's books, the present work will well repay the elementary student for the time spent on its study. It first treats of the elementary laws of electromagnetics, then proceeds to deal with instruments, machines, secondary cells, electric lamps, switchgear, and conductors. In places it lacks depth, whilst such things as definitions, fundamental ideas, and the distinction between E.M.F. and P.D. are not quite so clear as they might be.
